Bigtop Burger at Anime Festival Wichita this past weekend! The incredible @aminojackal was Doctor and I was Cesare! Sadly, we didn't find a Steve! ONE DAY, STEVE. YOUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED.

[shopwitchvamp]

thanks so much for answering my ask!!! i was the anon about having bought pins back in the day - pretty sure i bought from you at RTX, or somewhere in Kansas (based there) - i’m so happy to see you’re still making awesome work, and i’m definitely going to be grabbing some of your merch when my paycheck comes in :) hope you have a lovely weekend!!

No problem!! And thank you too 🥰💖

It definitely could've been RTX with Fresh Hot Flavors, or my own table at Naka-Kon or Anime Festival Wichita if it was one in Kansas.

If you add a note to seller with your eventual order letting me know you're the Kansas pin anon, I'll throw some bonus goodies into your order (I'm always unearthing random items I don't really sell anymore, haha. So I might as well just give them out to supporters from that era like yourself!)

Hope you have a good weekend too!

349 from Kristen Lauth Shaeffer on Vimeo.

349 (short dance animation, 3:05)

Created with hundreds of pencils and hundreds of hands, "349" is a collaborative animated dance film that explores the idea that we're all imperceptibly connected.

To create "349," a dance performance was videotaped and converted into a series of still frames. Over the span of two years, 349 different people each redrew one of these frames after being asked to "draw yourself and someone with whom you have a significant connection." The resulting drawings were scanned, sequenced, and synced to music to create the short animated dance film.

1 of 3 new Steven Universe prints I've been planning to make for awhile. I'm really happy I got this one done before my next convention too!

It's been about 2 years since I last drew anything for this show so I was a little rusty at first, but I think it came out beautifully...I hope you all feel the same!

[yohohotookabiteofgumgum]

Here is like the only picture I got of my Miku cosplay on Sunday for AFW. I couldn’t finish my original plan but I still think I was really cute.

[thewizardlywyrm]

Team Skull hung out with some awesome people last weekend at Anime Fest Wichita 13! We took a TON of photos of other cosplayers, so if you think you might be one of them and you want to check out some amazing cosplays, we have the full albums up on our official Facebook cosplay page, Floof and Boof Productions [ Cosplay ]! I’m not gonna add the link, because Tumblr hides posts with links nowadays, but you can search for it super easily on there and as always, photos are free to use, tag, whatever you like! >^ a w a ^< We’re a mom-daughter cosplay team and ALL of our content is family-friendly! And hey, if you met up with us and want to add me, please feel free! Team Skull is all about making new friends!

Erza Scarlet IG and Cosplay Amino @mojojojo.cosplay Anime Festival Wichita Photography credit to @lilly-fur This was a ton of fun! Not going to lie, I'm pretty proud of what I did in just over 24 hours, although I wouldn't have quite finished in time without the help of @adroitscatterbrain because I was real brain dead at the end.
