Infinity Con 2026 Recap

I'll be completely honest, convention session snuck up on me. I have been nearly completely focused on writing, and before I knew it, Infinity Con was here, and I wasn't ready. Both physically and mentally. I just was not ready to do a con yet. Do not get me wrong, I love Infinity Con, and I was excited to do it, just not ready to do it. But once I got to set up, everything changed. The vibe was there, and the excitement and energy were contagious, and before I knew it, I was in the right brain space to booth. Even though Pensacon was only in February, it felt like years since I set up the booth. We were in an AMAZING location this year, and I hope that we can return to the exact spot.

Friday night saw the first Infinity Con Drink & Draw fundraiser, and in my opinion, it was a raging success. Loads of people showed up, art was made, art was bought, and drinks were drunk. It was a fun, fun time, and I hope that we see its return next year. Once the doors opened Saturday morning, it did not stop until Sunday evening. I haven't seen the likes of the crowd on Saturday. Tallahassee understood the assignment and showed up, it was a delight to see. While there were many familiar faces, there were many, many new faces, which is exciting to see. I was on two great panels, with the second, a panel on world-building, being my favorite of all the panels I have done at this event.  It was from start to finish a wonderful weekend, and I got to talk a lot about the Bazaar, making monsters, and being an artist. Thank you, Tallahassee, David Heringer, for having me as a guest and hosting such a fun event, the entire IC staff, and the infamous Dr. Shanks and Mr. Maddox.

I was so in the moment that the majority of the time, I didn't take many photos, but here are the few I did take. 

The final setup of the Grand Bazaar at Infinity Con 2026.

The state of things shortly before the previous photo.

And one last photo for good measure. 

I brought some pieces that I had already completed to the Drink and Draw to help beef up the auction for the fundraiser, but I did complete this Tentacle Party that evening.

My good personal friend R2-D2 stopped by to see me on Saturday. Always good to see R2.

I did one artist proof drawing over the weekend, and it was for a gross zombie. RAWR!

Mark Maddox and I talked monsters on Saturday with Dr. Shanks as our moderator.

The crowd fluctuated a bit, but I think it was a good crowd.

We couldn't tell because the lights (there are four) were in our faces. 

The world-building panel was so much fun, and we received SO many great questions!

And a look at the crowd.

Thanks to Chris Wilder for this photo of me and the booth!

That is all for another exciting Wednesday on the blog. See you back here on Friday! Until then...
