Pensacon 2026 Recap

Over this past weekend, we enjoyed ourselves at Pensacon 2026. Pensacon is the start of our convention season and is one of our most fun events. They take amazing care of us at Pensacon, and it is an absolute blast sharing the Grand Bazaar with so many people. We were in our usual spot along the artist ring above the vendor floor. I do not have enough good things to say about Pensacon, and a massive thanks to Mike Ensley, Julio Diaz, Lemmie Crews, and the entire Pensacon team for making a truly special event. And a shout out to the art family that we are surrounded by at the show. I have been incredibly busy with writing and working, which left much of the preparation for the show was done very last minute. I was writing until the last moment and then some while at the show. But in the end, I needed a little break from things, and Pensacon was the perfect choice. Here are some images and thoughts from the show.

The Grand Bazaar at Pensacon 2026!

I did a lot of drawing at this show and had a blast doing it.

The beach was doing its best to be uninviting.

This was the second cover that I have done for this collector, and this, by far, was my favorite thing that I drew this year at the show. Working on the colored paper with its surface was very reminiscent of my normal paper, and this felt very natural.

And some more monsters!

I did a bad job this year with taking photos. I say that, but in reality, I was in the moment talking to people about the Grand Bazaar, art, games, and more. So instead of taking photos, I was enjoying myself at the show. That said, here is a look at the vendor floor. Saturday definitely had the crush of people that got a little intense. 

And even more monsters.

On the day we left the beaches cleared up... and the temps dropped.

Oh well, not this time. 

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