I love being in the Independent Press Pavilion at SDCC. We’ve had the best neighbors the last few years, including the delightful CapyFun. It was a trip watching their giant Capybara wake up each morning. @capyfun.bsky.social

Something extra and unexpectedly magical happens to me every SDCC, and this year it was illustrator Guin Thompson seeking me out to enthuse about my art and about cryptids. Her work is just gorgeous. @guinillustration.bsky.social

People ask me why the Luigis gather at my table every SDCC. The answer is because the Luigis cannot be contained. And also because of my friend Connor, AKA Luigi Prime.

Sometimes I yell at SDCC cosplayers to stop at my booth so I can enthuse at them. That was the case with this Brody and Quint from Jaws. Brody threw some "chum" on my table. It was packets of Swedish Fish candies. Genius.

Gen Con friends! Be a hero! Help Alina out!

It made all the noises and everything! Brendan is a genius builder.

Other amazing people like Kat and JC also come by my SDCC table every year. Kat is amazing at hugging safely no matter how sharp her cosplay is. Skills. @itsharleykat.bsky.social

I don't get to see all the cool stuff at San Diego Comic-Con because I'm working. But I don't mind 'cause cool stuff comes to me. Brendan and his daughter Annika always bring the best Star Wars cosplay right to my table. And this mouse droid that Brendan made is definitely the droid I'm looking for.

Friends at Gen Con! Go get your Monkey on at booth 2904.

Way to go, Oregon! We got the geeks and the green. ❤️

I'll post more about my San Diego Comic-Con tomorrow. Right now, like this Anzellan, I gotta jet.

Grogu looked like he wanted coffee, but the SDCC Starbucks line is almost as famously long as the Hall H line. Sorry Grogu, I had to get to work at my booth. No coffee for you.

I want all of them. Don't think I'd find better mechanics anywhere.

The collection of Star Wars booths at SDCC was amazing again this year. I love me some Anzellans, and flipped out when I saw that these were animatronic Anzellans. Hey heeeeeyyy!

Right? We're just like rock stars that don't get to see the city they play in 'cause they're working. Just like that. Except for the rock star part. 😂

LEGO brought their brick A-game to San Diego Comic-Con again this year.

Godzilla collectibles at San Diego Comic-Con. Want.

Even though we get early access to the con floor, SDCC forbids exhibitors from lining up for exclusives. This is a hella good and fair policy. It doesn't keep me from seeing and enjoying the collectibles, like these Lord of the Rings statues.

Sometimes we get to the SDCC exhibit floor early enough to have a decent walk about before the attendees-kraken is released. I love this time, the calm before the storm. It's often the only chance I get to see the big name booths.
