This convention was great for artists and fans alike. It featured a range of panelists, exhibitors, and had a fantastic size Artist Alley. There were so many awesome cosplayers in attendance. I had some fun photographing some attendees and got to chat with some talented creators.

Series/Creators to check out!

Super excited for the Anime/Hip Hop comic series TEPHLON FUNK created by Stephane Metayer and designed by David Tako. I picked up issues 1-5. The series heavily influenced by NYC and Hip Hop is about a young girl from Queensbridge and pays tribute to the 5 boroughs.
