So when I do go to cons, I wear my favorite badge by  melociraptor and am not looking for a new badge... but, as I am quickly persuing the artists alleys, something strikes my eye, something amazing! I spot some of  Stigmata latest post-modern impressionistic iconographic badge art and must inquire.

"Would you make me one?"
"Sure!" (So agreeable.)
"OK! How much, like $50? $60?"
"Oh, no no, of course not, but you will have to bring me.... hmm... a color."
[redacted]
"Purple."
"No problem!"

Many wags later, after he has taken down my critical information such as species, color, etc, I set off with  DJFenris to find my color. Hmmm... there's a purple pamphlet, nah... purple coat... meh, OH! Purple fursuiter, sure!
And a purple fursuiter by the name of RJ Wolf blithely agrees to accompany me back so that I can claim my reward! After a feeble attempt by the artist citing some technicality about -keeping- the purple, we reach an amicable exchange of badge for a picture of him with the suiter.

Thanks  Stigmata!

And check out this guys art, super cool style! ^.^
