This was a piece that I laminated and gave to the awesome at the recent Anthrocon! She's agreed to do a pretty ambitious piece for me -- and is just a very nice and easy-to-talk-to person in general -- so I made her a badge in appreciation ^^

I was glad to find her in suit as Haruki one day at the Artists' Alley. I'd been told to look for her at the Zoo yet didn't find her any of the times I was there (I was at the Zoo at least once every day I was there haha)

Then I was more than humbled when she not only took the badge but clipped it right on! An artist you like, wearing your badge? A dream!

So I'd like to say thanks to Xeshaire, thanks for the piece you'll be doing and for sporting my little ol' badge ^^ And again, it was great to see you and chat with you, and I can't wait to see what you do!

P.S. If you're wondering why I didn't post it before AC, that's not only because it was finished right before Staples closed on the day before I left for AC, but because it was a bit of a surprise ^^
