I’m so pleased to return to my eighth GeekGirlCon, one of my favorite PNW shows! I will be selling my artwork with my husband, Matt, as my helper. Hope to see you there!

Post-show write-up: GeekGirlCon 2024 was a very slow show for me and my neighbors. I remember that pre-pandemic, this was a bustling event with excellent sales. But this year was particularly bad, partly because customers were tightening their purse strings due to the recent election results. I still turned a small profit because I’m local, but my weekend numbers were 50% lower than last year (!) and 80% lower than my very best GeekGirlCon in 2018. It’s regrettable and not the fault of the GGC staff (who are always very organized and helpful), but it seems this show isn’t what it used to be.

That said, it’s always inspiring to see so many artists in their element, new and old. I would still return to GeekGirlCon 2025 (for the ninth time) since I’m just a short walk away from the Seattle Convention Center, but I can no longer count this show for the profits. Moving forward, I intend to focus on larger shows like ECCC and Pike Place Market (which is fantastic during the summer and holidays).

I’m incredibly excited to have gotten into Sakura-Con for the 2024 con season! It’s my first time back to this event since the pre-pandemic show in 2019, and this time, I’ll have a ton of new artwork as well as a charming helper. Matt and I will be here all weekend peddling my wares. We hope to see you there!
