Prints From My Convention Nerd Haul!!

---

The one thing I told myself was that I couldn’t take home any large prints because there just isn’t enough space in our work room. I’ve got big plans for our office and lots of spring cleaning that needs to be done. I want to paint it, get new curtains, a bookshelf for all of our comic books/art books, and then frame up all of the prints we’ve collected over the years. Hopefully when all is said and done, I’ll have my dream space.  

With the last of my money, I purchased prints from two artist. The first being Carla Wyzgala.

Carla is known for her watercolor pinup style. The first time I saw her work was when these Sailor Scout pinup paintings started circulating on Pinterest. I had to pick up a copy of her Rei & Ami. I’m really excited to frame these!!!

Can you tell that I’m a Sailor Moon fan? I almost died when I saw her version of Black Lady and Serenity.  

I picked up Sarah, one of the Sanderson sisters from Hocus Pocus for @kommienezuspadt. I’m pretty sure she was everyone’s favorite sister witch. The last print that I snagged for myself was this stunning image of Faye from Cowboy Bebop. If I was taller then I’d definitely get my hair cut in a bob style again and run off to the next con cosplaying as this bombshell.  

Next up, we’ve got prints from the incredible Kelly McKernan.

Kelly is another watercolor artist that I greatly admire. I love her style, choice of colors and the amount of detail she’s able to put into each piece. She’s inspired me a great deal and I’ve been following her on Instagram for years.  

I actually saw her chatting with another artist but I didn’t have the guts to talk to her. I’m such a chicken. After the event I had a few friends asking if I shared my artwork with any one of these artists that I idolized and I had to be honest and tell them no. I’m not mentally prepared to share my work like that. Maybe when a day comes where I can produce consistent work that I’m proud of.  

Thanks for stopping by to view the art that I picked up from this year’s C2E2 event! Don’t forget to check out my previous convention related posts below!
