Designer Con 2015

Before stepping inside Designer Con at the Pasadena Convention Center, there is a hint of the creativity and inspiration awaiting inside from a sticker at the crosswalk. Once inside, the air is filled with imagination and delightfulness. From artists providing live demos of their craft to limited art prints and hand-sewn furry puppets, this conference is not only great for those who want to buy something totally unique but also for those who could use the inspiration to unleash their own creativity.

This must see event occurs annually (this year it was Nov 21-22). Keep an eye for it in the Fall of 2016.

General admission was $5 for adults, free for kids under 12 years of age.

Art prints and posters

These robot illustrations by Tony Bui and Alden Viguilla really struck a nostalgic chord.
