Just a little update to say that we managed to get a table for San Japan this year. The tables sold out within the first three minutes, but I made it in time! This is exciting, as we missed out the last two years, it'll be nice to go again. We've got a lot of work to do!
In other news, we found out there's a new comic book store that's going to be opening up in town, and they're even working with Antarctic Press to set up a special display. We want to support the new store, so here's a plug for their website and store grand opening! Please stop by and give them a warm welcome!

Mizuumi-con went great this year! Thank you to everyone who came by our booth! This year we had our friend Avi joining us, and we added some new cute accessories to our merchandise! Again we entered the program design contest and we won fist place! We had a great table right up near the entrance, so we got a lot of traffic. This was our best con so far, and we've already invested some of our profits into a nice new printer and some other items that should make our work a lot easier.
It was nice being in the gym this year. Aside from it being terribly hot for a while, the extra space was a blessing. There were so many other wonderful artists and good vendors all around. I look forward to attending again next year! For a one day convention, it's a wonderful event and it keeps getting better each year!
Here's some images from Avi's Tumblr
We're hoping to get into San Japan this year too. We'll make another update if we manage to register a table in time.
Just a small update that we will have an art table at Mizuumicon this year. Jam has entered the art contest, so let's hope she wins!! This year we are also adding to the JamSammich family. Our friend Avi will be helping out at the tables.
This will be next month in March. I hope to see you guys there!!
Also, sadly, we probably won't have an art table at San Japan this year, however, we may be helping in the dealer's room again at Antarctic Press' booth. Keep an eye out for us then! We might even have some published work by then, who knows. ♡
We hosted a Hetalia Day this year at Brackenridge park. It was fun and amazing. We were also able to get some great and amazing gifts courtesy of Char over at Funimation.
If you'd like to meet up with us next year, please visit this facebook page: APH Day San Antonio, TX. It's usually held in October!
San Japan 4 was spent mostly assisting the Antarctic Press table. We had fun helping out with book selling and working alongside talented artists Rod Espinosa and Fred Perry. We were staff this year, but hopefully we can get a table at this con next year.
If you'd like to find out about San Japan 5, please visit their website. It's usually held in San Antonio, TX during August.
We went to Mizuumi-con the other day. It was my first time going and it was a lot of fun! Sam had entered the program cover design contest and she won first place. The program looked so nice with her work. Because of that, we had an extra table for our work. I thought it was going to be too much room, but we ended up using it well. We had a really good time and made some nice sales. We had some new button designs and they were pretty popular. It was hard to keep up with the demand. Thank you to everyone who visited. We would like to go again next year!
