Otakon 2008

These are all of artists that I bought things from:
http://www.lannyworld.com - Lanny Liu - I bought two of her mini comics, "The Pearl of Verandi" and "A Short Treatise on Love".
http://silverdrakestudios.com - Barret Brooks - I got an awesome clay Godzilla figurine and Jeff comissioned a Chocobo.
http://slimemansion.com http://www.directionsofdestiny.com - Hans Teng - I commissioned a picture of Princess Ayeka from Tenchi Muyo from him. I'd like to check out his "Directions of Destiny" comic eventually.
http://rocketshoes.deviantart.com - Mia Paluzzi - She has some hilarious Team Fortress 2 posters. I got one of the Medic as well as her Cross+Check comic.
http://cytosisx.deviantart.com - Matt Tichenor - I bought his "Power Up! 08" sketchbook.
http://www.vgcats.com - Scott Ramsoomair - I've been reading this comic for years, and it was great to see him in person (and buy a couple of badges).
http://www.ninja-bot.com - Shawn Handyside - He has made buttons based on "The World Ends with You" and I bought them.
http://www.abortedcreativity.com - Aborted Creativity - I bought their book "Rocket Punch".
http://herms85.deviantart.com- Herms - I bought a print of Samus Aran and one of the Smash Bros. Brawl cast from him.

There were plenty of other people who had cool stuff or I would have liked to get a comission from:
http://www.thedevilspanties.com - Jennie Breeden - I read her comics and have gotten things from her before, just not this time.
http://www.morlockenterprises.com - Morlock Enterprises - They make some very impressive cosplay and novelty items, including TF 2 spy masks I would have loved to get.
http://http://redshoulder.deviantart.com - Marc Mckenzie - He (and his table-mate, whose card I didn't get) had some very nice looking pieces on display.
http://darkmagic.theanimearsenal.com - D. Brad Talton Jr. - Jeff picked up the prose and art books. They look interesting.

I love the music video competition they have every year. Here are a few of this year's videos I've been able to find online, arranged by their category in the competition.
