Recent Setups

Here are a few recent events where I’ve set up my pixel art booth. I love seeing how different crowds react to different fandoms, and I’m always tweaking my layout, inventory, and displays. These videos give a little behind-the-scenes look at what my setup actually looks like in the wild.

Cincinnati Comic Expo 2025-Sharonville Ohio

This is one of the biggest and busiest shows I do. The Comic Expo is where I really test how my setup holds up under constant traffic—rows of grid walls, lots of vertical display, and a huge mix of fandoms all in one place. It’s a great show for seeing what stops people in their tracks and which pieces get the “I’ve been looking for this forever” reaction.

Anime Ohio 2025-Sharonville Ohio

Anime Ohio is one of my favorite shows for pure fandom energy. It’s wall-to-wall cosplayers, anime lovers, and people who immediately recognize even the most obscure characters. This is the kind of crowd that really “gets” pixel art, so I push my brighter, more detailed pieces here—lots of magnets, keychains, and bigger statement art all in one packed booth.

Harvest Home Fair 2025-Cheviot Ohio

Harvest Home has a totally different vibe from conventions: more families, repeat local customers, and people who wander back to the booth multiple times before finally choosing “just one more magnet.” It’s a good place to see how my work connects with non-con crowds—kids, grandparents, and everyone in between.

Cincinnati Comic Expo 2024-Sharonville Ohio

This show was a big turning point for my setup and inventory. I experimented with different ways of using my grid walls, tried new themes, and paid attention to what people picked up the most. A lot of what I bring to shows now grew out of what I learned at this Expo.
