Just wanted to show my Peter Undine cosplay from the fantastic current Poison Ivy series by @gwillow.me. I first wore it a couple weeks ago at SDCC. (This is Chris Wildrick, speaking under my CON handle)

I (Chris) am looking forward to being on one of Ed Catto's panels at San Diego Comic Con again this year: 10am on Saturday at the San Diego Central Library!

Here's a video of the 2026 CON, made by Wilson Ye, one of our talented student volunteers! geekartconfluence.wordpress.com/wp-content/u...

If you took photos at the CON, and are OK with sharing them publicly--and having us possibly use them in future promotion, for instance on our website or social media--you can share them with us here.

One word says it all: THANKS But I'll add a few more words: The CON was a great success yesterday thanks to YOU-- vendors, speakers, volunteers, and of course our many guests. I don't have an exact count yet but we clearly had more people than ever before. THANK YOU for participating & coming.

We've got some fancy Risograph-printed badges for all our vendors and guests, get one at the Info Table tomorrow! Designed by our talented student Rivers Torres and printed by our other talented student, Emmet Kobasa! www.geekartconfluence.com

The Geek/Art CONfluence is TOMORROW, April 19 from 11am-5pm in Schine Student Center, Syracuse University. It is FREE and open to all! www.geekartconfluence.com

Our Art Contest judge, James P. McCampbell, Jp images, was so inspired by our Wonder Woman prompt that he made his own version. (Here's both him and his drawing.) Look out for this print at the con! And then make your own!

We've got lots of contests at the Geek/Art CONfluence, and lots of prizes for those contests! ALL winners will receive one of our 2026 t-shirts, which were drawn by our talented student artist, Julia English.

"What do I do when I get there?" you ask... Great question! First, go to the info booth and pick up a free badge. Then the world is your oyster! You can..

In addition to our activities in Schine Student Center, there is also a fantastic mini-exhibition of sci-fi, cosplay, fan art, and general geekdom materials curated from the Special Collections Research Center.

You can download our pamphlet (which will be available in printed form at the CON) here! (map below, PDF with full schedule at the link) geekartconfluence.wordpress.com/wp-content/u...
