We had such a great time at Otakon this year! This was my first time having an unlimited corner booth in the artist alley, which meant that I had a ton of space to fill. I think we did a pretty decent job and we worked right until we open to get our whole booth set up. If you stop by thank you so much for supporting my art and I hope you had a great convention! #otakon #otakon2025 #dc #artistalley #kawaiiaesthetic
