Not sure how many of my watchers are in the area, but...

Tekkoshocon is a medium-sized Pittsburgh, PA-based anime convention. As such, it is basically like any convention ever seen. I went last year, and it was fairly awesome. (Though it pales in comparison to Otakon, but that goes without saying.) Apparently, they moved locales this year, and the con area is bigger, but we'll have to
wait and see.

The reason why I'm posting this is to advertise myself: A friend of mine and I are going to be selling some stuff in the Artist's alley (basically a little place where artists of all kinds can sell their artwork and put their name out.) We're making 2 1/4" buttons. We have 14 designs for regular sale, 3 designs available only through order, and enough buttons for plenty of commissions.

The buttons feature anime characters, popular or not. They will cost $3 each. These are the ones we'll have available are:

-Byakuya Kuchiki (Bleach)
-Espada Neliel (Bleach)
-Little Nel (Bleach)
-Sakura (Card Captor Sakura)
-L (Death Note)
-Light Yagami (Death Note)
-Allen Walker (D.Gray-Man)
-Sena Kobayakawa (Eyeshield 21)
-Edward Elric (Fullmetal Alchemist)
-Yako Katsuragi (Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro)
-Naruto Uzumaki (Naruto)
-Nami (One Piece)
-Haruhi Fujioka/Tamaki Suou/Hikaru and Kaoru Hitachiin (One button, four characters) (Ouran High School Host Club)
-Kamina (Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann)

We have some button designs that we will not be selling. We'll have a binder there that has all of designs. If you want a design that's not available (Whether we just didn't make it or we ran out), we'll make that button on-demand and give to to you. You will have to pay $4 up-front and pick it up at the convention the next day. There will be no refunds, and it's not possible to have same-day service, so please make sure you will be able to pick your button up at the convention! Available but not sold designs are:

-Gintoki Sakata (Gintama)
-Plue (Groove Adventure RAVE)
-Neuro Nougami(Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro)

(Sorry for those who wanted Gokudera. I just couldn't get him right and I figured Plue would be more popular anyway.)

As for commissions, they'll probably be $5 each. They can be of anything.

Here's a bonus: If you request it now, it will be ready at the convention for pick-up. So, if you've ever wanted a pin that has your favorite character on it and you live in the Pittsburgh area, now's the time to act!

We'll be there under the name Bubblegum Yorozuya, in the Foster Room (Artist Alley 1). We're in the corner farthest from the door and the windows, according to the floor plan. (XD)

On Friday, I'll be Kaoru Hitachiin from Ouran High School Host Club; on Saturday and Sunday, I'll be Lavi From D. Gray-Man.

I hope to see you there!
