Here's an opportunity to maybe make some new connections. I've noticed a lot of people are announcing their lineups for Otakon 2016 on other social media sites, so I figured I'd give everyone the chance to share their line-ups on here too!

If you happen to be looking for a cosplay partner or another person to join your cosplay group, you can leave that in a comment as well! I may do a separate post later on if there seems to be many people looking for other cosplayers.

Here's mine and my partner's lineup:

Otakon 2016 Lineup by ShortStuffArts

Share your lineups in a comment below! (or you can even add them to the Otakon 2016 folder). =D
With Otakon 2016 approaching quickly, it was time to do some spring (summer?) cleaning. Most of our co-founders and contributors were inactive accounts, so they've been demoted back to Members...which means there is a need for new active contributors! Please shoot the club a note if you're interested.

Turns out our founder was also either banned or deactivated recently, so I've emailed to see if dA can grant me the position (fortunately, we had previously decided to give co-founders almost complete power in the group - so there's not much I can't do to begin with - but you never know when something will pop up that we need Founder power to fix).

I'm going to open up an Otakon 2016 folder so that you all can start submitting lineups!

And lastly: thoughts on the move to DC? Are you going to live it up in Baltimore one last time, or are there more pros to the new location?

Looking for a specific artist from the con this year we paid for a badge and a digital art commission, we haven't heard back from the person and was wondering if they were on the page here. Could you email me with the address I provided so I can get back in touch with ya? I cannot find the email address you provided me!
