Despite living in Cardiff for several years, I’ve never had the chance to attend Cardiff Comic Con. This year, I was able to make the time. They had the Adam West Batman car and an array of guests, some of which I really couldn’t pass up meeting.

Hodor? Hodor!
Me and my husband, also had the assistance of our new helper, Morty, though he didn’t really do much more than stand around looking fantastic, attracting all the attention.

What a suave gentleman is Morty!
It was a really busy couple of days. On Saturday, the queues went round the back of the building until nearly the end of the day. Meanwhile, there were some great cosplay and dressing up from people walking about. I only got to snap a few of them.
Cardiff Comic Con was really different from the conventions I’m used to doing, but has been on my radar for some time as part of my desire to expand what types of conventions and events I attend. It was really great to see a brand new set of faces appreciating my art and see people’s reaction. This lady was walking around with the t-shirt she’d just bought and was kind enough to pose for me.
It was also great seeing so many other talented artists, and proved a chance for me to make new artist friends as well as catch up with some old ones.

I’d certainly love to go again if I’m able. Exhausting as it was, it was a lot of fun.
