AmericasMart, a key location within Dragon Con, becomes a bustling hub of activity during con. To give us an insider’s perspective, we have our very own Mike Gordon, a veteran vendor with years of experience setting up his booth and engaging with the con-goers. Mike shares his insights into the dynamic environment, the challenges and rewards of being a vendor, and the evolution of the artist alley over the years.

Joining Mike is the talented artist and writer, Greg Burnham, known for his distinctive artwork and engaging storytelling. Greg provides a fresh viewpoint on what it’s like to present and sell art in such a lively and competitive setting. Both Mike and Greg discuss the importance of networking with fellow artists, connecting with fans, and the overall impact of Dragon Con on their professional careers. They also offer tips and anecdotes about the preparation and effort that goes into making a successful appearance at the con.

Plus, we catch up on some of the latest con news on this month's edition of the Dragon Con Report!

Spring is here and for many of us it means that Dragon Con 2015 is less than 150 days away! Don’t worry! Mike, Mike, Darren Nowell, MaryLouWho, and Nikki Rau-Baker will keep you company while you panic! Luckily, we chat with the recently defrosted Kevin Batchelder about what’s new for newbies, Michelle Biddix-Simmons has some calorie-counting tips for costumers, Eternal Zan has some hotel info and budgeting tips, and Bewitched Raven talks about how to save some cash on your costume. We can’t guarantee that this show will ease your pre-Dragon Con hysteria, but we hope it at least gives you a moment to breathe.
