221 B Con
Just a reminder: If you happen to be in the Atlanta, GA area this weekend, I’ll have an art booth at 221 B Con from April 8-10. We’ll be celebrating all things Sherlock Holmes!

Hopefully, I’ll see you there 🙂 For more information on 221 B, such as location and directions, please visit the official website: https://www.221bcon.com
