BRITTANY
BRUBAKER



http://www.brittanybrubaker





Brittany is a freelance and commission based artist. She got hooked on drawing after drawing her first portrait in high school.


After graduating from Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor's in Studio Art, she entered into a trade outside of the arts.


With her job she is able to use her skills to design, build, and commission test units while spending her hours outside of work diversifying her artistic abilities.


She started out by drawing portraits in graphite. Over time, she branched out into the use of color and applied them to comic drawing. The comic subject matter lent itself to a freer, bolder, and more colorful palate. Brittany enjoyed developing this mixed media style and began to apply it to landscapes.


She accepts commissions for portraits, pets, landscapes, and automobiles.

I'm Stu, I've been a Marvel and Star Wars fan for most of my teenage and adult life.


Over the last few years I've been developing my art and printing various pieces, props and memorabilia for family and friends.


In 2021 I launched an Etsy store which just celebrated it's 300th sale.


I specialize in selling 3d printed, hand painted Star Wars, Marvel, and other comic book and movie inspired pieces.


At the convention I will be selling an assortment of 3d printed Tiki's, can holders, and lightsabers.


I'm also open to discussing commissions at the convention as well.

AUTHOR
JEAN
ESTELLE



https://www.jeanestelle.com





Writing for Jean has always been her escape. It was a world that she could create and live in, that she could control. Through her many struggles in life this was always her safe place, her solace. One of her biggest goals is to give readers that same experience. She wants them to get lost in her work as they read it.


One of her favorite stories as a child was 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. She would read it over and over getting lost in Captain Nemo's world diving into the abyss. Jean read it so much the bindings wore off. 



Jean resides in the "Pocono's" with her loving husband and two beautiful daughters who are the reason she gets up in the morning.


When she isn’t not working, with family or friends, or hitting the pavement with HOPE, she's writing. In fact she's already working on book two of her debut trilogy, so stay tuned!

NICE
DICE
CUSTOMS



http://www.instagram.com/nicedicecustoms





My name is Stan and I am the owner of Nice Dice Customs. I have always customized my own games so when I couldn't get any creators to make custom dice to use with my Heroclix teams, I decided to make my own.


Fast forward 8 years and I'd say that things got out of hand. I'm coming up on 2000 designs in my gallery. If something there doesn't speak to you, reach out and commission a design.


The dice are laser engraved one at a time to ensure proper sizing and centering. Then they are hand painted with tiny brushes/syringes and a magnifying glass.


So pick up some custom dice and make your gaming a reflection of who you are.

BURNED
TO LIFE
(HERBS, EMBERS, AND OILS)



https://www.facebook.com/BurnedtoLife





It was a pleasure to burn... It may not be the greatest tagline, considering its origin is from Fahrenheit 451 and it's about burning books. But I decided to adopt it anyway, and give it a new meaning. After all, I'm bringing dead trees to life by giving them a new purpose through fire and art.


Wood is my canvas and watching it transform into a work of art, truly makes it a pleasure to burn. And because I also love all that nature has to offer and believe that it provides all we really need, I also make a variety of soaps, remedies, and other natural products. They won't give you superpowers, but they might make you happy!



THE
HAPPY
HIEROPHANT



https://www.instagram.com/happyhiero/





From TikTok success to this table, my mission is to help people find and create meaning in their lives through Tarot readings, crystals, and mindfulness-inspired jewelry.


I believe that there’s a life lesson in everything, and I strive to discover and share as many of them as I can.


In this chapter, I’m doing it through tools that are commonly associated with the realms of the spiritual, the metaphysical, and the occult. In other words, magic. But with me, magic is more of a reality than a fantasy.


If you’re ready to talk about the metaphysical and psychosocial forces that truly animate and articulate our lives, come say hi!
