Florida Supercon 2016: Favorite Vendors

While visiting Florida Supercon a couple of weeks ago, I stumbled on some pretty amazing shops/vendors/artists. I decided to highlight a few and share their work here on the blog so that my lovely readers who were not in attendance could discover some new geeky creatives.

Jess D’Alba runs Geek Chic Dressica, an Etsy shop that specializes in feminine, yet geeky accessories and clothing. She had adorable hair bows and gorgeous retro-inspired crop tops. They totally spoke to my soul by having an added peter pan collar, so you know I was instantly smitten. She had this gorgeous Wonder Woman ensemble on deck to showcase her style, and I thought it was absolutely adorable. So much so that I have just commissioned her for a custom Harry Potter piece for my birthday festivities later this month. I am so excited to see how it turns out!

Joel from MatHat Creative is just one of those people that demands attention without even trying. His work is absolutely amazing. I was obviously drawn to the Disney princesses being tattooed, as I had just snagged a tattoo of my own at the convention. Even though my favorite Disney princess is far from Belle, I had to pick up her piece because she just looked so boss sitting on top of a pile of books getting inked by her man. It also helps that Joel is a genuine dude that loved getting to know every single person that was stopping by his booth.

Erin O’dea is a freaking gem. My friend recommended I get tattooed by her after explaining the style of tattoo I wanted next. Funny enough, when I headed to her Instagram, she had Florida Supercon listed as her next travel date! It was fate. Erin gave me my first convention tattoo, and I had a great time hanging out with her as she did her thing. A true, fun geek girl we had countless things in common and had a lot of laughs together. If you want a killer geeky piece with lots of vibrant colors, definitely check out Erin, either on Instagram, or at her tattoo shop, Aces High.
