DesignerCon 2010
an annual art and design convention!
Pasadena, CA -
Designer Con is an annual art and design convention that cleverly and effectively incorporates all things toys, plush, apparel, artwork and more
that are created in the world of design.
DesignerCon.com is all about having fun and meeting all of the up-and-coming and
tried-and-true artists, designers, manufacturers, and vendors that fast become collecting favorites!
This year was DesignerCon's 5th year and it definitely came together and brought a wonderfully collective effort of artists, designers, and exhibitors that
reached out to the convention's attendees. With custom art shows, live demonstrations, autograph sessions, grab bags and more, those who attended left satisfied
with this year's DesignerCon and excited for next year's.
What stood out most was how DesignerCon had a little bit of everything and whole lot for everyone!
During the convention, the "IN" show stopped and spoke with a few of the artists exhibiting at the convention. Additionally, Ayleen
Gaspar - co-creator (with Ben Goretsky of 3DRetro.com) of DesignerCon - gave us a fantastic interview and we're excited to share it with all of you!
If you made it to this year's DesignerCon, tell everyone you know what a blast it was. If you couldn't make it, then mark your calendar now for next year because
it is sure to be even bigger and better than this one's!
