#DesignerCon 2014 Ends / Hello Designer Con 2015 (Nov 21-22)

"Over 300 vendors converged upon the Pasadena Convention Center in Los Angeles for the 9th annual Designer Con, and walking down the aisles of creativity was immensely fun! There are many interesting stories to tell from a convention such as this, which was filled with passionate and creative people, and Fused focused in on our own passion: cultural stories. We found a plethora of fantastic individuals who express cultural fusion through various ways in their art." - excerpt from "The toy industry is FULL of amazing cultural fusions @ Designer Con 2014" by Fused Society.

And while DesignerCon 2014 ended it's 3rd-edition last weekend, the 2015 edition is scheduled for the weekend of November 21 to November 22, 2015 (Facebook Events / designercon.com).

Featuring products for, and reporting about the happenings on the con-floor based on interpreting online images of others, I know hardly scratched the surface of what the weekend event had to offer, and I somewhat feel ashamed to have even attempted to have done haha ... or perhaps I am an errant blogger-glutton for cyber-punishment after all … nevertheless, hoped everyone scored what they wanted, and vendors made sweet sales!

"If you want to be inspired by indie created objects, then Designer Con is where you can see booth after booth of some well-known to the completely unknown. It's amazing to see many who hand make everything that they're selling. The creator is often right in front of you." - excerpt from "Ten Reasons Why Designer Con is the Best Convention" by Eric Nakamura for Giant Robot.
