I walked by his booth several times on the way to the bathroom, but he was never there. Luckily he came over to my booth and we were able to meet. He is originally from Ottawa, but luckily for us now resides in Toronto. He makes animated style knights and monsters and seems to be fairly prolific already. He has collaborated with a game developer to feature his characters in an iOS game called <a href="http://www.krogthegame.com/demo/">Krog</a>. I hope we can get him out to the meet ups because I’d love to pick his brain. </p> </blockquote> <p>Thanks for the mention dude, it was great to meet you at the con!</p>http://blackgard.tumblr.com/post/31480317619http://blackgard.tumblr.com/post/31480317619Thu, 13 Sep 2012 17:24:05 -0400<p>Well&#8230;.I probably didn&#8217;t get it. I really dropped the ball on this one. If you tried to contact me from the Blackgard.com contact page anytime in the last month, I probably didn&#8217;t get your message.</p> <p>The contact page is working again now, so there should be no more problems with that.

Specifically the other Toronto based toy makers I met in Artist Alley!</p> <p>First off is Elaine and Paolo of <a href="http://greatbeard.com/">GreatBeard</a>. They are pretty much in the same boat as me. Their company is just getting started, they make everything themselves, and their attention to quality and detail is incredible. Their website is pretty much fully operational as well which is making me jealous. Elaine has been great with spearheading some group projects and meet ups. Her passion is infectious. I didn’t think I could get even more excited about the future, but meeting them has done just that.  </p> </blockquote>http://blackgard.tumblr.com/post/31400117910http://blackgard.tumblr.com/post/31400117910Wed, 12 Sep 2012 10:35:12 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6njl0CTeX1r52hlyo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://blackgard.tumblr.com/post/26509666385http://blackgard.tumblr.com/post/26509666385Wed, 04 Jul 2012 16:00:36 -0400
