LightBox Expo Haul!

I’m so happy I got the chance to attend LightBox this year! With how much AI gets shoved to our faces on the daily. It was great to be surrounded by the art community at an expo that supports us!

I got to meet with so many artists that I wanted to support, worked with or loved their art at first glance!

There were so many skilled and beautiful artists that I wanted to buy from this year! Next year I hope to save up more to support them!

Caffin3’s ArtBook- Artist: Caffen3.BsKy.social

Thank you to @pasadena_conventioncenter for giving @lightboxexpo a place to meet up, network and support eachother!

Another amazing year with good buddy Jonathan at lightbox expo 2025!!! Although I didn’t attend as many booths as last year (they were just so many, Ididn’t even get to go to the panels and there’s only enough time for so many things in one day lol), I felt that the ones that I did attend I definitely made the full best of and had just as much fun slowing down and taking the time to connect with the many amazing creatives at this awesome event! But the biggest highlight to me was attending the awesome after-meeting and engaging in awesome animation, talk and experiences with the writeforanimation group at the Hyatt!!! this was one of my best experienced at lightbox so far and I can’t wait to see where networking with such phenomenal people leads from there!!! ✨🎨✨🎥🎥✍️✍️
