by Elaine Walker The Art Show is a SwanCon tradition. In this it is not so different from many SF cons over the world, and provides an opportunity for the artistic among the SwanCon attendees to produce some art of a fannish nature, or even just links to fandom in some way.

Post by Doug Burbidge Swancon 2003. (That link takes you to “There is currently no text in this page.” Feel free to create some.)

Swancon 2002 badge
Post by Doug Burbidge Swancon 2002 was subtitled “Dragons of the World” (to which my brain always automatically adds the word “unite!”). One side of this badge names me as “Doug”; the other side as “Doug Burbidge”, with the second name under the first and in a smaller font. This would be a great feature,… Continue reading Swancon 2002 badge
