Dublin Maker was a blast. @okamicon.com had a booth showcasing cosplay props (and me). Also there was another fursuiter and a new one too! Although I didn't catch their socials 😅

See more photos where I'm in at dublinmaker.ie/photos-2026/ and see you next year!

Last Sunday I was at #DublinMaker for Okamicon. What an awesome event, wish I get to see more booths at the event. Instead I was suiting so that I became a magnet for people to come to our booth 🤣 It was a blast and would love to go again next year!
