It’s happening! We’re happy to announce that we’ll be returning to Anime Nebraskon this year as guests, with panels and our table in the vendor hall!

We might even have a Mama Brichibi in tow along with fellow author DC Edwards! Be sure to stop by and say hi and check out my newest book Little Creepers!

Don’t forget you can always recommend us as guests to your local con to help us come to your area. Plus, if you can’t make it, we always sell all of our stuff on Etsy and you can always support us on Patreon!

Cosplay Guests

Anime NebrasKon is very happy to announce our last cosplay contest judge! Amanda Dreesen discovered Anime Nebraskon in her backyard of Lincoln in 2008. Upon meeting the attendees, she was positively smitten and her heart was determine to follow it wherever it may go! Even to Omaha. She majored in Textiles, Merchandising, and Fashion Design at the University of Nebraska Lincoln, specializing in the design and pattern work of garments. She has sought experience overseas in both Milan and Paris, learning sewing and design techniques from masters of the trade. Her senior collection, inspired by J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, was selected to be shown on the runway of Fashion Group International's fashion show in Dallas, and earned her the Merit Award from UNL. Amanda hordes fabric, adores well-pressed seams, and frequently argues with her kitty, Cato, over the ownership of her pillow.
