1/5 It's the people that make STAPLE!! awesome and those people make some awesome stuff! Here's a selection of some of those things that were at the show this year. (more in comments) #comics #zines #games #rpg #art #prints #buttons

Ron was such a nice guy when we met him at this years @stapleexpo.bsky.social. Please share and donate a few dollars, if you’re able.

Kept forgetting to post this cool Cerebus I got from Ty Peterson at this year's @stapleexpo.bsky.social !! This is my favorite comic boy to ask for art of, every new interpretation of him delights me. Go check out Ty's work, it's killer! www.instagram.com/typeterson8/

Designs for the cover of mini sketchbooks I sold at @stapleexpo.bsky.social this last April :) I have ones that are 100% original art, but I wanted prints covers too so I had a lower price point than original art allows. Because you know. The economy 😞 #art #fairyart #magicart

Brian Blomerth – My Work So Far: Join acclaimed illustrator and cartoonist Brian Blomerth for a career spanning “survey of all the awful ideas and bad comics I did - and how I (hopefully) have improved over the years.” Moderated by Dale Wallain. Brian appears courtesy of @austinbooks.bsky.social!

Just want to take a moment to appreciate the awesome STAPLE! staff & volunteers. You keep everything running smooth and we wouldn't do it without you!

Uncle Staple Haul pic #2! Received a bag full of awesome comics and swag from Andrea & Rodney Chinelliot of Pencil Face Comics, along with a very kind note. Thanks so much pencilfacellc.com !!!

A week later still feeling exhilarated by @stapleexpo.bsky.social But reality is hard hitting. I draw a little sketch to remind me I have two precious reasons to keep standing tall (though I sketched 3 for compositional reasons).

Uncle Staple Haul Pic #1. zbill.itch.io gifted me the original art of the poster he drew for very first STAPLE!, seen here next to the print of same.

My own @stapleexpo.bsky.social haul! Featuring stuff by @queenofpuns.bsky.social, @mydadisdracula.bsky.social, @upandoutcomic.bsky.social, @lewindersart.bsky.social, John Bug Media (Nicolai), Dori Talifero, @missjamiekaye.bsky.social, @retrotv5000.bsky.social, @pipsgeekjo.bsky.social

Tired but glowing after @stapleexpo.bsky.social It's a show that always feels like a family reunion. It's comforting to know I can always come back. If you saw me there, sorry if I was ever especially air headed at times. The looming move has me a little out of it. Glad I got to see everyone <3

I can't even begin to put into words how great @stapleexpo.bsky.social 2025 was (nor do I have the space to say it all here). I had such a blast. Thanks to everyone who came out to support, and especially to Uncle Staple and the rest of the crew that made it run so smoothly. See you there next year!

My haul from Staple @stapleexpo.bsky.social this year!! Didn't table but had a great time just walking around and picking up lovely sundry wares!
