The crowd makes their way into the large halls. This scene is repeated at every entrance to each section of the convention center. It’s like the running of the bulls in Pamplona.
I caught the action at the beginning. It’s now a deluge of people of all ages, sizes and colors. They kept coming and coming. Eventually, some of them even stopped by. Some came looking for me and didn’t even know they found me until I told them. The reactions were priceless.
A father commissioned me to do a drawing of his young son posing next to Knuckles. I may get other commissions as a result of other parents watching the progress of the drawing who come away impressed.
