**PLEASE HEART OUR NEWS POST ABOUT THE SACANIME MASCOT CONTEST SO IT CAN REACH MORE PEOPLE! THANKS SO MUCH~!!! [link] **

That's right! For the artist fiends out there, do I have an artistic challenge for you. SacAnime, a Sacramento based anime convention is in need of your help!

Our mascots need your fashion expertise! They need new costumes for the Summer convention season, but haven't a thing to wear. That's where you come in. Stretch those design muscles, and come up with new costumes for our male and female mascot duo. It's like Project Runway... but not.

The finalists will be chosen by SacAnime attendees this January, and the costume designs that win will be turned into actual costumes by Myself and .
