Anthrocon 2016, June 30-July 3, seven of the eight partner hotels were represented to the public by a unique mascot character in the form of a standee! I joined Anthrocon as a staff member earlier this year to execute this project, which some of you heard me refer to only as "the secret project" from April through June.

It was important to me that each mascot expressed different interests, body type, gender expression, and so on to illustrate the welcome and open nature of the fandom at its best, so you may notice this reflected in the characters!

For the Courtyard Marriott: Mary, a gamer otter who's brought her favorite handheld system!
