ok this one... I'm REALLY happy about.

At almost every con, Cooner does something special. Last year it was laser cut acrylic badges, at another con it was laser cut wood burns, and at another it was leather. All for pre-order and all REALLY expensive.

I had been watching his LJ hoping to catch the pre-order message (not to mention keep up with his art cause I love it so much.) and up untill about a week or so before the con...nothing.

I come home from work one night and log on at about 2 AM. I notice that he's posted he's taking pre-orders. I also notice the 'special" badge is what you see above. the character so big that he's acctually breaking out of the badge holder (a standard one). I had heard that when he posts these things they fill up quickly, so I decided to chance it...and at 3:30, I get a message abck from cooner asking me for character info and such. My jaw hit the floor!

This really is a HUGE badge (I believe the dimentions are roughly 5 inches tall by about 6 inches wide) and it really was worth the money.

Will I get another pic/badge from him? Only time, and money will tell...but if I ever had my way...you could bet on it.
