IS THERE ANY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (A.I.) ART AT THIS EVENT? Absolutely NOT! All our art sold on our website and featured at our show was created by human hands and all made in the USA. We do not believe A.I. art is actually art and we stay firm with that decision.

IS PHOTOGRAPHY ALLOWED? Due to encounters of theft, attempts in converting the art via A.I. and/or unauthorized reproduction (bootlegging) of the artwork, our artists request no photography of the art at the event. Out of respect for the artists, this rule is strictly enforced. Photography of cosplayers and the event itself is allowed and in an effort to share images with friends, all Amazing staff members would be happy to take a photo of the art for you in a manner where it cannot be reproduced so easily - just ask.
