Dragon Con 2022 and the Art Life

12/11/2022

One of the biggest issues facing the creative future is Ai and the Electronic Frontiers Forums was present at this year's Dragon Con in Atlanta, GA to share a bit of what we should expect coming soon.

Dragon Con is the biggest convention in the South East featuring pop culture, fiction and fantasy, gaming, comics, art, music and tons of creators showing off the most amazing art and goods in five days during the Labor Day weekend. whew!

Our focus when visiting Dragon Con, is the Art Life of the creatives who invest their time and resources in promoting their art wares, sharing their cosplay creations and building community with like minded creatives.

This year we visited the Comics and Pop Artist Alley, The Art Show and caught up with the future of the arts where the focus was the advent of Ai, the metaverse, Web3 and NFTs.

The biggest takeaway in the conversations: keep creating and enjoy the experience for now.
