Find local artists and makers at Emerald City Comic Con's Homegrown
A tiny spotlight on local artists featured at Emerald City Comic Con
A big part of Emerald City Comic Con's energy comes from its home city Seattle. The Homegrown section of the main show floor pays homage to the convention's locale and incredible group of local artists from the Pacific Northwest. On Friday, the section was quite busy with con goers looking to buy prints, glass figurines and tarot card decks.
For those who couldn't make it out to ECCC this year, here's a few introductions to some of the artists with their work on display at ECCC 2022's Home Grown. Make sure to check out these artists' work and support their shops!
