My Favorite Artists from Manchester MCM Comic Con

At the end of July, I attended the MCM Comic Con in Manchester, UK. I spent a lot of my day walking around the Comic Village, picking up prints, stickers, badges, and other bits and pieces from the many artists exhibiting there. I wanted to share some of my favorite finds, along with links to their online stores and galleries if you’d like to purchase something too.

Anna Hollinrake’s work reminded me strongly of Studio Ghibli. I loved her color schemes and whimsical style.

This store focuses heavily on D&D related art but there’s plenty for non-RPGers too including an adorable danger noodle sticker which I picked up for my sketchbook.

I loved the Sabrina and Riverdale art here, although the piece I ended up taking home was a print of Hogwarts castle.

I could have spent a fortune on these pins and shirts. If you fall in love too, there’s even a club you can join to receive a new pin every month.

Good Omens Print by H0ly Hand Grenade, Image: H0ly Hand Grenade

H0ly Hand Grenade

I was totally suckered in by the Good Omens print I spotted here, but the Spider-verse, Pokemon, and Umbrella Academy art kept me coming back.

Gravity Falls Pins by Magical Maidens, Image: Magical Maidens

Magical Maidens

Adorable enamel pins are the focus here. I loved the Gravity Falls characters while my son wanted all the Pokemon he could find!

This chibi-style art is some of the cutest I’ve come across and covers fandoms including the MCU, Stranger Things, and Harry Potter. I want to buy all of it.
