D-Con returns to LA, featuring discussions, activities and lots of exclusive merchandise by top art-toy designers. In its eighth year, D-Con showcases art by the Sucklord, supreme ruler of low-brow toy-art. His features include the Suckathon, featuring Sucklord interviewing various people involved with the convention; Super Suck-up, a group art show; A Losing Proposition: 2004-12, a history of Sucklord's work; the Sucklord webseries Toylords of Chinatown; and the Suckcarnival, where you can win Sucklord toys and memorabilia. Other events include a LEGO art exhibit curated by Brandon Griffith, a chance to buy a limited-edition Designer Con t-shirt designed by Dan Goodsell, aka Mr. Toast (only $10, in sizes ranging from small through extra-large - click on the black and green image on this page to see the design), the world's largest blindbox opening, "Toy Girls," a hosted discussion about toys by a select group of female toy-geeks, an art contest, and lots of artist signings.
