You want designs? Well have we got good news for you: Rochelle has them!
Rochelle Gallagher has been making jewelry for many years,
and she’s been a vendor and supporter at Nuke-Con for probably just as long.
Rumor has it that she’s even started taking custom orders!
So whatever designs you don’t see at her table, Rochelle can make them!
Make sure you stop by and check out the latest in Rochelle’s Designs!
Also returning to Nuke-Con this year is VZ3D Works!
“We are passionate about our products and always deliver top-quality prints. We print our wonderful products on amazing Prusa printers, the best consumer-grade printers in the world! Other shops’ products don’t compare to the clean and smooth prints of our Prusa printers — don’t take a chance with anyone else! Check out our reviews, and you’ll see our customers agree!”
As he puts is, Matthew works the perfect intersection of 3D printing and gaming. It’ll be great to see what new designs he’s bringing! Want a preview? Go to www.vz3dworks.com.
Jana Petty of Petty Printing is a crafter, and making customized dice trays
and dice jewelry, plus gaming-themed tumblers and stickers is the craft!
As Petty Printing is new to Nuke-Con, we encourage you to preview Petty Printing’s offerings on their Facebook page. You’ll recognize the Petty Printing booth by the bright blue theme!
Staffer Steve Note: Many of the items Jana makes can be made to order, so if you see something you like… perhaps it can be made to order in time for Nuke-Con!
Squeeze it, stretch it, twist it, snap it — just imagine with it!
“Since 1998, Crazy Aaron’s has been making Thinking Putty® and other creations that inspire curiosity and wonder to kids and adults of all ages. From amazing effects like magnetism and UV reactivity to stress-relieving scents and DIY kits, there’s something for everyone. These carefully crafted works of art are made from Crazy Aaron’s very own secret formulas that transform amazing natural phenomena into highly designed products that are cool, collectible, and tons of fun!”
Crazy Aaron’s Thinking Putty has been keeping hands and minds busy for more than 20 years, and its Nuke-Con’s pleasure to welcome him back as a sponsor!
Fidget fun for everyone!

Where do I start? I am excited to see my Nuke-Con family! I’m excited to meet new artists and talk about art! I am beyond excited to get the chance to draw and design people’s player characters or OC’s! I am excited to premier two new art prints at this convention! I am excited at the prospect of getting a few artists to sit with me at my table to draw with me. Just drawing while being in the room with people who are excited about their games is inspirational for me to create.
Most of all, I am excited about being home, because Nuke-Con has been my home away from home since its beginning.
The last movie I watched: THE 36TH CHAMBER OF SHAOLIN is a 1978 Hong Kong kung fu film produced by the legendary Shaw Brothers, starring Gordon Liu. The film follows a highly fictionalized version of San Te, a legendary Shaolin martial arts disciple who trained under the general Chi Shan, and brought Shaolin kung-fu to the masses. Lots of great action, lots of humor and a wonderful example of the Shaw Brothers studio at its prime.
The last documentary I watched: 24×36: A MOVIE ABOUT MOVIE POSTERS is a documentary that explores the world of illustrated movie poster art; the artists who create it, companies and studios that commission it, galleries that display it, and collectors and fans who hang it.
The latest Star Wars work: THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT v.2 is the next Star Wars card set that I worked on for Topps Cards. I can’t get enough Boba Fett now that he’s ACTUALLY cool. lol.
FREDD GORHAM’S SKETCHBOOK V.2 is the latest volume of my artbook series. This should be out by the end of the year, and feature commentary on several of my art pieces. Also due sometime in the new year are 365 v.1 – v.2, which are two collections of my “Sketch Every Day” challenges. For one year I sketched a new sketch everyday as a way to challenge myself, and I liked it so much I did it twice.
To grow up to be a real live boy.
We are so excited to get back together and game!
Check out the 2021 Convention Shirt! Amazing homage to Kirby by Fredd Gorham!
You can get your shirt when you buy your badge or separately.
