This Year's Artwork is Revealed!
Odyssey Con 17: Forbidden Pasture will be this year's theme, and we can now show off the new artwork. Bossy the Cowbot is the main character with the "MOOnster from the UD(der)" creeping up in the background.
We thank our in-house artist, Georgie Schnobrich, for providing a masterful piece to go with our theme. She has been creating the theme art for Odyssey Con each year, giving us a wonderful visual to go along with our themes. This year is no exception.
The logo will be available in t-shirt form later this year and at our registration table at the convention.

Announcing Our Second Confirmed Guest of Honor - Christopher R. Mihm
Media Guest of Honor
Christopher R. Mihm s the writer, director, and producer of the films of the "Mihmiverse," a series of award-winning, loosely interlinked feature-length films which pay homage to 1950s-era "drive-in cinema."
Mr. Mihm's filmmaking career began in 2006 with the release of his first retro-styled film, "The Monster of Phantom Lake." Made on a nearly non-existent budget, the film went on to garner much critical acclaim, appear in numerous film festivals, win multiple awards and, to this day, continues to screen across the world.
