Furfare 2025 – Con Ops Banner

·

Carolina Furfare: Medieval in the Mountains finally happened this year, after being delayed by Hurricane Helene last year, and now I can share the work that I did!

This was the banner I created for Con Ops. Since we didn’t have a Fursona-level supporter to put in this spot, I created it with the convention’s mascots, Petal and Aster. For the medieval theme, Aster dressed up as a prince, and Petal chose the knight captain of the royal guard.

The banner from above, but photographed in its usage space - it's printed 6ft tall and mounted on a freestanding banner stand.
The banner as printed and set up in the convention space.

Since con ops is the nerve center of the convention, when the event is live, I had Petal and Aster in a war room of sorts, planning troop movement – except the map is the convention center layout, and the meeples represent staff!
