We are excited to announce another guest for Pop Con, @blobley ! Join us for a "Behind The Mic" voice acting panel featuring Bill Lobley, where we'll discuss the differences between working in games and animation, as well as how voice actors develop and find their characters’ voices.
Bill is a versatile actor known for voicing wholesome good guys and bloodthirsty villains alike for many years. Appearing as Huck in the Emmy Award-winning Arcane as well as in Kid Cudi’s Entergalactic (Netflix), and the upcoming OMG Yes!, he continues to add to a widely varied resume that includes Adult Swim’s Sealab 2021 (Sparks), Bioshock 2 (Stanley Poole), and Bioshock Infinite (Jeremiah Fink). Video Game titles include Fallout 76, Just Cause 3 (Sheldon), Mafia II, The Darkness (Bragg), Star Wars TOR, LA Noire, and others. Bill memorably voiced the foul-mouthed Commander in Rockstar’s Republican Space Rangers for the iconic Grand Theft Auto Series. Check the link in our bio for more details about Pop Con!

Florals, Faces and Fantasies, featuring the artwork of Melisse Pinto is on view in the Claire Davidson Siegel Gallery from May 4 – June 29, 2026. The exhibition explores the many forms of feminine energy, whether it is soft, fierce, ethereal or earthly. Each work, according to the artist, “explores the inner landscapes of women as gardens, dreamscapes, mythologies, and cosmic reflections." Pinto’s career has spanned decades and she works in a wide range of mediums including glass, watercolor, drawing, fiber, fabric, photography, collage and acrylic paint.
