WonderCon will be here before you know it, and if you haven’t started your prep for the con, now is definitely the time. Luckily, Parks and Cons has created an On-Site Visual Guide to help orient you full of great tips and information. And once you’ve watched that, break out your spreadsheet or Notes app, and start writing down what you’ll want to buy on the show floor — like the adorable prints for The Last of Us, The Mandalorian, and more below.

Here’s a look at the news you might have missed:

• This is the way. Artist Jin Yung Kim, also known as JYK All Day, revealed an original piece of Grogu. You may need to use the Force to get this one — or you may just need to hurry to Booth #A-06 in Artist Alley.

• I’ve got you, baby girl — and you can get this adorable The Last of Us original mini art piece (and many more like it) from UBlog favorite Val Hochberg at Booth #C-60 in Artist Alley.

I thought I was finally prepared for #Wondercon, but it was just a pigment of my imagination. 🫢
Hope you like this piece! This original art will be for sale at my Artist Alley Table C-60 at #Wondercon2023! I’ll share more arts soon! #TheLastOfUs pic.twitter.com/abRuSdGWzi
