Chris Patton has been a Voice Actor for fifteen years. He has appeared in over 170 Anime titles, most recently as Keima in The World God Only Knows, Gintoki in the Gin Tama motion picture, plus roles in Towa no Quon and Ef a Tale of Memories…
But let’s get real, most of you know him because he was Sousuke in Full Metal Panic, Greed in Fullmetal Alchemist, Sho in Guyver, Fakir in Princess Tutu, and Ashura in Soul Eater. Some of his favorite Anime roles include Ayato in RahXephon, Sasame in Pretear, Rei Otohata in Super Gals, and Hajime in Ghost Stories.
By day, Chris is a full-time Voice Talent, voicing everything from Anime to Corporate Narration, and everything in-between, operating under the business moniker, Chris Patton Voice Worx. Check out his site here: www.voiceofchrispatton.com
On stage, Chris has appeared as Mark Cohen in RENT, Montague in Romeo and Juliet, Riff Raff AND Frank n Furter in the live, theatrical version of The Rocky Horror Show, Leaf Coneybear in Spelling Bee and many, many more.
This is his first Daisho Con, and he’s stoked!
J.L. Westover is the creator of Mr. Lovenstein, a popular webcomic that’s really funny because of the author’s use of a comedian that he has locked in his basement. Mr. Lovenstein has been featured on sites such as explosm.net and FMyLife.com.
That’s just if he is in a pinch though. Most of the time, J.L. Westover can be found creating comics based on day-to-day conversations with people, over-analyzing daily life and sayings, and allowing his mind to wander off on tangents and hopefully come back with something coherent.
This will be Scott Lynch’s third year at Daisho Con. This well known fantasy author is best known for his book series the “Gentleman Bastard Sequence”. This series currently consists of The Lies of Locke Lamora, and Red Seas Under Red Skies, with more books in the works.
Scott also writes his own online serial adventure called Queen of the Iron Sands. We look forward to having Scott with us this year and hope that you will check out his works. More information about his books can be found at http://www.scottlynch.us/books.html.
