I kinda dropped the ball on building up to this con this week, what with the double-whammy of the Ethan statue preorders and my SP! book 4 fundraising blitz, but I’m gonna be in San Francisco this weekend for Wondercon!
I’ll be there with Kel McDonald (Sorcery 101), and we’ll be in the Small Press area, at table SP-29, I believe. I’ll have books and prints and some new posters! One of my old prints, you see, has just graduated into a new poster. I keep selling out of my 8″x10? Dinobot “HONOR” print at every convention, so I decided, okay, this is a sign, and I did it up as a 11″x17″ poster on glossy cardstock. I redrew the art for the bigger size, since the original graphic was kind of iffy at the smaller size already, and the final product is friggin’ spiffy, if I may say so. If you aren’t gonna be in SanFran this weekend, you can also find the poster in the store.
It’s my first convention in the city where Shortpacked! takes place! I’m excited! It’s also my birthday this weekend. On Sunday I turn 32. If you’re there, feel free to drop me some extra booze money.
I really dig that poster–you should totally also have a new one for whoever you want to get into the Hall of Fame this year.
But I was a bit curious about the legality of something: could you be sued for selling a TF related item without the license, or does it fall under some sort of artistic freedom clause? Or is it that it falls under a safe zone of not being a “huge” amount of sales, and therefore not something they want to worry about?
I’m probably not gonna campaign for anybody this year, though a Waspinator “PLANS” poster is tempting nonetheless.
As for legality, you couldn’t spit at a convention without hitting fanart-for-sale. I’m not worried.
Oh, sweet. I’d assumed it was too far out of your way since you hadn’t said anything about it. See you there!
Thus confirming my suspicions that nobody sees/notices the “Convention Appearances” block over on the right. I swear, that thing is useless!
I didn’t realize it existed until just now…
And folks wonder why I’m very happy to put a big ad up where the comic would have been when I want to get people’s attention!
I do notice it. But I don’t live in the U.S.
