Ben displays his ChetArt “Scorchplate” badge purchased at SDCC 2012
The fine folks over at Toy Break sat down for a recap of their buying adventures at this year’s San Diego Comic Con. I had the pleasure of meeting Ben this year and he purchased my Scorchplate laser engraved wooden badge. There’s a nice shout out (31 minutes in) for the badge in Episode 227. They also praised Lauren Hemphill from Ink It Labs with her efforts to bring my badges to life. Thanks Ben!

These courteous and forthright gentlemen of steam were kind enough to pose with their ChetArt purchases. Huzzah! The second full day proved more successful than the first with a steady stream of sales throughout the day. We’re actually starting to see stock levels of some items we brought dwindling down before the big weekend approaches. We were happy to meet new fans and to be greeted by familiar faces from past years. What follows after the break are some shots from the exhibit floor, a sampling of fun cosplay and a line up of Batmobiles from the outside exhibit at the end of the day.
It’s almost time again for that most magical of events: San Diego’s International Comic Con. I’ll have a presence in the Small Press area again this year with an end-of-the-aisle spot–booth O-01. With Oni Press on one side and the super talented Dane Ault of Monkey Minion Press opposite, there will be tons of creative energy emanating from our little geek-sphere. Along with 9 different trading card sets and 4 limited edition books and signed prints, I’ll be displaying the new “Monkopolis” limited edition book, Simian Playing Card sets and the “Monkopolis” laser engraved wooden badges. Lots of other fun items, big and small, await your viewing and buying pleasure. If you plan to attend, please stop by!
