ACR Summer Show Booth

ChetArtBoothACR13

The 2nd annual Austin Craft Riot summer show was a big success. Loads of crowds passed through the Austin Music Hall to shop, eat and enjoy the great music. The ChetArt booth was designed with a hands off approach this time around. I floated in the background, allowing elbow room and privacy for folks to pick and choose their favorites. There are so many amazing people in our newfound home of Austin and I was honored to meet them over the weekend and receive their great support. A big thanks to the ACR board members, planners, volunteers and to all who came out for this great event.

Shelf Life

ShelfLife

The dynamic acting duo of Tara Platt and Yuri Lowenthal from Shelf Life graced my SDCC booth this year with a visit and huge purchase of ChetArt merchandise. Shelf Life is described as “An irreverent live-action comedy about 4 action figures on a young boy’s shelf.” In addition  to live action parts they also provide voice talent for Cartoon Network shows. Hearing about the passion for their work and the great support was a highlight of the show. Visit their site to learn more.

Steampunk Monkey Nation Portraits and Gear

Gundersonne

Introducing the new series: Steampunk Monkey Nation character portraits with gear. From a strange and simian-based alternate universe comes this collection of figures from all walks of life and occupations. These portraits attempt to shed light on what it takes to survive and engage within the world of Steampunk Monkey Nation. Beginning with these three notables, Mordecai “Gunny” Gundersonne, Samson Meriwether Riddlewitte and Gabriel Warwick Thorncastle, others will soon follow to join the ranks.

ChetArt at San Diego Comic Con 2013

ChetArtBooth2013

San Diego Comic Con 2013 was a great experience with high energy fun, over the top creativity every where you looked and record breaking sales for us. We enjoyed seeing our fellow Small Press vendors from years back and meeting many new creatives. We had lots of return buyers and fans visit us and purchase some new offerings, along with a visit from Bob Leeper of Nevermore Evermore (see his Nerdvana Comic Con reporting HERE) and Don Thompson of Blurppy fame. We enjoyed a surprise visit from our good friend David Patton and his family and he was kind enough to take a picture of us in our booth. (above) Celebrity sightings were sparse, but did see Stan Lee signing across the aisle from us and Molly C. Quinn wandering by and posing for fan pictures. Frankly, we kept our heads down so much with transactions there’s no telling who may have walked by the main aisle next to us. We were proud and happy to see and sell alongside our great fellow Small Press friends Dane, Ashley and John of Monkey Minion Press, Paul Horn of Cool Jerk, Matt of Mincing Mockingbird, Ryan Claytor of Elephant Eater Comics, Paul Friedrich, George “Geo” Davis and Bill Robinson of Flimflammery. Elsewhere on the floor we were happy to spend some time with Cesare and Kirstie of Curio and Co. and see Daniel and Dawna of Steam Crow, both with amazing booth designs.

Below are lots of pictures from the event.

Mint Condition 2 Art Show- ChetArt Entry

The Detective

“The Detective” was created for Ltd. Gallery’s “Mint Condition 2” show which opens March 1st and is presented in conjunction with Emerald City Comic Con. For this comic book themed art show I created a still life incorporating Batman’s 1940’s Batmobile… in kiddie ride form. Closer inspection reveals several references to some of Batman’s famous foes. This piece will be available for sale at the gallery as a 1/1 16″ x 20 framed Giclee and as an edition of signed and matted 11″ x 14″ prints (20.) If you can’t make it to the gallery the edition will be made available for sale through the gallery’s web site.

“The Detective” by Chet Phillips– “Fighting crime with a roll of dimes.”
