F. Scott Fetchgerald- No Regrets

Upon learning that I was highlighted on Regretsy this week, a brief twinge of concern passed through me. Regretsy is the hilariously witty clearinghouse for all things gone horribly wrong in the world of art and crafting. Thanks to a shout out from Dane over at Monkey Minion Press, I learned I was part of Regretsy’s “Awesome Purchase of the Week” post. Thanks to April’s kind words of support and spotlight on F. Scott Fetchgerald, I spent the next 24 hours constantly fulfilling Etsy orders. Thank you Regretsy and all that came by to shop!

San Diego Comic Con 2011- Wrap Up

The San Diego Convention Center from our hotel’s front door.

Our last day started slow and showed all the signs of a general mood of winding down… until after lunchtime. The crowds and sales suddenly came to life and we ended up with our best day to date. So it was a great way to wrap things up for our second year in San Diego. The only regret from the experience was a lack of time to spend out in the exhibit hall visiting other booths and vendors. I took a bit of time during the morning lull to document a few of our neighbor’s booths. Be sure and visit their sites for more fun and wonderfulness.

San Diego Comic Con 2011- Day 4

Peter Mayhew with his purchase of my “Hairy Trinity” print.

Another day of great sales with the added bonus of two great events. The first was the purchase of my signed print titled “The Hairy Trinity” by the wife of Mr. Peter Mayhew, a.k.a. Chewbacca. (Peter has recently undergone surgery and wasn’t able to walk the convention floor.) Shortly after the purchase I visited Peter’s signing booth to thank them both for the purchase and was invited to take a picture of Peter holding his print.

The second event was the purchase of one of my new Superlative/Nefarious books by a gentleman that showed an intense interest and asked several questions about the project. As we wrapped up the sale he presented his business card and identified himself as a project executive with Imagine Entertainment, the company founded by Ron Howard and Brian Grazer. So perhaps my book will eventually work its way through the studio’s intricate project review maze.

More photos from the day:

San Diego Comic Con 2011- Day 3

Today’s sales were a record for a single day’s effort for us. Thus we were both very focused on staying close to the booth. What follows are some additional shots around the convention floor before the doors opened, a couple of booth shots of talented folks (and new friends) and more costume fun.

Melabo’s Ceramic Frankensteins

Melabo’s Etsy shop is a fine representation of what would have happened if Dr. Moreau had taken a ceramics class instead of buying that island.

Sinister Simian Limited Edition-Softcover Version

The latest version of “The Society of Sinister Simians” is now available in the Etsy shop.

Signed and numbered from a limited edition of 50. This handbound, softcover book is covered in rich Arista burgundy bonded leather. A silver foil hot-stamped image and title adorn the cover. The structure is a stab binding (sewn with a black thread) with rounded corners and printed floral metallic paper end sheets. It was printed on a digital press on Cougar Opaque 80 lb text. Book Dimensions- 5.25″ x 7.25″

“The Society of Sinister Simians” explores the mysterious world of an evil collection of vicious and power hungry primates that held sway over the land centuries ago. Thanks to the efforts of the ill-fated Sourcrust archeological dig of 1887, details of this foul organization have finally come to light. In this book you will learn of The Society’s immortal leader, his powerful and brutal cadre of ministers and advisors, as well as a variety of assassins, spies, soldiers and frightful supernatural figures.

Twenty-four evil simians are fully illustrated and are accompanied by extensive biographies in the text. A map detailing the realm of sinister sway, two-page spreads of weapons and medals galleries, as well as an addendum of sinister ephemera are also included.
