Hey guys! I’m gonna be at Connecticon next week. I still don’t have shirts or anything, so I’m mostly just gonna be hanging out and doing free sketches. I may be on a couple panels but I won’t know for sure until the schedule is finalized. Either way, I’ll be chilling out drawin’ stuff if you want a high five or a drawing of Robocop or portfolio suggestions or something like that.
I’m going to try to fill up a whole sketchbook for the charity webcomic auction thing they hold, in case anyone has their heart set on a whole pile of my original art and concepts for people and monsters and locations and stuff. And if anyone else has a suggestion for something I could get together for it I’m all ears.
Unrelated to con stuff and out of curiosity for the FUTURE, what would people be more interested in, 2,1/4″ buttons like this or 2,1/4″ keychains like this? I’ve had a button maker for years and I may as well make it prove it’s worth.
EDIT: People should throw out suggestions for things for me to put in this sketchbook to make it MAXIMUM APPEALING to bidders! If you plan on going to Connecticon and bidding, feel free to suggest the kind of things that would goad you into a bidding war for it :P LET’S HELP SOME KIDS, GUYS! I’ll say now there are some ideas for another original comic project I’m working on in it and some younger Commander/his Navy bros.
Wish I was going to be there, because now I totally want a sketch of Robocop saying “Dead or alive, you’re high fivin’ me.”
Stupid “living on the other coast, oh and broke” thing.
BUTTONS. I approve
I would buy that sketchbook.
Too bad I reside in Ing – Ur – Lund.
I WANT A FUCKING BUTTONS.
Key chains are cooler, but buttons are more best sellers. I’ll buy any, just to see if it gets here
Buttons, please. Those would be awesome.
I can’t wait to meet you at the con! XD Buttons or key chains would be awesome. I request Mr.Fish and Sten.
Keychains are sturdier and less likely to fall off random places and get lost.
Keychains for sure!
Hmmm, in general I like keychains more, but my D&D backpack is easier to stuff with buttons, so that’s what I would buy if you ever came somewhere down south.
BUTTONS :) if I have to choose. If possible, both would be best.
If the designs were right and I were to pick one of the two, I’d be more likely to buy them in button form.
I would buy a Manly button any day. show the pride of manly men on my chest. shout to the world “look at me now” and then point at the button. and then everyone would give me a strange look and keep on walking down the sidewalk.
This, is my dream.
Sell them at FanExpo *sagenod*
I want poke-face buttons!!!
For the sketchbook/auction, typically gag stuff does pretty well. Both on paper and off (Thinking back to the guinea pig incident with Blue and Blond a few years ago).
You could also offer to draw “Manly Men” versions of bidders. I’ve got two people I know who want to commission you to draw “Manly” versions of themselves :)
Can’t wait to see you there, if my boss let’s me take time off to stop by. *fingers crossed*
I like keychains
How about a sketch from you, of you, high fiving robocop asking. “Keychains or Buttons?”
Sketch ideas that everyone loves?
Anything created by Jack Kirby. Manly-city.
if you have time, print out some really nice copies of your work and laminate them. geeks at connecticon will buy anything…
also, stop by the bardsworth booth and say hi.
Ahaha, I didn’t get on registering for Connecticut taxes, so I can’t sell things anyway.
Buttons for now, kechains later. Alsoooo~ Maybe you should think of doing shirts? I’m sure everyone would wear a Mr. Fish shirt. And I would kill to have the commander on a shirt. *shifty eyes* Kill….
*spazzout* MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
KEYCHAINS. And I love that the Commander is Navy xD
Do you has a table?
Yeah, I’m hanging out in Artist’s Alley and doing sketches, I’m right by the door
I have no idea how I missed you when I was there yesterday. >.< I knew you were there, I walked the alley several times, and didn't see you or think to check the convenient map out front. I was either blind or not paying attention– or, more likely, completely distracted by the list of things I wanted to do/look for/buy. Alas! I'll have to ask you for a high five next year.
Also, my vote goes with buttons, for sure. I need to get a jacket for all of my buttons and so I can start collected patches…
Keychain. For sure.
I would say keychain. And a suggestion for an image on either the button or keychain: The Pokeface logo you did for Mr. Fish.
Jared riding Mr. Fish on a T-Shirt would rock, along with something with the Commander. I’m sure you have your own ideas, but those are just some things I would like to see.
I would totally 100% buy a Mr Fish keychain – and another one for my friend. ^_^
Make an epic print featuring every character ever featured in the comic. A print or a poster.
do a joke about Mortal Kombat!
So are there going to be buttons for sale or not?
Buttons! I collect them – up to about thirty, and would love to make some macho additions to the collection. ;)
At the risk of being redundant, while both keychains and buttons do well, buttons tend to do better. People like to brand themselves and broadcast their personality in a way that is easy for random strangers to see. You can only show off your keychain when using keys, but you can show off buttons for as long as you’re wearing them. Not to mention that they’re small and tend to be inexpensive, maximizing the potential for impulse buys. (You can always fit more buttons!)
those are fucking awesome! (eml)
