It’s technically WonderCon Wednesday, but let’s be honest – we’ve had WonderCon news just about every day lately, so let’s just call it WonderCon month. In today’s WonderPost, we’ve got lots of updates for you, including lots of pre-convention commissions lists, an art print bundle that benefits autism research, exclusives, prints, and so much more.
Here’s a look at the news you might have missed:
- Looking for some awesome original art to commission for WonderCon? Bob Q, best known for his work on Ms. Marvel and James Bond, has you covered, as he’s now opened his WonderCon pre-convention commissions list. Grab your spot today — you won’t regret it.
Oh also: if you’re going to #wondercon I’m taking pre-show commissions.
Maybe you want one?

- WonderCon is all about the art (and rightfully so) – so we love how many artists offer pre-commissions lists. Artist Chandler Ford is also opening her pre-commission list, with prices starting at $80. Find more information on her Instagram.
