Under the Tents 2022: Alex Ross, Patrick Ballesteros, Insight Editions, Priscilla Wilson, TeeTurtle

It’s been a busy week of San Diego Comic-Con news (and if you participated in the General Hotel sale, also San Diego Comic-Con stress). So while many of us are trying to pass the time until we get our hotel placements, let’s take a look at the news. And there’s plenty of it! We have original art, original toys, exciting launches at the convention, and a lot of confirmations.

Let’s take a look at the news you might have missed:

It’s a bird, it’s a plane — it’s Alex Ross original art heading to San Diego Comic-Con!

Artist Patrick Ballesteros sets out to create 100 mini originals each year, which are typically available on set days of the convention at his Artist Alley booth, so you can try to grab your favorite. These first two are everywhere, everything, all at once — and then some.

First SDCC mini all set! Now only 99 to go 😳.

Also, big shout-out to the amazing team of Andy Le, Brian LE, Daniel Mah and the rest of the movie stunt and choreography team for helping to make such an amazing film!#everythingeverywhereallatonce pic.twitter.com/gbPHklKGwe

Artist Priscilla Wilson has been very busy, with several San Diego Comic-Con exclusives and debuts already announced. But that’s definitely not all she has planned, as she showed off some cast experiments for coloring of her popular Soonay figures. Would you like a run of these UV-reactive colorways at the con? Be sure to let her know.

I did some cast experiments today and liked how this one came out. Maybe a run of something like this for SDCC?? Colors are UV reactive. ☀️ #Soonay pic.twitter.com/fD4CQXi6Yi

Insight Editions always brings fun exclusives and exciting imprints to San Diego Comic-Con, but this year they’ve got something really special up their sleeves. They’ll be introducing a line of new Flip Pop transforming paper-engineered figures of characters such as Batman and Boba Fett, at the convention.

TeeTurtle make the cutest tees this side of the universe — which is why it’s good news they’ll be bringing their adorable designs to San Diego Comic-Con this July.

Also making the trek this summer is popular indie comics publisher Zenescope Entertainment, who list the convention on their 2022 appearances.

Award-winning cartoonist and comics maker Nate Powell will be heading to the convention this summer — though it sounds like as an attendee — but if you are looking for a guest to fill your panel, he is available!

I’m planning to attend San Diego Comic Con this July— holler at me if you’re interested in having me on a panel, etc! Thanks.
