We are one more Monday closer to San Diego Comic-Con, which leaves *uses fingers to count*….. only FOUR more Mondays until the main event. While we wait for the exhibitor list, panel schedule, and announcements from the heavy hitters, let’s take a deep dive into who will be there, who is bringing the goods, and who you’re not going to want to miss.

- Artist Dave Kellett isn’t making any promises about doing any commission but invited you to e-mail him and see if a deal can be made. May we suggest you ask for something pug related?
Going to SDCC, yes!

I don’t think I’m doing commissions this year, but feel free to email me at dave@davekellett.com and I will consider it if it’s a fun one! 🙂
- Artist David Wong has one of the busiest convention schedules we have seen in a long time, but we are happy to say that he’s making time for San Diego Comic-Con. He’ll be set up selling all his fun and funky art prints.
- The Heroes & Villains brand, known for their unique and original licensed clothing and accessories, has announced on Instagram that they will be at San Diego Comic-Con where you’ll be able to find these Ahsoka pieces, plus much more.
- Our faces melted with excitement to hear that artist Alex Pardee will be back in his usual spot in July. You can find him and fellow freak of nature Dave Correia at booths #5502 and 5503. If you like art that scares you in the cutest way possible, we think you’ll want to head over there tout de suite!

- We have heard Weta Workshop might not have a booth at San Diego Comic-Con this year — instead, they’re bringing the convention experience to Auckland, New Zealand with Weta Workshop Unleashed featuring workshops, reveals and much more.
As part of the celebration, they will be marking the 20th Anniversary of Lord of the Rings with a panel and Q&A with Richard Taylor, Daniel Falconer, and several Wētā Workshop artists. Seating is very limited so RSVP if you can make it in person, otherwise, you can catch it on their Facebook Live stream.

Don will be at Artist Alley HH-03, be sure to swing by and say hello!
