The theme of this edition of WonderPost 2023 is: Cute. If you have a case of the Mondays, the artwork in the news below will beat it into submission with kitten and puppy kisses. That cat poster on the wall wishes it were as cute as all this. Dot from Animaniacs would concede her cuteness. You get the idea. We’ve got adorable WonderCon news from artists like Dane Ault (Monkey Minion Press), Jeff Pina, and Nick Kremenek (Dreamforger Studios), among many others.
Here’s a look at what you might have missed:
- One of our favorite artists, Nick Kremenek, is having some fun teasing his Dreamforger Studios WonderCon 2023 exclusive he’s bringing to Booth #D-39 in Artists’ Alley. His first tease from the Good Team is Ash Williams from the Evil Dead series. Good. Bad. He’s the guy with the gun.
While I’m on my quest to create a new #WonderCon2023 limited poster for everyone, I thought I’d share some #SneakPeek pics of the characters within. Starting with the good guys, here’s #AshWilliams from the #EvilDead series!#NickKremenekArt #Dreamforger #WonderConExclusive pic.twitter.com/45dEse5sw6

- That wasn’t Kremenek’s only tease. His next choice for the Good was X-Men‘s Rogue, who is a solid addition to the team, sugah.
The quest continues to create a new #WonderCon2023 limited poster for everyone. So I'm sharing some #SneakPeek pics of characters within. Continuing with the good guys, here’s Anna Marie a.k.a. #Rogue from #XMen in 40's attire!#NickKremenekArt #Dreamforger #WonderConExclusive pic.twitter.com/ra9WAS81mM

- Kremenek’s last member of the Good team is Prince Colwyn from the classic fantasy movie, Krull. If you’re not familiar with this gem, the cast is absolutely amazing and totally worth watching for a very young Liam Neeson.

- Mando would definitely take his mask off for Elly Karipides’ Grogu 4″ mini original and wouldn’t regret it. Head to Table #C-44 to try to figure out which character is cuter: Grogu or the cat he’s petting.
