As you may have noticed, the news is definitely starting to pick up. So busy, in fact, that we’re not going to waste too much time on this intro, and get back to writing the rest of the news. This morning, we’ve got lots of updates for you, including commissions from fan favorite Eggdrop Ramen, new artwork from Mouse Guard and Spider-Man aficionado Ethan Castillo, and so much more.
Let’s take a look at the news you didn’t sleep through:
- Mark your calendars! Vince Alvendia, also known as EggdropRamen.Studio, will be opening a limited number of commissions at 10am PT on Saturday, July 1 on his webstore.
- While the Comic-Con Museum may not be hosting any after hours events this year, they do have lots of exciting new exhibits opening Tuesday, July 18, focused on the life and legacy of Stan Lee, a collaboration with Mondo and Crunchyroll to celebrate 25 years of Cowboy Bebop, an installation for My Hero Academia, and so much more.
- Artist Henry Liao has been busy prepping for San Diego Comic-Con, with new prints, pre-con commissions, and more. Stop by Booth #FF-17 and say hi (and it might not be too late to get on Henry’s commissions list!).
- Little Friends of Printmaking are always a must-stop on the exhibit floor for us, and you’ll want to add Booth #2046 to your own list to grab this new “Records” sweatshirt, which will be debuting at the con. Looks like a hit to us.
