Nick Kremenek San Diego Comic-Con 2025 Exclusives, Debuts [Update July 19]

Artist Nick Kremenek, also known as Dreamforger Studios, is one of the nicest guys in the convention scene. And his attributes don’t stop there, he’s also one of the most talented. With an incredible eye for detail and likenesses, plus the enthusiasm of the most fervent of fans, Nick makes art that skirts the line between being “fan art” and an actual relic from a movie or show. And we love it.

We are thrilled to learn that he’ll be back at San Diego Comic-Con in 2025. You can find him in Artist Alley at booth #FF-14 with a whole new slate of exclusives and debuts, plus his tried and true favorites.

Let’s take a look at what he’s got cooking for us:

[UPDATE July 19]

Nick is leveling up the con experience at San Diego Comic-Con with the return of his “Perks and Cons Convention Ability Cards”, now reimagined as Sandi Ego’s Con Power-Ups. These 2.5″ x 3.5″ mini cards feature all-new artwork and playful “abilities” tailored to every kind of con-goer, from those who desire a “Poster Tube of Holding”, a “Backpack of Snacking, or a “Lucky Pin of Exclusivity”.

With every purchase at the booth, fans get to draw one card from the PrizeBag — and if you’re feeling lucky, you might just pull the ultra-rare “Golden Winner! Winner!” card, which lets you choose anything from Nick’s booth, even premium items like metal prints. To power up your pull, you can also ask to have your card stamped in the designated spaces, increasing its ability ranking.

While each card draw is a mystery, collectors can also scoop up a full set of five for $10.

For his final San Diego Comic-Con art debut, Nick is bringing” The Art of the Lemon Pivot”, an 11″x17″ print inspired by Mike Flanagan’s The Fall of the House of Usher. Based on one of the show’s most memorable monologues, as delivered by Bruce Greenwood, the piece blends dark satire with gothic design, featuring nods to Edgar Allan Poe classics like “The Raven” and “The Tell-Tale Heart” hidden throughout. In the background, the crumbling House of Usher looms. It’s printed on #130 satin cardstock, and will be available for $20.

We all float down here…

The upcoming IT prequel series, Welcome to Derry, is heading to San Diego Comic-Con for a haunting appearance. To celebrate, Nick is offering a special deal to attendees. When you purchase one of his “Map of Derry” prints (which has tons of fun easter eggs throughout), you’ll also receive a free 5″ clear “I Love Derry Balloon” stickers with purchase.

You can pick up the map (and the stickers) at #FF-14 in Artist Alley for $20.
