- As mentioned in our last WonderPost, James Silvani will not be making it to WonderCon this year due to a series of unfortunate events. All hope is not yet lost, you will still be able to purchase his Rocketeer print from Cyclops Print Works at Booth #1012.
Just ‘cause I ain’t at @WonderCon this weekend doesn’t mean you can’t grab my art! My @Disney ROCKETEER silkscreen will be available at the @CyclopsPrints booth (1012) for only $60! It has an edition size of only 150. So get yours before some weirdo does. #rocketeer pic.twitter.com/jMXbC7GYiS

- Over at Artists Alley B-3, you can find Kristeen Parmeter and these ridiculously cute “Beanie Weenies” key-chains. I didn’t think she could top her Cat Catcher key-chains, but she proved me wrong.
