San Diego Comic-Con 2009!

Wed Jul 8, 2009, 10:07 AM
otf4com

It's that time again. July . . . and that means that the San Diego Comic-Con will be starting much sooner that I'm ready for it to start. So much to do yet and so little time.

*sigh*

Anyway, I'll be there in Artist Alley, as usual. My Artist Alley table number is CC-18. I'll be next to my pal Grant Gould once again, which is great (he just announced that his graphic novel is becoming a webcomic, by the way: [link]).

This year at Comic-Con I'll be selling "Oddly Normal" books, natch.

I'll also have plenty of copies of "Little White Rectangles Vol II", my 2009 con sketchbook. The interior pages contains 81 sketch card images from the last year or so and 27 7-7-Sunday commissions. As with last year's con sketchbook, it will be full color, cost just $1 and you will get a free drawing of any character you want on the cover! Can't beat that deal with a stick. No sir.

Here's a preview:

I'll also be selling a special 23 page preview ashcan of "Spellbinder"!

These ashcans will cost (drumroll) . . . one buck. That's right. One measly dollar. Get em while they're hot, folks.

These con sketchbooks and ashcans will only be available for purchase at comic book conventions, store signings or other public appearances. I will not be offering them for sale online.

I hope everyone gets a chance to pick one up from me and get a sketch! See you in San Diego!

Just stop by my Ustream channel every Sunday night and log in to my chat room: [link]

When I come online and tell everyone that "the store is open", the first people (up to 7) to say they'd like a commission will get one. They'll also be able to see me draw the commission immediately afterward, right there on the show!

Here's the small print:

-Each commission will be drawn on 7x7 inch bristol board.
-Each commission will feature 1 character, head shots only and they will be colored in a sepia-toned style, much like my "Marvel Masterpieces II sketch cards.
-Please let me know which character you would like me to draw at the same time that you post that you would like a commission.
-There have been some discrepancies between what I see in my chat window and what others see in theirs. When determining the seven winners of the commission bidding, I will be using MY chat window.
-I will draw any character or person that you want. No restrictions.
-Payment for the commission is required immediately after the show. Payment should be sent to my PayPal address: otis@otisframpton.com
-Please send me your shipping address with you payment.
-Failure to pay on the day of the show will result in the commission being placed on eBay for auction.
-The $7.00 price includes shipping cost (international will cost $2.00 more). The commissions will be shipped in cardboard mailers within 2-3 days of the webcast.
-If you win a commission one week, you will not be allowed to win another one the following week. This was talked about and decided upon during the first night when the turnout was far greater than I'd anticipated. In the spirit of fairness, please honor this rule and give others a chance to win a commission the week after you win one. Thank you.

I have received a lot of requests for commissions, both full sized and sketch cards. I don't have time for large commissions and I am not doing any more sketch cards (my remaining blanks have all been purchased by one client). Hopefully, these 7x7 mini-commissions will be a welcome compromise for fans of my work.
