July 17, 2011 - no comments. Posted by in Events.

We have a slot!  At an official Booth!

Come visit as at the Con, 5 pm Saturday, at the GLOBAL FIGURE SYMPOSIUM Booth #4397.

This is a last minute surprise, and we are excited.

Onell design studios is running the booth, and gave us the slot.  It had been reserved for someone else who turned out to be a flake, so we got the last minute nod to fill in.
We’ll have Suckpax series 2 and The Art Hustle series 2 for sale, and will be giving away promo cards.

SDCC Scavenger success story

Over on the Scoundrel message board user mgeo chronicles his experience in completing the SDCC scavenger hunt.

Some more details on the Scavenger hunt:

The scavenger hunt is going to be pretty neat- you start at DKE booth (#4732), and get a cryptic clue as a hint to find someone.  That person will give  you the first stamped card.  You then have to find that artist pictured on the card, have them sign it, and then that artist will then give you the clue (verbally) to find the next card issuer.   Once you have gathered and four signed cards, you then return to DKE booth, show your cards, and have them stamped REDEEMED.

You will then receive a prize of two additional pre-signed artist cards, Ron English and Travis Louie.

You keep the 6 card set, with redemption and way-station stamps on the backs.

If I wasn’t part of the creation, I would be going to San Diego and playing the hunt!
