Tony Fleecs @ SDCC '16

Hey Guys!

Big big show this year in San Diego. I'm paneling and tabling and signing and I've got 4 (!) Exclusives from 4 different places. Crazy. Here's everything you need to know.

Home base is Booth 2000 (in the IP Pavilion right by the B2 Entrance)
Thom Zahler and myself will be there all week selling art and prints, comics and commissions. If I'm not there I'm at a signing at IDW or ONI or at a panel. Full schedule of that stuff at the bottom.

Exclusives!

Oni Press Convention Exclusive Variant illustrated by Tony Fleecs

Synopsis: The double-sized debut issue of the new sci-fi-rom-com-dramactioner from the writer of The Bunker and the artist of My Little Pony—wait, really? Okay. INVASION! Aliens are real. They’re here, they’re mean, and they’re standing in judgement over the citizens of Earth. Final countdown. Representing humanity (by some fluke) is your boy Jeff Steinberg. Romantically challenged idiot, video store clerk, constipated, confused, distractible. In other words, the planet is totally doomed. Also, robots!
SDCC 2016 MIRACULOUS: TALES OF LADYBUG AND CAT NOIR TPB
Diamond PREVIEWSworld Booth #2401
Cover by Tony Fleecs
Marinette is the sweetest girl in Paris. With a big crush on a boy at school, a big dream of becoming a fashion designer, and a big problem with being totally awkward, she's just your average teenage girl, right? Did we mention she's also the crime fighting superhero, Ladybug? Becoming Ladybug is a complicated process! First, Marinette needs a "Kwami," which is a tiny magical assistant (hers is named Tikki). She also needs a "Miraculous," which is a magical accessory (hers is a pair of earrings). Tikki uses the Miraculous to transform Marinette. But her Ladybug super powers only work for a limited time! When Hawk Moth uses his mind-controlling, moth-like creatures called akuma to turn people into baddies, it's up to Ladybug to capture them and save the day! Well, she gets a little help from her superhero friend, Cat Noir... but she insists she doesn't need him. If only she knew Cat Noir's true identity - her crush, Adrien! Will Ladybug and Cat Noir be able to balance their double lives and keep Paris safe? Will they ever find out each other's true identity, or who's behind Hawk Moth's mask? Until then - there's a whole city of baddies to defeat ... spots on, claws out! (MAR169038) Limited to 500 copies.

SDCC 2015! Exclusive Print! Exclusive Comics!

Hey Everybody!

I'm sure you're all aware, next week is the biggest comic convention of the year down in beautiful San Diego, CA.

I'm taking it easy this year (or as easy as you can take it in that madhouse.)-- Most of the time it'll just be me and the wife digging around for Star Wars toys and stuff. BUT! I'm doing a pop-up store in Small Press (P14) on Friday and Saturday for a couple hours each day. And I'll be there selling this
Exclusive Tony Fleecs SDCC Limited Edition Pony Heroes and Villains print!


It's a 13x19" matte print on 80lb. Cardstock.  It's $25, only available in person and it's limited to 100 signed and numbered copies. Ever. 

If you want to guarantee you get one you can pre-order them here and pick them up at the show.  
PRE-ORDER YOUR EXCLUSIVE PRINT HERE! 


These won't be shipped or anything-- the only way to get them is at the con. So if  you aren't going to be there-- hopefully you have a friend who loves you very much. If you don't want to Pre-Order you can walk right up at the show.

I'll be at P14 in Small Press Friday, July 10th from Noon-2pm and Saturday, July 11th 1-3pm. 

That's the only time and place you can get this one. Like I said... Exclusive! Also during those 2 hour shifts I'll sign anything you want and I'll be drawing my $20 quick pony heads.


I'll also be signing at IDW through weekend!

What's up, yall??

Hope everyone's doing well. Thank you for coming back to this blogger page-- I know I'm supposed to use tumbler now but I still can't wrap my head around tumbler (I hear it's like 90% porn, is that right?) I'm sure I'll have a tumbler up and running as soon as everybody jumps to the next thing. People who go way back will remember I was on geocities LONG after everyone had moved on from there.

Whatever-- you're here now. That's what's important. You're here and I'm here. I'm hard at work on a bunch of covers and lithographs and t-shirts AND on My Little Pony Friends Forever #7. Busy. Also, planning a wedding and heading to a TON of conventions....

First up...

And then signing at the IDW booth (booth 309) later that day on Friday from 6-7pm.

Full disclosure-- I'm a big, dumb idiot. And I double booked shows this weekend. So I'm going to be at Wondercon Friday and Saturday then on Sunday, my lady will be manning the table for me in Anaheim and I'll be up north at...

The Bay Area Brony Spectacular!
Bay Area Brony Spectacular, aka BABSCon, is the first-ever convention for fans of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic in the San Francisco Bay Area. We aim to bring My Little Pony fun with San Francisco style. For our first year, we’ll be happening on April 18-20, 2014 at the SFO Hyatt Regency just outside San Francisco proper. Come on out and join the fun!
Like I said, I'll be there Sunday, April 20th- Signing, sketching and selling prints and sketchbooks.

And you can see me, Andy Price, Heather Breckel and Heather Nuhfer talk Pony comics at the MLP COMICS PANEL Sunday from 10:30am-Noon in Panel Hall 1 (the Lunar Hall.)
We’re excited to announce MLP comic coloristHeather Breckel, artist Tony Fleecs, and writerHeather Nuhfer will be joining Andy Price as Guests of Honor at BABSCon this April! We figured it takes more than one person to make a comic and there are so many great teams working on the My Little Pony comics. So we had to bring as many as we could to San Francisco for best con of the year. Coming to make the Bay Area more colorful, these comic creators can be found sketching in our dealers hall and drawing (see what we did there?) upon their experiences as IDW staffers during their panels.

And then I'll fly home, draw for 4 days and jump BACK on a plane to Chicago's...
...C2E2 2014!
Super excited to see my midwest friends again so soon! This is my second time at c2e2. Last year was awesome. Chicago has some great comic fans!

I'll be at Artist Alley V-17 all weekend selling art and prints, sketching and signing. Come by and say hi!


Also at c2e2- I'll have a page from MLP Friends Forever #2 up for auction to benefit St Judes Children's research hospital. 

Have Fun. Get Art. Save Lives.
Date: Saturday, April 26
Time: 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM
Location: Room S403

Back again for the third time, C2E2 is holding its annual Charity Art Auction benefiting the St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital. There will be over 50 pieces of original art from creators up for auction with the talented auctioneer Steve Borock handling the bids. Join us on Saturday, April 26 from 7:30 - 9:30 PM and bid on unique one-of-a-kind pieces of art, all while benefiting a great cause!
Over the last 3 years, ReedPOP has been holding auctions at its events raising money for St. Jude’s. At the end of 2013, ReedPOP’s grand total raised reached over $104,000 and is continuing the effort in 2014.

And as long as we're raising funds for good causes---
The Sakai Project!
In Shops: 7/23/2014
SRP: $29.99

My Usagi piece for the Sakai Project.
My studiomate and best pal Tone Rodriguez was instrumental in putting together the Sakai Project to benefit Stan and Sharon Sakai (Details and donation info here.
I did a piece that's in the book and the original art will be auctioned off sometime soon by CapsAuction on ebay. All proceeds from the book, auction and paypal go right to Stan and Sharon.
The most amazing artists in the world have
come together to celebrate thirty years of
Stan Sakai's marvelous samurai rabbit saga,
Usagi Yojimbo. The participating artists bring
their own interpretations and their own styles
to the subject, making this book a one-of-akind
treasure.
Produced in association with the Comic Art
Professional Society (CAPS). All proceeds
from this book will go to Stan and Sharon
Sakai. 

And finally, on a non-charity note--

I did the cover art for the first Novel by internet film criticism sensation, Vern (author of Seagalogy and Yippie-Ki-Yay Moviegoer, etc.) I'm a long time fan of Vern's work and was super honored to do up this decidedly non-my little pony style cover for him.

Vern gave me a copy of the book at Emerald City Comic-Con a couple weeks ago and I'm relieved to say that it's really, really good. It's like Richard Stark but with Chayefsky style satire and with like a wandering Richard Linklater pace-- but in Vern's unmistakable voice.  Really great. I can't wait for him to do more. 

Anyway, I painted the cover. Here's what it looks like uncropped. 

(that's my little brother Curtis getting his face stepped on.)
WHERE TO BUY NIKETOWN:
Amazon has it in real book or electronical Kindle book
Smashwords has all the electro-book formats
Createspace is who makes the book

Ok. That's it for now. Many more shows & books coming soon Denver, Las Vegas, Baltimore, New York 2 times... It's gonna be a busy year! I'm excited to see you guys soon. Thanks for reading.
