Celebration Orlando: Art

DarthDerek · Mar 29, 2017

Does anyone know if Russell Walk will have his own booth? If you look at the exhibitor info on the celebration site it says that ThinkGeek will be selling his print. Can that be right? I just want to make sure I know where to go as I want to pick up his print first thing. I tried emailing him through his website but haven't heard anything.

Wonder where Palmer's piece.

Palmer is always late. He usually doesn't show up to Celebration until the 2nd day because he is still working on his piece.

Has Cat Staggs print been updated yet?

Not yet- I saw in another thread that it's still pending Lucasfilm approval.

Thanks! I don't know how I missed that. So seeing as he does have his own booth, does anyone know what this ThinkGeek business is about?

Cat's holding place is no longer on the site. Any word if it has been dropped or will only be available in Orlando?

Unsure exactly, but a few days ago someone from the dark ink site said it was pending approval from Lucas Film...but on Cats facebook page she said "It will be available at celebration like all the other prints it just is t officially part of the art show."

I don't think she was selected for the art show officially this year but it sounds like she's bringing a non swco "official" print. Maybe that has something to do with it?

Looking forward to Cat and Jason Palmer's prints. Always impressive.

jimjimmyjones85 · Apr 5, 2017

ANyone else order Palmer's?

GermanBoba · Apr 6, 2017

I am thinking of getting it too. Holding out until next week to see if I can swing it.

I remember his Amidala one was gorgeous.

Hail_Lord_Helmet · Apr 14, 2017

So yesterday when I hit the floor I was ALL over the place. Couldn't find Vanderstelt's booth for a while. Had my Trevas first thing then as I was checking out the Fan tables and left it!! Luckily I ran back and it was sitting there!! W...H...E...W!!

Meriwyn · Apr 14, 2017

Wow! Huge stoke of luck there! Glad you found it! Let me know when you have my Walks in hand please!

Hail_Lord_Helmet · Apr 14, 2017

Yours is IN HAND as is another for the Scummer who contacted me! I need to pick up 2 more prints and I'm done and can roam around!

Meriwyn · Apr 14, 2017

Yay THANK YOU SO MUCH!! You're awesome! Go relax and have some fun now haha

Hail_Lord_Helmet · Apr 14, 2017

All print acquired! Now in to patch collecting and swag trading

Hail_Lord_Helmet · Apr 14, 2017

Meriwyn did Russell have the Leia Hope print already in mind before Fisher died?

drzza · Apr 14, 2017

got 2 vanderstelts today

The first submission deadline for the artists was in early Dec prior to rogue one.

Meriwyn · Apr 15, 2017

Helmet and Hutt,

I'm really not sure. Since it's titled "For Carrie" and has the "Hope" symbolism from Rogue One, I'm thinking he got permission to change his idea?

Wife really liked his Falcon painting but we didn't like it so much when we found out it was 20k

The TFA London painting is AMAZING!

Hail_Lord_Helmet · Apr 17, 2017

Fr those who I picked up prints for I'll try to get to them and have them out Thursday. I got sick yesterday but it was the normal Con crud. I hate something that DID NOT agree with me! It hurt so bad like all in my stomach.

RiddleMeThis501 · Apr 21, 2017

Picked up arianna vanderstelts framed print of rebels with ezra sabine and chopper....beautiful piece!!!

ATATDRIVER · Apr 25, 2017

Talked to Trevas at Celebration. Ended up ordering an AP of " His Vision Returns " !

DarthDerek · Apr 25, 2017

It seems like a lot of these artists these days are doing the old Dave Dorman trick of the endless AP's. Kind of makes the numbered versions pointless.
There was one artist in particular at celebration (well his booth was there) that had an unlimited supply of AP's of all of his past celebration prints.

This is part of the reason I'm not a fan of prints in general. I think most artists are ethical about this sort of thing, but the perception caused by a few who "game the system" has made me leary of buying prints unless I cinsider them absolute must haves.

there are dirtbags in every industry.

I tend to get in before they are turned. Very few good ones left.
