Most of you have already seen this soooo..... The Fairy Kitten is out of the bag! I am beyond thrilled to share that I am collaborating on a painting and exclusive pin for MegaCon with Jasmine Becket-Griffith!! Pins! I will also have my own MegaCon Exclusive Pin and Open Edition Variant Pin just like I did for Pensacon in February. I will be posting more info about all of this soon.
** All of this important info below is from Jasmine's post in her words.**
Work in Progress shot of a very unique and special painting that will be debuting at MegaCon this year, and will also be one of the THREE designs for the MegaCon Exclusive pins we'll be giving away!
"Orange Blossoms" is a collaboration between myself and artist Carrie Hawks (aka TigerPixie - she's up here - Carrie Hawks ). The idea for this actually began incubating almost fifteen years ago, we've been friends and had been discussing a collaboration for quite awhile and finally we were both able to find the time to get this started!
I've finished my part of the painting, and now I've mailed it off to Pensacola (where Carrie lives) where she will paint the other half (one of her kitties). Playing on the Florida/Orange theme (since we're both Florida girls!) I've set the piece in a classic "old Florida" landscape, replete with juicy oranges & orange blossoms. The big grey blank area to your left next to the fairy is where Carrie's kitty will be =)
We'll be debuting the original painting this year at MegaCon here in Orlando since we'll each have an art booth there! MegaCon is May 24-27 at the Orange County Convention Center (notice a theme here?) - details about the event are here:
It's a 14x11" original acrylic painting on panel, will be beautifully framed, and priced around the $3800 mark. Interested in purchasing the original painting? Email me at JasmineToad@aol.com with the subject line ORANGE BLOSSOMS ORIGINAL. We'll be taking down collector names in the order in which they are received. Please note - as this painting is a MegaCon debut, we do have to give preference to collectors attending the convention in person. If we still have the original painting available at the end of the show however we can then offer it via email worldwide, so even if you aren't able to attend - please email me and let me know you are interested and we'll contact you after the show!
This is also a very special painting for another reason - we are going to do a MegaCon Exclusive pin based on the design! Carrie creates enamel pins of the same size/format as my Strangeling pins, so we are collaborating on a special enamel pin as part of our Strangeling Pins lineup. On FRIDAY we'll have 100 to giveaway at MegaCon - 50 will be given away at my booth (free with any purchase) and 50 will be given away at Carrie's art booth (free with any purchase there). This might be a good way too to handle some of the initial rush/crowd control, since half will be at one booth and half at the other. We'll have a few leftover pins (hopefully) to give away randomly to our Patreon Pin Collectors too after the event =)
I will have two other MegaCon Exclusive Strangeling Pins too, stay tuned for announcements about it! A new pin each day, but with Thursday/Sunday sharing a design (since a lot of folks have to either miss Thursday or Friday, that way you can still get that design).
We will have prints & canvases of our "Orange Blossoms" painting at both my booth & at Carrie's booth at MegaCon. You're welcome to get one at the show and get us BOTH to sign your print - that should be extra special! After the show we'll each have the prints & canvases up on both of our respective websites available for purchase as well.
Enjoy your sneak peek & all the news!
