The Post It Project

My friend Andy Ristaino is the sole proprietor of his "The Post It Project", which is a way cool blog showcasing post it note art on a daily basis. I drew this little number for him at Wondercon. Check out his site for more crazyness.

And here's a random selection of some of the commissions I took during Wondercon.

  5. Great stuff Bill. You certainly leave nothing on the table with your con commission sketches.

    Question for you - any idea when you think you'll have the remaining Belle's with remark sketches in them up for sale?

    Another question (sorry) - Any plans to be at Wizard World Chicago this year?

  6. Kevin,
    Yeah, my nerves used to get the best of me too. I know the feeling. The constant unrelenting pressure of being a story artist managed to wipe that away in recent years.

    Jeremy,
    As for the remaining limited edition Belle du Jours, I should have them done pretty soon. As I'm printing all of the bookplates in a new book for comicon, I'll need them all soon to be able to go to press. So I'm thinking in the next Month or two they sould be done.
    As far as Wizard con, I have no plans. The next conventions I'm attending is Calgary Expo and Super Con in San Jose.

  8. Bill,

    How many more bookplate versions of Belle do you have left to do (or better, how many will be available?) I couldn't get to SDCC, so I missed out the first time.

    Thanks!
    Rich

  10. Hi Bill, Do you ever do commissions outside of conventions? I love your work, but I can't get to as many shows as I'd like these days.

  25. Thanks for the positive comments everybody.

    Rich,
    I have 30 bookplate editions of Belle du Jour left. They'll be available soonish.

    Rob and Bannister,
    I do do commissions, but I'm way too busy at the moment. As far as cost it really depends on how involved the piece is.

    Silvana,
    Of course you may link to my blog. Be my guest.

    -Bill

  26. Wow. What a cool pose she's in blowing the smoke away from the gun. I have a question if you have time to answer. I see you have a book and I was wondering if you publish it yourself and if you do where did you go to find out how?

    Beyond that I'm inspired by your girl artwork. Very cool. I shall now go and draw some myself!
