APE 2013

APE 2013 took place this weekend at the Concourse Exhibition Center in San Francisco, CA. This is the last year that APE will be at the Concourse. The Concourse has been home to APE for 10 years. Next year APE will move back to the Fort Mason Center on October 4-5, 2014.

This year is APE's 20th Anniversary! This year there was over 400 exhibitors in attendance such as Super7, Baby Tattoo Books, SLG etc... APE specializes in Indie Comic Publishers, Indie Artists, DIY Creators etc... which makes them all the focus where they would usually get lost or looked over at bigger shows such as SDCC.

Here's some of the stuff we picked up!

Picked up a cool Halloween themed Simpsons print/poster from Chris Weiermiller who is a local artist/illustrator from SF, CA. Also picked up a cool Mewwwwwni T-Shirt from Ben Seto. Also picked up a few Beavers from Jeff Pidgeon.

The last pickup was a very cool resin Finger Crab by The Chung! aka David Chung. Really love the packaging which is a minature Bamboo type steamer. This version is limited to 10 pieces and was an APE Exclusive.

As we exited APE, Geico hired some planes to post some advertising in the sky over the area around the Concourse. We had a great time as usual checking out all the artwork, comics, toys etc... Farewell Concourse Exhibition Center! See you next year at the Fort Mason Center!

TR!CKST3R Symposia 2: Art in the 3rd Dimension: Design, Manufacture, and Distribution of Your Creator-Owned Toy

TR!CKST3R will be back during SDCC this year at the Tavern Bowl. This year they will have various Symposia during the course of SDCC. The ones that stand out to us is Symposia 2: Art in the 3rd Dimension: Design, Manufacture & Distribution of Your Creator-Owned Toy. Symposia 2 info below:

Maybe you’re a toy fanatic wanting to take the next logical step, or maybe you have a comic character that you’d like to share with your fans in a new way. You’ve heard of plenty of artists who produce their own toys. But you don’t have their contacts – where do you begin? 

Turning your artwork into a three-dimensional, manufactured figure is a lengthy but rewarding process. Learn from experience how to work with sculptors, designers, and prototype developers to develop a toy of your very own. Through the process, you’ll think of your character in completely different ways as you wrestle with the limits of manufacturing technologies, the spectrum of production methods, factory minimums, and your own finances. It’s challenging, but it is possible. Meet our panel of toymakers and find out how close you are to… the third dimension!

Join a cadre of today’s top storytellers in this unique 2-hour discussion workshop designed to bolster the craft of creating unique characters from the ground up.
Participating storytellers include JEFF PIDGEON (Happy Beaver, TR!CKSTER FOX, Pidgeon Toys), BRIAN FLYNN (Hybrid Design, Super7), DAVE PRESSLER (Robot and Monster), KLIM KOZINEVICH (Bigshot Toyworks), DOV KELEMER (DKE Toys), SCOTT MORSE (Strange Science Fantasy), and more to be announced shortly!

FRIDAY, July 19, 2013
10:00 AM -12:00 PM

Each Symposia will cost $40. Limited to 25. You can buy your tickets HERE. They also just added a Deluxe Ticket where you will also receive an exclusive TR!CKST3R Artic Fox Toy. This ticket will cost you $80. Unfortunately there is also an added service fee charged to the tickets by the ticket company they are using.

Check out the Tr!ckst3r website for all their events during SDCC.

RECAP: APE 2012

APE aka Alternative Press Expo was held this past weekend at The Concourse in San Francisco. APE showcases the small indie companies and artists. Crunched for time, we weren't able to spend too much time at APE this year but walking around the show there were so many talented artists and companies and APE has grown even bigger this year with workshops and panels held upstairs where in previous years were held in the same general area as the exhibitor hall.  

Some pics from the show below:

APE on Sunday - Just opened so not too busy yet.

Jeff Pigeon's Get Lucky Beavers & Kozik Anarchy Beaver

APE score!

Picked up a few things at APE which included a stop at Super7's Booth for their Giants Baseball Boy, Mongolion & Super Mummy Boy T-shirt. Also couldn't resist picking up Jeff Pidgeon's Get Lucky Beavers. Wish this weekend wasn't so packed and busy or we would've stayed longer and take our time checking out everyone's work. See you next year!!!
