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!

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.

Trickster Needs a Little Help - Indiegogo

Trickster needs your help with some funding this year. This event coincides with SDCC.

Some info on Trickster:

The object of Tr!ckster is to showcase artists from around the world, to inspire those artists to create, and to give them a outlet to show their creator-owned work to others.

What Trickster represents is important. We facilitate a haven for creator-owned works of all kinds, a place where creators can relax and interact with fans without the limitations of booths and the burdens of having to sell their own work all week long. A quieter space where the folks who make art and the people who appreciate it can come together- to discover. In order to make Tr!ckster happen in 2011 we called in favors. We caught some good breaks. We were lucky and it all worked! We could try that again this year, but it's the law of diminishing returns. We'd get the same people doing the same things and that's not what we're here for. The entire purpose of a Tr!ckster event is to champion the smaller press. The CREATOR who makes and controls their art. In order to keep our promise we have to try to avoid getting too big. Too sponsored. So, we thought we'd try this.
