Andy! We need to have a face to face dinner at the next con we're at together. 2027 maybe? :)

I read something about artist alley being limited to 5 items for sale and exhibitors 10 items for comicon@home
Jason Wood
1:11
Anyone else using OA as stress therapy? I've bought...wait for it, more than 100 pieces this year.
Felix Lu
1:11
WOW! You win!
Dan T
1:11
@Jason - Yep.  I think I've got at least 15 commission orders placed right now.
Victor B.

Hey Felix and all!
Felix Lu
1:11
Hey Victor!
Malvin
1:11
100 is a lot, I have exceeded that some years. This year I won't even after buying a complete issue
Jason Wood
1:12
Well done, Dan
Tim D

I'm actually playing it wary and paying off some debt, also DWJ WW:DE ate a lot of my budget this year lol.
Victor B.
1:12
@Jason Wood yes...very much so!
Jason Wood
1:12
Which issue did you buy, Malvin?
Andrew MacLean
1:12
@Tim OH! You got the Gorgon piece? That was one of my favorites. I enjoyed it enough (and Clash of the Titans) that AT LEAST one Gorgon, maybe three, will show up in HL 14. Thanks for grabbing that piece!
Lambo

i look away for a min and we get another celeb, jason wood!  @jason wood, yeah, it really was crazy trying to explain to people months ago how bad things were
Andy Robbins
1:12
Jason - bought 100, but how many have you bought and received?
Andrew MacLean
1:12
Goddamn 100 is a lot!
Matt Todd
1:12
@Jason Wood I am up to thirty which is A LOT for me and I have an additional 10  pieces in the works.
Jason K
1:12
@jason I've seen your massive support of artists. It's fantastic
Jason Wood
1:12
Hey Andrew, how are things?
You're too kind, Lam
Dan T
1:12
Actually, I've got over 20 commissions I'm waiting on.
Jason Wood
1:13
@Andy ...I've received about 65 of them so far
Morgan

@jason wood I’ve been holding off for a couple of big books coming out later this year. Ironically both artists have been in and out of the chat today.
Jason Wood
1:13
I don't have a "list" like you do Andy where you rank your pieces, but I have a very detailed Excel worksheet that maps all points of contact, when it was ordered, when I reached out, what they said about timelines, etc...
Andy Robbins
1:13
Pretty good - I saw you plea on twitter for artists to not flake on these commissions that were done for a good cause
Reba
1:13
@andrew maclean what's that you say about Clash of the Titans? Might that be my commision? Lol!
Andrew MacLean
1:13
@Jason Good dude! Wish we were out in the wilderness but this is a decent second. How you been? Apart from the heavy collecting haha.
Jason Wood
1:14
@andy yes, at that time I had 35 pieces out of about 40 ordered. It's snowballed from there but lots are coming home to daddy lol
Andy Robbins
1:14
Jason - all it takes is one more teenie tiny col on that gigantic spreadsheet
But I have to say I've debated deleting my rankings
Jason Wood
1:15
@andrew doing OK. Fortunate that my job was never impaired and my whole firm was able to work at home without an issue. I've found that it's infinitely easier to act rationally and in your health's best interests when paying bills isn't a worry.
Felix Lu
1:15
@Jason...yes, feel for those who have no choice. The dummies who are going to bars/beaches/parties? Screw them.
Andy Robbins
1:16
Can't quite bring myself to do it, though.  Something about not being able to throw away data
Andrew MacLean
1:16
@Reba YES! And thank you for requesting it. Clash (and Harryhausen) is a huge influence! Can't wait to start your piece.
Jason Wood
1:16
I do miss conventions. Desperately. Was pretty morbidly depressed over Father's Day weekend as it would've been Heroes Con. But small price to pay for the greater good.
Wait...someone requested Clash of the Titans from your @andrew? That's brilliant

@jasonwood “I've found that it's infinitely easier to act rationally and in your health's best interests when paying bills isn't a worry.”  Isn’t that the truth!

Good morning/afternoon/evening all.
