Preparing for GeekUP 2023!

Hey there! Just wanted to give a shout out that we’re preparing for Geek UP 2023!

If you’re going to be in the Houghton, Michigan area on September 9th, come check out some awesome vendors, a fun cosplay contest, and three celebrity guests (Hint… if you like Sonic the Hedgehog or Legend of Zelda go peek at the link above for more info on the voice actors who are going to be there!).

Plus, it’s a charity event, and this year is benefiting Unite Mental Health and Wellness. πŸ™‚

Isaac and I plan to be there as well with our books and art (and stickers!), and we’ll have Starless Night available in paperback for the first time!

Come stop by our booth, and don’t miss our new interactive element this year… find out what kind of Wishing Blade Universe magic you would have! (Let’s just say you’ll get to choose a ribbon, place it in our handy little “revealing light” box to see what color it glows, and then match that to one of the characters who uses the same kind of ribbon magic. We’ve been enjoying the arts and crafts element a bit too much this year.) πŸ˜‰

Overall, we’re really looking forward to the event, and I’m happy to report that we actually have almost everything ready to go this time (no staying up until 3am on Friday night frantically trying to finish organizing stuff).

Meanwhile, here’s a sneak peek of the stickers we’re going to have available (if you haven’t seen them debut at Black Ice Comics and Books).

Looking forward to seeing everybody there. 😁

(( P.S. I know I’m overdue on the monthly status report for Infinitas Publishing… by a couple months now. Hopefully I’ll get that written up after the event as well. And send out a couple of newsletters. All is well! Just been trying to get everything organized. πŸ˜ƒ ))

Behind the Scenes – In the Camp

This is a cover for Melange Books‘Β young adult imprint. For this cover, the author wanted a symbol rather than a scene, and in their art form they mentioned that their story revolves around elves using nature to reclaim the modern human cities after a devastating war. Based on that, and since the author said that there was a phone that played a large role in the story, I tinkered with the idea of having an old, cracked phone on the cover.

Vines partially cover the phone (showing nature beginning to take over again), and I added the “reflection” in the phone’s screen to show more of the setting (a swampy area). To give the cover a dystopian feel, I used a couple grungy concrete textures in addition to the concrete background. For theΒ text, I tried a bolder font to keep with the genre, and added a more “computery” text to the phone for the series title.

This is the result:
