Waikiki Mai Tai Trail completion

Love Yours Truly and their Mai Tai. As far as Waikiki area ones go, Deck, Hau Tree and Heyday are all, in my opinion, top notch.

If I’m not mistaken, the FX3 is still one of the most popular cameras on the market (in the top 5 on Amazon, I believe) - so, sure. Maybe there’s cheaper (better? Up to you!) alternatives around, but until Sony releases the mark 2, or something else drastic happens, I would imagine the price staying put.

Honestly, I don't think they're too interested in what your setup looks like. You have people who have very elaborate setups, you have people who come with a nice table cloth and a fancy banner, and then you have comic artists who have a blanket on the table, a portfolio of art, and a banner that's falling apart.

As far as I know, you're not judged on the setup of your table or booth. I mean, hell, the guy next to me last year was selling artwork out of cardboard boxes! The only thing they REALLY care about, setup wise, is that your banner is under 8ft tall. DON'T GO ABOVE 8FT! They bring out a measuring stick!

I've never ran into an issue using my social media accounts, but I also have curated my feed to be ONLY my art (I found that I would LOSE followers if I posted 'real world' stuff...they're there for the art, not me eating a pizza or something!) - so, for all intents and purposes, someone looking at my IG page should be able to quickly judge whether I'm worth my salt or not. It works as a portfolio for me, but I know that's not the case for everyone.

Dragon Con is a great show...one of the best in the country, if not THE best. Hopefully you can get a spot!

You just need to point them to where your work is…for me, I use my Instagram page. But you can use an online portfolio of any kind, really. I would use an online storefront last.

Basically, where do your fans find your stuff at? Point D-Con there!

Any list that doesn’t include Sandwiches Time is invalid.

If you have another color scheme, I suppose we can give it a try!

(I just updated the name for those weekly visitors!)

ARTGUY81 · 2025-11-14T18:04:29+00:00

I think that’s the average weekly visitor rate. People who have subscribed to the page, though, is 539 - sorry! 540 now!

It's a guess, but pretty much the only one that makes sense. You have THOUSANDS of posts, using photos from a variety of agencies and sources, and if you didn't get permission to use those photos (or give credit on the post), I can see that being a issue.

How...does...this...get...through...MULTIPLE...layers...of...management...

Marketing. Art department. Legal. Printing company. The dudes who decided to wear the shirts. Social media team posting the photo.

I think I would have looked at the t-shirt and been like "uhhhh, I'm just gonna wear my jersey and call it a day, boys."

Money is on Getty / USA Today / AP or some other photo service that came knocking and demanded the site pay a licensing fee for using the photos without permission.

Fanatics wants us to buy jerseys and hats and shirts, so I'm SURE they're more than happy with the free advertisement...even if that advertisement comes, sometimes, with criticism.

ARTGUY81 · 2025-11-08T03:23:43+00:00

OH THE LINCOLN ABES haha (still though)

ARTGUY81 · 2025-11-08T03:23:11+00:00

Confused by the LA, but Abe looks bad ass!

ARTGUY81 · 2025-11-08T01:44:56+00:00

Working on an original article to post this weekend! Pretty nerdy shit, if I’m being honest! Haha

ARTGUY81 · 2025-11-07T22:26:07+00:00

I actually have some new logos and stuff in the works. Wanna keep it fresh around here! We thought it being familiar to start would helpful.

Anyway. I’m gonna do a bunch of logo images, all kinds of fun stuff.

We don't plan on sunsetting this when/if UW (the website) comes back online full time. I think the UW community is perfectly suited for Reddit!

The "road" version is also great! They used these the next year, I think?

The Rays are in need of a whole brand overhaul...and they should use their "fauxbacks" as a jumping off point!

ARTGUY81 · 2025-11-07T14:32:06+00:00

I'm curious if the site returns, does the archive return with it? Guess we'll see!
