Transformers Artist Commission Information!

  By ,

With the recent news of TFCon, Emerald City Comic Con, and many other conventions canceling due to the COVID-19 crisis we know that many artists are going to be missing a good amount of income they were expecting to earn from these shows. We want to help. We posted on Twitter and Facebook asking for commission information from artists going to these shows so we can spread the word and hopefully make up some of that loss. If you know any artist that was going to these or any other conventions that is affected, please ask them to send us their commission information and we’ll update this post, talk about it on the podcast, and reblog on social media if they tag us. Lets show everyone how awesome the Transformers community can be!
