As the title of this post would imply, registration for Artist Alley is now open. We would ask that you please read through both pages of the application below before applying for a spot at Planet Comicon 2013. Any questions or concerns about any part of the process should be posted in the comments section, and you will receive an immediate response.
We are looking forward to drawing well-deserved attention to the incredibly talented individuals who populate the Planet Comicon Artist Alley every year. To this end, please include both a personal website and Twitter handle (assuming you have them), and we’ll post all of them in our GUESTS list.
As always, thank you for your participation, and we look forward to seeing you in April.

Good morning! I’m unable to find a way to contact someone in charge of the artists and any questions they may have… can someone please email me who I can get in touch with?
General questions are welcome here and more apt to be answered in a timely fashion, but you can also contact PC’s head honcho directly at chris@planetcomicon.com.
Well, this works too:) I wasn’t sure. Are you guys taking artist applications from those that don’t do comic art? Friend of mine said she’s been going for years as a visitor and told me about it the other day. I do mostly fantasy art.
We would be more than happy to welcome you into the fold. It’s a great venue where you could potentially expose thousands of new people to your work.
Alright, thanks
I usually do GenCon every summer. Just need to figure out logistics of my table set up before filling out an application, since it doesn’t seem like there’s a display wall behind each table.
Do you know how long it’ll take before they process table fees? Information was sent over about a week ago and I haven’t heard back from anyone yet.
Hey! This is Anne of PixelPortrayal. I’ve been doing AA at PCC for the past 4 years and was wondering if I’m going to be e-mailed a contract again this year or did you want me to just go ahead and mail this one in?
Anne, I will check on the status of this with Chris. In the meantime, if you’re wanting to expedite things, I’d probably go ahead and use this form. Thanks.
okay, thanks a lot.
so do we MAIL the application to the address on the application or email it to the email stated in the Addendum?
Email should be fine, Tim.
I also emailed Chris with specific questions that i had. i sent it to both his planet comicon email and mindspring. i hope to hear back soon. I can’t submit anything until i hear back.
yet i dont want to miss out on a table. already have my flight booked.
just emailed my application and info to cdj1@mindspring.com
how long until we know that we are good to go?
I’d like to know as well. Mailed all my information in earlier in the month and still haven’t heard anything except that there was a pile of applications that still needed to be sorted through.
Justin, Can you give us the set-up times for the show on Friday and Saturday?
Thanks!
I don’t have that info yet, Tyler, but I’ll make sure to post it here when it becomes available. We’re working on some other things for that Friday as well. In the meantime, I’ll get you added to the guest list. Thanks.
What’s the deadline for submission? I didn’t see that posted on here
There is no deadline for artist alley. We’ll continue to accept applications until we run out of room.
ok. Quick question. I’m going to mail my app in monday and send payment in through paypal between now and then. I have 3 members of my creative team, all talented contributors to the comics we make and sell. How do I get a 3rd badge for one of them (table comes with 2) and how can I get a profile for each of us posted?
The third ticket would need to be purchased separately. You can do that now through advanced ticketing or purchase a physical ticket later. For the profiles, you would want to send me a single image of the work for each of you (3 separates) as well as website and/or Twitter handle. Direct it to justinmcline@gmail.com, and I’ll see what I can do.
I have a couple questions.
I know each convention is different, and some allow you to sell prints of fan art as long as it is your own original art, and some don’t allow fan art of any kind. Do you allow this, as long as we are the original artist?
Also, I saw someone asked if they can email the application, and I can’t tell which email I should send it to.
And, when sending the Paypal payment, do you prefer it sent as ‘Gift’ or ‘Payment’, as I think the later has a fee attached.
Lastly, should any note be included with the Paypal payment? Or should I send a note saying which payment is mine in with the application?
At this time, you are able to sell your original art, whatever it may be. You should send your application to chris@planetcomicon.com. Include your personal information with the application so that there can be no doubt who is making the “payment.”
hello i sent in my application last weekend to the chris@planetcomiccon.com email and was wondering if this is the correct email to send it to?
You’ve added an additional letter “c.” The email address is chris@planetcomicon.com. If you’ve already purchased your spot, you can also send me your name and web address so I can put you up on the site. Thanks.
i haven’t purchased my spot yet. i just sent in my info, and was going to use paypal once i was notified about a possible spot. what should i do?
We should still be good on spots. It’s a big room. I think you’re safe to go ahead and make payment.
ok cool i just sent the fee through paypal to the email address given in the app. i’m looking forward to the show hope to hear back from you real soon. thanks.
oh and sorry about the email misspelling, however review on further it was only misspelled in my comment and not when i emailed my info.
HI! I’ve submitted my application for an artist alley table and the check was cashed. I was wondering if I could be added to the guest list and I was wondering if I would be receiving any additional information, or will I know where I’ll be setting up when I register at the event. Thanks for your time!
I’ll get you added today. You’ll get your location in the room when you register.
Hey, I sent an application through email and a payment through paypal a few weeks ago, and an email last week to verify that you received it since I haven’t been added on the site yet, so I just wanted to make sure you received it and wanted to see if I could get added on here. Thanks!
Done.
Hello. We paid for our artist alley spot on February 21st via Paypal but have yet to get any confirmation except the receipt from Paypal that you received our payment. This is our first year there, and we wondering if we will get a confirmation of the names on our guest list for the table, and when exactly we can come in and set up our table. Will we have anything mailed to us or do we pick up something on Friday? We are truly looking forward to being part of the team! Thank you! – Brian
Can you send me the creator names and corresponding websites (if any)? Email is justinmcline@gmail.com. Thanks.
Hello! I would like to be added to the Creator Guests list in the website, please. I’ve registered and paid and the check has been cashed. Thank you!!

Will you please add Kevin Keil (Keil Illustration) to the Creator Guests list? Thank you!
Done.
Is there a deadline? Can I still apply?
We didn’t start out with a deadline, but the room is filling up quickly. If you are still interested in purchasing space, I wouldn’t dawdle. There is a strong possibility we will have to cut off applications soon.
Alright, thanks! Going to fill out my application now.
