• Artist Alley at Big Lick Comic Con welcomes exhibitors showcasing original artwork as well as fan art and fan crafts inspired by comics, anime, manga, and pop culture series. We define “fan art and fan crafts” as original creations based on licensed, copyrighted characters and materials. Artist exhibitor spaces are for those selling sketches, paintings, commissions or prints as done by the person at the exhibitor space.
• Reproducing official artwork is strictly prohibited. You may not sell items featuring official poster art, key art, screenshots, logos, or any materials you did not create yourself. This includes but is not limited to buttons, pins, bags, keychains, and prints featuring official artwork.
• Mass-produced fan art and fan crafts are not permitted. While artists are allowed to sell items like buttons, pins, bookmarks, keychains, and apparel, they must be produced in limited quantities. Mass production may be considered bootleg merchandise and is subject to removal.
• Selling artwork that copies or modifies another artist’s work is not allowed. This includes reproducing art from sites like DeviantArt, tracing, copying, or applying Photoshop filters to someone else’s work. Altering or modifying an existing piece does not make it an original creation.
