How to Set Up Your Art Display at Comicon! 

Yep, I have a new version of this video with my new updated setup that you can see I post regularly on my socials. No bags for no glare.

Oh my gosh… that means a lot, you don’t know how badly I needed to hear that! Thank you so much I appreciate it! Btw, I’m working on an updated version of this setup too! New video soon!

@@JetFalco can't wait to see it! And hopefully one day I might see you at a con and thank you again in person! Your art is amazing too btw! Wishing you the best and very happy I stumbled on your channel and subscribed!

Your first convention! Congrats! I'm so happy I could help! I wish you the best at your show!

Another easy way is to simply forego the bags and use gaffer or packaging tape on the back of the prints. That's what I've been doing lately, it's harder to rearrange but it looks better with no glare.

I try to have at least 20% original stuff.

Thanks for the kind words! :) This is my old way of doing it from 2019-2021. My new method is the same but I don't use the plastic sheet protectors. I just tape directly to the back of the display prints and now there's no glare and it looks a lot more professional. I'm thinking about making a newer video showcasing the differences between the two setup styles.

That's so wonderful! I actually have a newer way of displaying prints that is a bit different, but this method is still great if you want to preserve the life of the display. I hope your show goes super well! Which convention is it?

@@JetFalco it’s a local one in Wisconsin called Anime Milwaukee !

@@GottyJ Oh yeah, I've heard great things about that one! Some of my artist friends will be there. Best of luck to you!

11 x 17. Thanks for watching! A newer version of this video is coming soon!

@@JetFalco thanks!

Hey, thanks so much! :D I print all of them in my own home studio with a Canon Pixma Pro-100.

Thank you so much! This was my previous setup, for when showrooms and outdoor shows were humid, the plastic sheet protectors helped keep that humidity out and helped prevent any further damage to the display copies. I have since moved to trying without sheet protectors and using different clamp rings - simply to try an option without glare, but I still revisit this setup from time to time. It is super useful for when you want to move prints around easily and modify the display order. I am so happy you like it! :D The proper name for the clips, I believe are "Nylon Spring Clamps" and you can find them at any hardware store. 4.5 inch, I believe, but don't take my word on that. Amazon also sells them in various sizes, but since every display bar is different in diameter, you may want to stop by a local tool store and find the right size for your display. They are usually really cheap per unit, and some stores have bundled options if you're looking to save a bit more money. Thanks again for watching my video and commenting! :D That means a lot!

@@JetFalco right on! Thanks for the info!

I used this one when I sold 13”x19” prints and the pages were really well made, didn’t have too much glare. The removable pages make it easy when adjusting the order of prints. www.amazon.com/Art-Portfolio-Multi-Ring-Refillable-Binder/dp/B000RP55RG?pd_rd_w=CLSWR&content-id=amzn1.sym.1db61dc1-18bd-4e84-ade3-9872a4852ad6&pf_rd_p=1db61dc1-18bd-4e84-ade3-9872a4852ad6&pf_rd_r=6AYN0SGRTN7ABYACDES4&pd_rd_wg=OaCkq&pd_rd_r=c227a142-e49e-4916-816c-c2121d46c763&pd_rd_i=B000RP55RG&psc=1&ref_=pd_bas_bia_rpt_ba_s_4_sc

Thanks for watching! 😄 This is actually my old setup, now I just use tape directly behind the prints without sheet protectors. I used to do larger prints for display, but that confused customers, so I just do the same 11”x17” size all around. Having a display portfolio propped up in the front of your table helps for anyone who wants to see them all up close!

@@JetFalco Hey, I'm going to my first convention in a few weeks and I tried the setup with the sheet protectors but I didn't like how much glare it had. When you tape the prints directly, are you able to reorder your display prints without damaging them? I feel like you'd have to use scissors to cut the tape if you wanted to change the arrangement. Also, do you use a binder clip directly on the top print? Thanks man.

@@suchaaverygoodartist I got sick of the glare a while back too and just tape the back of the print. They do get damaged a bit and have a certain shelf life before the prints have been too damaged to look decent and have to replace with another expendable display print. I don’t use clips anymore, I use a modded version of this www.homedepot.com/p/Home-Decorators-Collection-Oil-Rubbed-Bronze-Steel-Curtain-Rings-with-Clips-Set-of-7-DHU-ORB888002/303693345

I wish I could make it out that way! For now, I am only able to plan my travel around 3-4 hour drives from my town, but if I get enough support I’ll be hopefully able to go full-time and expand my tour radius out that far! Soon hopefully 🤞
