It recently came to my attention that Canadian readers were being blocked from buying merch in the BOTshop! For shame! Well, this slight has been remedied and my awesome neighbors to the north can now buy BOTmerch to their hearts content. Sorry about that, Canada! (And now’s a great time to order, ‘cuz I’m nearly caught up on a recent run of sketches, so shipping times should be minimal.)
I’m pretty sure Canada was the only region blocked, but if you have (or have had) any problems ordering from the BOTshop, please let me know in the comments below. Thanks!
I’ve gotten a few emails asking about the Angry Scarf Edition of the new JEFbot book, so I thought I’d spotlight it here to clear things up for those who have been considering getting it in time to procure the free Holiday BOTton.
First off, with the Angry Scarf Edition you’re getting a few exclusive things not available with the Regular Edition. Namely:
1) A limited edition, stamped book
I designed this stamp solely for the Angry Scarf Editions of the softcover and hardcover books. Should these editions sell out and there’s demand for another limited edition, I’ll design a different stamp to keep this one unique.
2) A signed and numbered book
The A.S. editions are limited to 111 books for the hardcover and 333 for the softcover. Sorry, I can’t reserve specific numbers for orders as the logistics would be crazy.
3) A glossy “Angry Scarf” print wraparound
This print wraparound can be used to either keep the look of your book fashionable during the fall and winter months or thrown around your favorite plush so it knows the pleasure and fear of a simulated Angry Scarf constricting their neck. It can also be used as a bookmark. The variety of uses are endless! And like the stamp, these print wraparounds are limited to this first run of Angry Scarf books. The design will change in some way should another limited edition be issued in the future.
4) A full-color sketch of a JEFbot character hand-drawn by me
In the notes for your order during checkout, let me know who you’d like the book signed to and which character you’d like me to draw in your book. Also, keep it to one character in the BOTiverse (i.e. jefbot, cel, the Cornfather, Mombot, Xinda, Abraxas, Musashi, etc.) If you don’t specify a character, I’ll draw jefbot doing something – probably standing there, excited about being in your book. The sketch will be pencilled, inked and colored with an assortment of awesome, high quality, art markers! (See images in the slideshow above.)
I think that covers the main questions. If there’s something I haven’t covered here, let me know in the comments below. Also: thanks to everyone who bought something from The BOTshop this holiday season! Now that Christmas is nearly upon us, I can’t guarantee you’ll get your merch before the 25th, but I’ll do my best to get your order out as soon as possible. Happy Holidays!
Hey, BOTpeeps! To celebrate the opening of the new BOTshop, a FREE Holiday BOTton will be included with all orders (including orders made last week) placed before December 31st, 2012! This colorful BOTton is a deluxe, 1-1/4″ pin featuring jefbot, the (pre-alien-infused) Angry Scarf, Abraxas, Yuki and (pre-alien-abducted) Musashi sharing some quality holiday merriment together! This BOTton is only available through this special offer, so get on over to the BOTshop now!
It has been a loooong time in the making, but the new BOTshop is finally here, just in time for the holiday season! So if you’re trying to find something unique for that special geek in your life, look no further: The BOTshop is practically brimming with geekiness, as demonstrated by the following merch:
I think my favorite thing in the store right now has got to be the new JEFBOT VOLUME.01_All Dysfunctions Normal books collecting the first 203 strips of the JEFbot comic! A true labor of love, these full-color books have new commentary in ‘em, sketches, inks, an introduction by me, a foreword by the director of Star Wars Saga in 60 Minutes and more! Choose between the regular softcover or hardcover editions or the signed / numbered / stamped / sketched / banded / limited editions for all the collectors out there! If you’ve been waiting for this to become available outside of comic conventions, or you know someone who would dig reading JEFbot this holiday, CLICK AWAY!
There are also a bunch of t-shirts available, and who doesn’t like tees, especially if you’re of the geeky or nerdy persuasion!? You can find everything from The Power of Scrawn and The Power of Chub (I’ll let you decide which shirt you feel is more appropriate for yourself or your giftee) to the bestselling Quality Time, All Dysfunctions Normal and The Original Energy Drink tees! All of them are made of soft, durable cotton and printed with high-quality, colorful inks. One of them (the TRON tribute, naturally) even glows in the dark! How’s that for geeky?
So get on over to The BOTshop and do some shoppin’! Not only will you find fun, creative gifts for yourself, family and friends, but you’ll be supporting your friendly neighborhood webcomic artist, too! And if you get your orders in within the next couple of weeks, I’ll be shipping nearly every day to get everything out in time for Christmas.
I think that’s it, folks! Here’s the link, and thanks for taking a look!
