Thanks Ed

Ed Mendoza is a web designer where I work. Back in September, he showed me and some other coworkers a funny Reddit thread about movie titles with a letter missing.  He suggested I draw them for my Inktober project. And so I did. When I finished, he told me I should put them in a gallery and post them to Reddit. I did that too.  

I put a thank you message to the Reddit community last week, and gave away some stuff too. But Ed, he gets his own blog post, and his own picture. When my Inktober project went viral, I told Ed he'd have free art for life. He humbly asked me for a picture of Jango Fett, when I had time.

This weekend I drew this poster--Jango Fitt, Movie Title Typos style. Thanks Ed!

I got a book deal!

I am approximately this excited. 

I am approximately this excited. 

Movie Title Typos is going to a be a book! Chronicle Books is publishing it. If all goes according to plan, you'll see it on store shelves this fall. Whoo!

If you know anything about book publishing, you might be thinking, "This fall? Man, that's a pretty tight publication schedule." You would not be wrong.

I'll be pulling an all-monther (like an all-nighter, except you do it for a month...then you probably die) to get this thing wrapped up. So if my activity online drops a bit, it's because I'm working. Really hard. 

This book is going to be great though. I'm really excited about it. I can't wait to share more. And I will...as soon as I finish it. I've got a lot of really cool stuff planned leading up to release.

Till then, I'll see you around the Internet. 

Movie Title Typo stuff

/

Hello,

It’s me, Austin, the guy who drew those movie title typos. You might have found your way here from Reddit, or from a form you filled out expressing interest in purchasing some of my art in print and/or t-shirt form.

I’ll try to keep this brief:

First, THANK YOU! I had no idea the response would be this huge, or that people would want to hang up or wear my goofy drawings. The kind words and support mean so much to me. I'll do my best to get the merchandise people want up soon, at a reasonable price of course. 

When will I know when shirts or prints are available?

I don’t want to spam anyone, so if you want to follow me on Twitter @austindlight, or check this page every couple days, I’ll be posting when prints and shirts of each movie title typo become available.

Where can I buy stuff?

Right now, all merchandise will be available through my Society6 page. They make high quality stuff. I get a small cut of the merch sold through them. I might explore other vendors in the future, but to keep things simple and save time, I’m focusing on them first.

Are you adding color?

Maybe. There will be some slight changes (for the better!) to some of the pictures as I redraw them digitally.

What about my commission?

If you requested a commission, I’ll try to get back to you individually soon. Picture 31 is my real life (being a father of two is kinda time consuming), so if I can’t get to yours in time, I’m sorry.

Thanks again for your interest and support. Feel free to reach out on Twitter or via the comments below with any questions.
