“The biggest challenge for a gig poster artists is getting a tour poster where you have to put 50 dates, 30 dates, or a festival poster where you have to put 100 bands names… without having to make a giant block at the bottom.” – Rob Jones
“Once you’re in there [MondoCon], you have access to this whole entire two venue’s worth of artists that are selling things you can’t find anywhere else on the planet.” – Mo Shafeek
