We asked all the artists in ECCC Artist Alley for their commission info, so you can hire them to draw the centerpiece of your living room even easier!

I am working on a story gathering the feelings from DC Comics employees about the recent news about the ownership changes coming to WBD.

If you are a current DC staffer open to talking (even if not for attribution), DM me here, or at chris.arrant@reedpop.com or chris.arrant@gmail.com.

One of my favorite parts of ComicsPRO was our press breakfast, as @comixace.bsky.social, @explodingarrow.bsky.social, @chrisarrant.bsky.social, @nearmintcon.bsky.social, @azalben.bsky.social and I got to together to talk shop over a meal. I learned a lot from that crew! It’s a great squad!

I found an amazing video expert on social last year, and now I'm looking to find another to add to the Popverse team. I'm looking to hire a freelance video producer based in the NYC area to edit, subtitle, and finish social media-friendly video clips from panels, studio interviews, and more. (1/??)

Also tell me the city you're based in. Please follow these instructions; your ability to follow these instructions helps me know if you can follow instructions should we work together.

I'm looking to get someone started in this by February 2026. (6/6)

To apply to this, email me at chris.arrant@reedpop.com with subject line 'Popverse video clip team submission'. In that email, show me 3 examples of things like this you have done in the past, as well as a realistic idea of your availability for this kind of freelance work. (5/??)

- Deadline oriented
- Familiar with pop culture

We're looking for someone who is local to NYC, so that they can also be open to working with us in-person at BookCon, New York Comic Con, and other NY-area events. If you apply to this and you're not local to NYC, please don't. (4/??)

16.01.2026 16:57 β€” πŸ‘ 2    πŸ” 2    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

We need someone with:
- demonstrable professional experience in doing this previously
- A reliable communicator, not just technically (email, Slack) but also in giving realistic projections on time, deadlines, and even telling us of delays (they do happen! Key is telling us!)
(3/??)

Realistically, this is about 20 hours of work per month, with potentially more surrounding and during conventions. You'd be working with myself and Popverse's video lead Ashley V. Robinson, and other freelance video people. (2/??)
