Epic Trixie Poster to Benefit BroNYCon

As some of you may have probably figured, a brony convention happens over in New York city every few months, which is arguably the easiest place for massive amounts of people to gather at.  The big problem faced with something of this scale is cost.   Feeding/Providing chairs for 300+ people is expensive, and as the event continues to grow to even larger numbers the amount of funds needed will also increase.  So far, Purple Tinker has payed for pretty much everything out of pocket, but she needs help.

I'll let her copy paste explain the rest after the break! 


After being stalled for months, I have finally created this snazzy new poster of the one and only The Great & Powerful Trixie! A preview of this poster can be seen above (or here on Deviant Art), and is, of course, FAR lower resolution than the actual print-ready version.
It is essentially a parody or pastiche of an old Hoofdini poster, as seen here.

Trixie, of course, takes her inspiration from only the greatest and most powerful magicians!

I will ultimately be releasing an entire font based off of the work I did on this poster. I had to recreate hoofwritten lettering from the late 1800s essentially from scratch. It was fun, though!

I am selling high-quality 11x14 poster prints to benefit BroNYCon. Running all these events costs an awful lot of money, much of which comes out of my pocket. Just now, I have to go down to the store to buy a $400 item out of pocket! It hurts.

So, if you want one, Paypal $13 my way ($10 for the poster, plus $3 for shipping and the shipping tube) to prpltnkr@gmail.com. Use the subject 'TRIXIE POSTERS'. (Add $10 for each additional poster, up to 5 per tube.)

I'd be happy to donate, even though I'm not going to the next one! That is, I would, if Paypal agreed with my information.

Bombedrumbum said...

And yes, it would be nice to have one of these EPIC posters!! Regardless of the cost!! If only Hasbro would pick up in the fact that if something epic is made, we will buy it!!!!

Hat said...

It certainly is snazzy

Bombedrumbum said...

Wait, wait, WAIT YOU'RE RELEASING THAT FONT?!?! SO MUCH WANT

wackyteen said...

I imagine Seth wants a humongous version of this.

Hivemind said...

Nice! I'll buy a poster AND donate! :)

T'laren said...

I saw this pop up earlier via my e-mail, and I'll be giving her $20 in person come the October meetup, just for one of these, and a little gravy for her.

Lt_Unrealistic said...

As many jokes as i can see being made about Seth buying a crap ton of posters, i can only see him getting one for his Trixie shrine.

GameBuddy said...

I'll tuck it away as a Christmas present for my baby sis.

...If only because I have a 20x30 version of the Comicon vector on my wall.

eaglehooves said...

How long does this run for? I'm thinking of getting one to put up next to my 'autographed' 5x7 of Trixie, but am really trying to avoid spending anything till my paycheck comes through.

Mic The Microphone said...

I WILL TOTALLY BUY ONE OF THESE. I NEED MORE PONIES IN MY LIFE.

David said...

That font is so sexy. I really shouldn't spend money on this... Oh ponies... I can't quit you. :3

Octavia said...

It's a pretty spiffy-looking poster. I like it.

Bobbyzero said...

13 bucks? I couldn't care less about a con 6000 miles away from me, I just want the poster. Payment sent.

Harwick said...

It is an epic poster... I think they'll sell well!

And NY Bronies should totally mingle with the Occupy Wallstreet crowd. Get 'em to adopt Rarity, small business owner and spirit of generosity as their mascot. Ponies would really liven up those protest signs.

Irghen said...

I really want a couple but I have no idea if you could ship it to Mexico and how much extra would I have to send you.

I hope someone can help me out figure this out so I can get this framed :)

SgtGarand said...

Done, and done. Wish I could attend one of these, but at least I could help. Can't wait to put the poster up on the wall.

Purple Tinker said...

@Irghen Hi! I'd ship to Mexico. Shipping would be $12. :) I'm actually getting a good number of international poster orders. Thank you all for sending in your orders; I'm gonna have to run off another batch of posters Monday at this rate!! :) You guys are awesome.

Fabrazio said...

do you ship to europe?

Senn555 said...

Oh yes, I'm buying one of these... but I'm in Canada. How much is shipping to Canada?

Kinrah said...

I'd also like to know how much the shipping is, to the UK.

ShadowTani said...

It's not fair having you host all these BroNYCon's for everypony and run into the red...

I hope everypony that plans to attend give their support, it's more beneficial for future Con's if Tinker where to run into the green instead. :3

King9 said...

Great poster! *Supports*

Delta Pangaea said...

Right, so uh, I would totally buy this.

Like, first thing I'd ever buy over the net that was something other than data.

But then in my unsurety, (word? Idunno) I'm just wondering...

Shipping to Australia would be how much, and what do we include in the email? Like, address to send it to or...?

Yoshi said...

Ok... So this is an instant buy (two to be exact), but I'm unfamiliar with the inner workings of paypal. So could somebody post specifics on how to go about ordering? Would be very much appreciated!

Xplayer said...

Supporting Bronies + Get The Great and Powerful Trixie in return = sold!

Good luck with BroNY con.

MisterLolrus said...

I can't believe my username is on EQD! Squee! Thank you so much Tinker! <3

Purple Tinker said...

@Delta Pangaea Shipping to Oz would be $14 USD. :)

Purple Tinker said...

@Yoshi How to buy: Log into Paypal. Click 'Send Money'. Enter my email address, prpltnkr (AT) gmail (DOT) com as the destination address. (Change the '(AT)' to an actual @ and the '(DOT)' to an actual period).

Resa said...

I got one at NYCC and I love it :D O was cosplaying as Fluttershy :3 I don't live in the area so I doubt I could make it to a con though :/ I might, you never know! :D

King9 said...

I never got mine!!

Xplayer said...

Got my poster today, just wanted to express my thanks. :)

Purple Tinker said...
