Indiemana Bones ...

You may have noticed this Fall's poster artwork for Carolina Indie Fest features our beloved Indie Man character reprising a famous Harrison Ford role under the nom-de-plume Indiemana Bones. If you look closely you might see Indie Man has replaced the well known bullwhip for a microphone and cord.

Artist Kelly Schrader worked with us on this one, this is her first Indie Man encounter but we are well acquainted her talents - she brought the artwork for our first annual renaissance fair to life in spectacular fashion. If you follow her socials you'll see Kelly painting murals in Raleigh, promoting her "boobface" brand, showing up at some occasional shows but generally engaging in a variety of art ventures. Kelly will be among the vendors at Indie Fest, you should stop by and give her a tip-of-the-cap for this Fall's design which is fun and eye

catching.

Is there some larger meaning to this poster? Not necessarily. Indie Man swapping a beer for the fertility idol is a funny thought (it would take gold to pry that beer from my hands!) We actually have a 3D printed version of the idol thanks to Sanford's own Fable Forge. The intent is to use the idol for promoting Indie Fest but the front of the idol (which can't be seen on the poster) is very ... engaging. They call it a fertility idol with good reason! Anyway, we're working now on the best way to use it and spread the word - maybe you'll see an idol on an Indie Fest account near your very soon ...
