I still get a kick from hunting down obscure artist merch, and with Derpixon it’s a bit of a treasure hunt. Over the years I’ve noticed that there are indeed official prints and merchandise tied to the artist — but they aren’t always sitting comfortably on big-name storefronts. The most reliable official releases tend to show up through direct channels: posts on the artist’s social profile that link to a shop, limited drops for patrons, or special runs sold at conventions. These prints are often signed or numbered, and they usually come with clear provenance in the product description or the announcement post.
From a collector’s perspective, the reasons for the limited storefront presence make sense. Because a lot of the artist’s work is mature-themed, mainstream merch platforms that have stricter content rules can be a no-go. That pushes the artist to use direct-sale options like a shop on their site, a Patreon-only print drop, or a private store where buyers confirm age and get exclusive items. I’ve seen folks remark about postcard sets, art prints, and sticker sheets that were explicitly labeled as ‘‘official’’ by the creator — the packaging, the signature, and the announcement thread are usually the giveaways.
If you’re hunting for something authentic, bookmark the artist’s official profiles and look for shop links in pinned posts. Watch for limited-edition notes, signed copies, or patron-only access. Also be wary of unauthorized prints on mass marketplaces — if the listing looks like a knockoff or the seller can’t prove a link to the artist, pass. Personally, I love the thrill of getting a legit signed print; it feels like owning a tiny piece of the creative process.

I’ve been collecting signed books for years, and 'xkcd' is one of those gems that’s a bit tricky to find signed. Your best bet is to check the author’s official website or social media for announcements about signings or limited editions. Sometimes, Randall Munroe does signings at comic conventions or book festivals, so keeping an eye on events like Comic-Con or BookExpo could pay off. Online retailers like AbeBooks or eBay occasionally have signed copies, but be cautious of authenticity. I once snagged a signed 'xkcd' copy from a local indie bookstore that had hosted a signing event—always worth asking around!

Hunting down legit Psylocke prints has turned into a small obsession of mine — there’s something delicious about finding a high-quality, licensed print and knowing it’s authentic. The first place I always check is Marvel’s official shop (look for shop.marvel.com or the Marvel section on shopdisney.com). They periodically offer posters, prints, and framed art that are officially licensed, and when Marvel runs variant-cover promotions or anniversary series they sometimes release limited prints featuring characters from 'X-Men'. Those prints usually come with clear branding and sometimes a certificate of authenticity.
Beyond Marvel’s storefront, I keep an eye on a few licensed art publishers and galleries. Mondo (mondoshop.com) often collaborates with big publishers for limited-edition posters and giclée prints — their Marvel drops sell out fast but are top-notch in print quality. Sideshow Collectibles (sideshow.com) is another trusted spot for officially licensed art pieces, prints, and higher-end editions tied to Marvel properties. Finally, don’t forget to follow the original artists: many comic artists or cover painters sell signed, limited prints through their own official webstores or during convention exclusives. When in doubt, verify the Marvel/Disney licensing info and COA so you’re not buying a fan-made print passed off as official. Personally, I love the thrill of catching a limited run — they become conversation pieces on my wall.

Finding a physical copy of 'What If?' by Randall Munroe has become a bit of a treasure hunt for me. It's exciting! First off, your best bet for a new copy is major online retailers like Amazon or Barnes & Noble. They usually have it in stock, plus you might find some great deals or bundles there. I've scored a few other interesting reads while browsing those sites, too. Also, check out your local bookstore. If they don't have it, many can order it for you, which is pretty cool! I love the smell of new books and the thrill of getting them firsthand. Oh, and don't overlook used bookstores! Sometimes they have hidden gems, and you might find a gently-used copy at a great discount. It’s honestly a win-win since you’re supporting local businesses and possibly saving some cash! Plus, the adventure of book hunting? Totally worth it.
I've also seen 'What If?' pop up at conventions or comic shops, especially those dedicated to indie comics and self-publishing. If you ever attend an event like that, keep your eyes peeled! You never know what you'll find. The book's humor is just brilliant, and it’s such a fun mix of science and curiosity, so owning it is totally essential for anyone who enjoys geeky humor and insightful answers to life's weirdest questions.

If you're hunting official 'Mangastic' merchandise and prints, start with the obvious place: the official 'Mangastic' webstore. Their shop usually lists current runs, special edition prints, and preorders. I always check the product descriptions for wording like "limited edition," print run numbers, or a certificate of authenticity — those little details separate official releases from knockoffs. You can also follow the official social accounts (Twitter/X, Instagram) because they post restock notices and collab announcements. Signing up for their newsletter is worth it if you want early access to drops.
Beyond the direct shop, look to reputable licensed retailers: stores like Crunchyroll Store, Right Stuf, and major chains that work with publishers often stock true official merch. For prints and artbooks, Japanese-focused stores like Kinokuniya or 'BookWalker' sometimes carry exclusive editions. If you prefer buying in person, conventions — especially the artist alley and publisher booths — are gold: you can often buy prints straight from the source or pick up limited convention-exclusive items. Personally, I've snagged a numbered 'Mangastic' print at a con and still love how the packaging and holo-sticker made it feel special.

I get why this question pops up so much — 'Red Dead Redemption 2' has such rich characters and settings that it practically begs to be reimagined. From a practical standpoint, selling prints or merchandise featuring characters, logos, or distinctive art from 'Red Dead Redemption 2' is risky without permission. The game and its characters are owned by Rockstar/Take-Two, and reproducing those elements for commercial gain is typically considered a derivative work; that opens the door to copyright and trademark claims.
If you’re making adult-themed pieces, you also need to be extra careful about who the characters are meant to represent and whether platform rules (Etsy, Redbubble, Shopify, etc.) will allow explicit content. Even if the artwork is technically transformative, platforms respond to takedown notices and can remove listings quickly. I’ve seen creators lose shops or have items delisted overnight because of a rights complaint.
My practical take: treat it like a partnership you don’t have. If you want to sell widely and safely, either seek a license (rare and costly), lean into entirely original characters inspired by the Western aesthetic of 'Red Dead Redemption 2', or sell strictly limited, low-profile commissions while knowing the legal risk. Personally I’d opt for original takes — you keep creative freedom and avoid sleepless nights over cease-and-desists.

'xkcd: volume 0' holds a special place on my shelf. The paperback version is absolutely available, though it might take some hunting depending on where you live. I snagged mine from a local indie bookstore that specializes in geek culture—sometimes smaller shops have hidden gems like this when bigger retailers run out.
If you’re ordering online, sites like Amazon usually have it in stock, but I’d also check out used book platforms or even Randall Munroe’s official store for signed copies. The tactile feel of the paperback adds to the charm, especially with how the comics play with margins and footnotes. It’s one of those books where the physical format enhances the humor.

I remember picking up the book version the moment it hit shelves. The publisher is Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, and they've done a fantastic job bringing the webcomic's unique blend of humor, science, and stick-figure charm into print. The book captures the essence of the online comics perfectly, with some exclusive content that made it a must-have for fans. I love how the publisher maintained the minimalist aesthetic while making it feel special for readers who prefer physical copies. It’s one of those books that sits proudly on my shelf, and I often flip through it when I need a quick laugh or a thoughtful moment.

Oh man, hunting down official mezzmiz merch is one of those tiny quests that feels like treasure-hunting — I love it. The first place I always check is the artist's own online shop. Most creators keep a dedicated store on their website or use platforms like Shopify, Big Cartel, or Etsy for physical prints and merch. Look for a 'store' or 'shop' link in their profile on Instagram or X; creators usually pin links there or use a Linktree-style bio. If mezzmiz runs a Patreon or Ko-fi, those pages sometimes have exclusive prints or early drops reserved for patrons.
Conventions are another big win: if mezzmiz appears at cons, they often bring signed prints, zines, stickers, and limited-run merch. I try to follow event announcements closely because some of my favorite pieces were one-day con exclusives. For digital or on-demand items, check print-on-demand partners the artist mentions — Society6, Redbubble, or Printful are common, but only buy from those if the artist explicitly links them as official. Lastly, if you're ever unsure, DM the artist politely to ask where to buy official items. They usually appreciate support and will point you straight to legit shops, restock updates, or upcoming drops.

I’ve been a long-time fan of 'xkcd', and the series has always been a delightful mix of humor and intellect. As far as I know, there are currently four volumes of 'xkcd' books. The first one is simply titled 'xkcd: volume 0', which is a fantastic collection of some of the earliest comics. Then came 'What If?', which is a bit different but still under the 'xkcd' umbrella, focusing on absurd scientific questions. The third is 'Thing Explainer', which uses only the 1,000 most common words to describe complex concepts. The fourth is 'How To', another hilarious take on problem-solving. Each book is a treasure trove for fans of Randall Munroe’s unique style.
