Arts and crafts specialist Crafter’s Companion and its art supplies brand, Spectrum Noir, will be debuting its new Wizarding World and DC Super Hero inspired product ranges at London Comic-Con this month.
The launch event will kickstart the first phase of a three-year multi-territory deal with Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products which will initially focus on the UK and US.
The first licensed products created for its premium ‘Fan-Art Like A Pro’ brand include six art kits inspired by DC Super Heroes and Super-Villains including Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Joker, The Flash and Harley Quinn, plus three spellbinding sets for fans of the Wizarding World: Harry Potter, Magical Companions and Magical Creatures.
Fan-Art Like A Pro is a new and original product concept, offering a unique immersive fandom experience enabling creative expression, artistic skill development and personal accomplishment.
Each bespoke art set includes premium quality materials including iconic brand line art designs, and specially selected colour-matched alcohol markers which are an original and authentic medium used by professional artists. The sets also include expert instructions and online tutorials which make them suitable for both newcomers and hobbyists.
Spectrum Noir will be making its debut at London Comic-Con with a dedicated stand in the Artist Alley zone, where visitors will have the opportunity to participate in some interactive creative workshop demonstrations. Guests will be able to try the new product range, purchase exclusive show packages and gain access to free workshops led by professional artists.
“We are so excited to finally be able to launch our ‘Fan-Art Like A Pro’ DC Super Hero and Wizarding World products, and what better way to unveil the kits than London Comic-Con – the ultimate fan event,” commented Sara Davies, founder of Crafter’s Companion, business investor and TV personality. “As our first entertainment licenses, it’s been a total labour of love bringing iconic characters and scenes from these powerhouse franchises to life. I honestly cannot wait to see the reaction from the fan and art communities as we help them immerse in the fandoms and unlock their creative potential with Spectrum Noir’s new range of ‘Fan-Art Like A Pro’ art sets.”
Following the official launch at London Comic-Con (27-29 October), the sets will launch at retail, priced at £35.
