Summer of Sonic Past

Arts from the Past: Summer of Sonic 2009

January 8th, 2011

We’ve all shared so many memories over the last three years of the Summer of Sonic convention! Some of the best ones are contained in the fanart that we see every year – the sheer creativity and artistic talent of the community continues to bowl us over without fail. In 2009′s Truman Brewery convention, staff collected most of the discarded fanart drawn at the venue, in an attempt to preserve the great stuff we saw on the day.

It’s taken us a while to find time to scan them all (like a year and a bit!?) but today I’m proud to present a collection of artwork from the 2009 Summer of Sonic event. This post serves to give back said artwork to those who wanted to archive it on their DeviantArt account or elsewhere, and to detail just how much effort and fun is put into these works by fans. Ultimately the Summer of Sonic is more than just the work of myself and the staff who host the event – it’s about your dedication to the Sonic franchise and your expression of that dedication.

I leave you with the gallery below, along with details of the artist, if it was available on the original copy (and their age at the time). Please feel free to contact me directly if you want to have your name listed, changed or your piece removed from this page at dreadknux@gmail.com.

The new Summer of Sonic 2011 site will be arriving soon – along with the beginning of the lead-up to Sonic’s 20th Anniversary! We’re always listening to your suggestions and comments, and now there are several places for you to make your voice heard – on the Summer of Sonic forum on The Sonic Stadium, the SoS Facebook page, or on our DeviantArt group (thanks to SyamingLi for its creation).

Spotlight Submissions Close: Tuesday

August 2nd, 2010

Thanks so much for your contributions so far to the Spotlight – we will be working through all of our submissions very soon and adding all of the entries onto this website later on today. But as we enter the final week leading up to the Summer of Sonic 2010 convention, it is time we said goodbye to this feature as we all prepare for the big day.

Tuesday will be the last day you will be able to submit anything to the Spotlight – after that, we will try to add your work but it is not guaranteed. Likewise, as previously mentioned, having your work published on this website is not a guarantee of your work appearing in the Summer of Sonic venue on Saturday. Spotlight is a feature intended only for the SoS website.

If you’ve yet to send us anything to show us your love for Sonic, then you have one more day to do it! Simply grab your work (if it’s an image, please ensure it is saved with a popular filetype extension – PNG, JPG, GIF for example – and make sure it’s not too big in filesize), attach it to an email or send us a Youtube link (or other such information) to summerofsonic@yahoo.com.

Make the subject of your email “Spotlight” and include your Name, Nickname (if you’d rather not use your real name), Email Address and any Website Link you might want us to reference. Please note that we cannot guarantee every submission will be published on this website (although we will certainly try), and that original fan works published here cannot be re-used for any contest at the Summer of Sonic convention.
