San Deigo Location Map

Morning all. Next weekend I will be attending San Diego Comic Con, sharing a table with Diana Stein and April Lee. Anyone who has attended SDCC knows how this huge dealer's room is amazing and a bit overwhelming; it can be hard to find your way around amid crowds and impressive displays. In addition, we have moved location from where we were last year. With this in mind I am posting three maps of the dealer's room with zoom in views at each stage. Our booth number, as posted on the site, is 4821. If there are any changes to this location I will have Mark post a correction on Wednesday.

Jake's Painting

But wait, there's more! Here is a jpeg image of Jake's actual painting. This shows three of his characters at a picnic. It's ninety degrees where I am today and I think I'm envious of the wolfie who's getting splashed......

Jake takes a break

And now for something completely different.....Jake W commissioned a lovely painting and picked it up at Anthrocon. He took it home, had it famed, and then sent me this great pic a happy patron enjoying his art. Thanks Jake! Also, Jake has sent me some amazing wolf photos he took to use as reference for artwork. If you like the way I render wolf fur in upcoming paintings, you may have Jake to thank!

Seth's Comic Con Commission

This is another piece that I completed for Novi Comicon. Thanks Seth! I displayed it behind my table and I received many compliments on it. I'm especially happy with the number of characters that are in here--and the fact that all of them can be seen at a glance (not always easy to to on illustration with a lot of characters).

Art from A Chance Meeting

Good Morning! Nice to blog to you, nice to be here, Wonderful to drink my morning coffee. The weather in my neck of the woods has been gorgeous for the last few days. The new blogging software Mark found has proven extremely useful. It appears that I'm going to be doing a lot more blogging. If I can keep up this piece I may even add another blog. ^^

Ah, my head is in the clouds again. Time to come back to earth and finish this blog listing.

Here's a piece of art that I did for the episode of Mark's Mysteries called 'A Chance Meeting.' The subject matter is unusual for me and that's what made it fun. I may look for more excuses to draw people with wrinkles, simply because they are so interesting to do.

Origins and Anthrocon Scheudle

Hi people. I wanted remind all that I will be at Origins this year but I will only be there on Thursday. If you're interested in chatting or having a DS or Magic card signed--or, for that matter, purchasing a print and having it signed--please come see me on the first day of the show. I can accept commissions on Thursday but I won't be able to finish anything at the show; if you want a commission come see me and we can make arrangements for for me to ship it to you after the show.

After Thursday I will be at Anthrocon. Mark will be driving me to Pittsburg, then coming back; Columbus and Pittsburgh are relatively close to each other so he won't be gone long.

More Art

To reward folks for their patience I've decided to post extra art in the next week. Here's the next in this series. Doug Hildebrandt commissioned a picture of his new clan dragon character. I love the detail in this piece; Patterns on clothing is one of my favorite subjects.
