Just got the word that I will be returning to Columbia, SC next year from 3/31-4/1, 2012
for Nashicon. I’m back in the Artist Alley. The convention has moved to the convention center. Im getting pretty booked up for the spring so please write if you’d like me to attend one of your shows.
Heading out after work tomorrow for Roundcon in Columbia, SC. My third show this year in South Carolina. Starting to feel like a second home. See you there.
We are going to be vending once again at the Big Crafty this December 4th at Pack Place in downtown Asheville. Its a great show and I’m partial to the december show as its a great place to get christmas presents. Also love that we dont have to travel to set up at this show. See you there! The Big Crafty
We are doing SPACE next April 21st-22nd, 2012 in Columbus, OH. Its a pretty big branch out for us (almost back to our old stomping grounds in the midwest) and we look forward to it. So many good artists are going to be there including John Porcellino among others. See you there!
Just purchased our 2012 Dragoncon memberships. We are going as fans, but of course if your going as well and want a creature, I’ll be happy to oblige. Updated the appearances lists.
Just confirmed. I will be bringing my Creatures to the Louisville Arcade Expo next March 2nd-4th, 2012. I will be setting up Saturday & Sunday, and painting all your classic video game characters for you. It’s my first appearance in Kentucky and I’m looking forward to it. Just hope I get some time to go play some video games as well!
Well I finally made it to a day of Dragoncon and although it’s a little large for me, I think I’ve drunk the kool-aid and can’t wait to go back next year. I doubt we will ever vend at the show as it just seems a little overwhelming, but maybe after we get another year under our belts of just figuring out the layout of where everything is. I mean we only made it to 4 of the 5 hotels yesterday and of those we still only saw certain areas of the convention. Not that, that is a bad thing.
Spent most of the morning just wandering between hotels checking out the Walk of Fame and two of the three dealers rooms before heading into line to see William Shatner. I had seen him before but I was glad to get to hear him talk one more time. After Shatner we went to my favorite part of the show, the comics artist alley. Many great talents in that room and so much great stuff to look at. Went to the art show and I was excited when we ran into artist Todd Lockwoods table. He does the covers for the Drizzt series of books by R.A. Salvatore, my favorite fantasy series. I got a nice print of the cover of The Lone Drow all ready for framing.
We then headed to the Sheraton to catch the Ghost Hunters panel. It was funny and just another great experience of the day. After that we met up with a friend who lives in Atlanta for a chinese duck feast at Hsu’s a pricey but good Chinese place a block from the con.
Saying our goodbyes we ran back to the Marriot to catch the Battlestar Galactica cast in a q and a that ended with Edward Olmos leading the crowd in a loud SO SAY WE ALL Scream. Perfect way to end the day but we had one more mission in mind. We rode the awesome elevators all 43 floors to the top and got a great but a little high for me view of the Marriott.
All in all a great day and worth the crazy driving it took to get there. Next year we will be back, and can’t wait to add more days to our entertainment.
I’m gonna be at the Renassaice Hotel in Dowtown Asheville all weeked for Ladies of Letterpress Conference. Come find me volunteering or from afar you can follow along on Twitter, Hashtag #loflcon

Just been added to the program participants list for the first ever Illogicon next January 13th-15th, 2012 in Raleigh, NC. Super excited for NC to get another convention and happy to be a part of it. The hope is for me and Jessica to also have an artist table at the show, but details on that are still forthcoming. See you in Raleigh in January.
