Drawn and Disorderly Craft Beer and Art Market - 8/06/2016

This Saturday I will be set up at Urbnpop's Drawn and Disorderly Craft Beer and Art Market at Red Brick Brewing Company. Lots of great artists and music by Southern Ska Syndicate.  It's going from 1-5pm. Come on out for a great time!

24 Hour Delivery Zine

I while back I submitted a drawing to the 24 Hour Delivery zine.  Chris Hamer (Urbnpop) puts it out and gives an idea/theme that artists have 24 hours to respond and it's compiled and printed.  The theme for this one was Wizard of Doom.  Here was my submission.

I thought it turned out well especially with the tight turnaround time.  Since it was a black & white zine with a short deadline I didn't bother to do any color.  I plan on going back and coloring it in and making a real print out of it.

Re: ICE Holiday Shopping Spectacular

Thanks to everyone that came to the Indie Craft Experience (ICE) Holiday Shopping Spectacular this past weekend.  I had a great time. Sharing the space with Third Half Studios and Urbnpop was a huge success and I hope to do it again next year.  Nothing better than spending the weekend with friends.  For those people I talked to about commissioned paintings or purchasing something at a later date, please send me an email. 

This was my last show of 2012 so huge thanks to everyone I met this year!  Next stop 2013! 

Indie Craft Experience (ICE) Holiday Shopping Spectacular 11/17-11/18

This weekend I will be at the Indie Craft Experience (ICE) Holiday Shopping Spectacular!  The event will last both Saturday and Sunday (11/17 and 11/18) 11 am - 6 pm both days.  There are free totebags by Urbnpop given out to the 1st 250 people in line both days. The Facebook event page is here.

I'll be in roughly the same spot as last year.  This year I am teaming up with the awesome Third Half Studios and Urbnpop folks and we are going to have our own mini-pop up shop.  We'll be in the back in spaces #78-80.  All our stuff will be displayed together so come check out the Belligerent Third Half Urbnpop Studio Monkeys! (circle c!)

Check out the full list of vendors.  Creative Loafing recently gave it the Best Event award in their Best of Atlanta 2012 issue.  Check out the article here.


And here's a quick video in which the folks at ICE tell you WHY buying handmade is great…and it includes info about the Holiday Shopping Spectacular.

Dragon*Con 2012

Dragon*Con 2012 was a blast. Even though I'm still in recovery mode, I can't wait for next year (and have already booked the hotel room).  Here are some of the things I saw/learned this year.

George Perez is the nicest/awesomest/best comic book artist in the world.  He is always very nice and seems to genuinely have a blast at the convention wandering the hotels and taking photos with fans.  On top of that he's one of the all time greatest comic book artists out there and I'm lucky to have gotten some convention sketches from him. 

Georges Jeanty is pretty great too.  I picked up a couple of his Buffy prints last year.

There was a great representation of Atlanta artists including Third Half Studios, UrbnPop, Derek Yaniger, Red Rocket Farm, and HC Warner.  

I ended up with Derek's Dragon*Con 2012 print below (image stolen from Needless Things' Dragon*Con writeup which is similar to this one only much better written). 

Re: I.C.E. Holiday Shopping Spectacular

Huge thanks to everyone that came out to the I.C.E. Holiday Shopping Spectacular this past weekend.  For those people I talked to about commissioned paintings or purchasing a painting at a later date, please send me an email. 

One of the best parts of participating in a show like this is checking out some of the great work of fellow artists.  Here are some of the great pieces I saw and/or brought home with me.
