Big, Big Update

First off, I've added four new pieces of art to the gallery: Phyrexian Hulk, Glistening Oil, Etched Monstrosity, and Surrender, which was the art for the Magic card "Surgical Extraction," and the piece I got into Spectrum 18 which comes out this fall.  Hope you enjoy them.

Secondly, I thought I'd update everyone on the card mailing situation.  I am planning on accepting cards again starting sometime this summer.  I think I've managed to work out the kinks with the Postal Service, but in the meantime, I'll be traveling enough that it's unlikely that I'll be at home to receive anyones cards.  So, as soon as my schedule smooths out, I'll open the mailing up and anyone that's interested can send their stuff my way.  Watch this news page for updates!

Thirdly, I wanted to give a list of upcoming appearances with a little more detail.  So, here goes:

• May 27-29 I will be appearing at the Magic: The Gathering Grand Prix tournament in Providence, Rhode Island.  The event will take place at the Rhode Island Convention Center.  Other artists appearing include RK Post, Lars Grant-West, Ryan Pancoast, and possibly Cyril Van Der Haegen.  Additional information about the event can be found here: link.  Should be a good time and I look forward to seeing everyone there!
• June 10-12 I will be appearing at the Magic: The Gathering Pro Tour event in Nagoya, Japan.  Everything you need to know about this one can be found here: link.  Also appearing will be the artist commonly known as Daarken.  This should be a really interesting one and I'm definitely looking forward to it.  The culture shock alone will be well worth the trip!
• July 8-10 I will be appearing at Connecticon in Hartford, Connecticut.  I know little about other guests at the moment, but in the meantime, you can check out the website here: link.

I will be updating with more information as it applies to these events and others as things solidify in the coming weeks.  Otherwise, I encourage you to check out the links provided.  I will be present at the events above, ready to sign whatever is put in front of me, to draw and whatnot, and show off and sell my wares.  Please stop on by if any of the events happen to be in your area.

Finally, I just want to remind folks that I have a blog and I update it fairly often.  It's got everything from tales of my childhood to recent works and sketches to articles with tips on being an illustrator for you to peruse.  I encourage you all to check it out and take a look at some of what I have to say.  If nothing else, it provides a nice peak behind the curtain of the life of this illustrator.  You can either follow the link above or just click here.  Also, please follow the blog if you're so inclined.  It's easy and the link to do so is right there on the blog itself.

Well, that just about wraps things up for now.  I'm off to get some drawing and painting done now.  Cheers!
