Art Shows

We had remarkable success at Gencon. The big dragon trophy sold plus we sold many of our prints and small sculptures. We made a good contact with one of the game manufacturers who was interested in securing my talent for sculpting game pieces. I also got a commissioned piece for a custom dragon trophy head. All in all a really good experience. Plus I was interviewed by Night Lights TV. Here is the link: click here.

We did not get to enjoy as much of the con as we would have liked because we were also visiting family in the area but we did enjoy the Art Show and the Tesla Coil concert.  Duckon Art Show awards a small little trophy for "Best in Show" and "Fan Favorite".  These are based on popular vote and I won the "Fan Favorite" for my Dragon Head Trophy. 

This years Marcon was a blast.  There were more hall costumes then I had ever seen at a convention.  We especially enjoyed the Doctor Nefarious costume by Fyberdyne and Bob Vaillencourt.  The workmanship was stunning.  Richard Hatch of Battle Star Gallactica fame made a hall appearance and was one of the Masquerade judges.

However the Art Show seemed to be lacking.  Gone, I suppose, are the Sci-fi convention art shows of yesteryear when stunning works would sell for 1000s of dollars.  Still I enjoyed the works presented.  I was pleased that there was a greater representation of fine art vs. fan art.  I enjoy both but I want to expand as artist and so welcome the trend towards fine art. Enjoy the photos.
