Hey friends! I’m finally grabbing a second to upload photos from the amazing Tidewater Comic Con! This was my first year participating, and I had a blast! I sold a good number of prints and received a lot of positive response.
We saw R2D2…
…and a crazy-amazing Decepticon!
Our good friend Kat happened to also be visiting us that day, so we had the privilege of showing her around her first comic con! (Note our awesome matching Star Wars shirts!)
And of course, my husband Cody is always incredibly supportive of all my crazy artistic endeavors. :)
And there were these two really fun and silly girls that kept me company throughout the con. They even gave me an adorable crochet Baby Groot!
I had a fantastic time—thank you for all my friends who came out to see me! :)
Alright. As if this spring hasn’t been insanely busy already, I have ONE LAST thing on my docket before I get a bit of a break. This “thing” is something I’ve been waiting to do for about three years now. It’s called the Illustration Master Class, and it’s a week-long intensive art course in Massachusetts. This is something I am SUPER EXCITED for. Because this course is unlike any other: a bunch of artists get together for a week of fantasy and sci-fi illustration mayhem. We will have the unique opportunity to socialize with professional illustrators in this field, watch them as they paint, ask questions, receive mentorship, explore new mediums and techniques, network with other artists, and generally be on an incredible creative high (or so I’m told). As I’ve been prepping for this trip, I feel a little like Mister Potter here as he’s ready to embark to Hogwarts.
Except we’ll have oil paint instead of owls, and paintbrushes instead of wands. But with our imagination, we can go anywhere we want. Even to Hogwarts. ;)All I know is that it's going to be a magical experience, and I'm looking forward to meeting my peers and seeing where my artistic journey will take me next. See you guys on the flip side!http://www.artimc.org/Check out a glimpse of what we'll be doing!:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9ZcVBo0S3o
