[Pen/Pencil Review] The Mithril Mechanisms Chess Knight Pen
SoonerCon is one of my favorite science fiction conventions. They have great programming and an amazing Art Show. I love hanging out with some of our favorite artists and meeting new ones. Especially ones that create wondrous works in ink pens. Allan Seyberth is just the newest one. He had an amazing display. He’s currently […]
[Writer Post] Return to Balance — I Hope
I’m in the process of getting my mind back in the game after my hiatus week. Well…HAH. Last week was “hiatus” solely because all brain power was focused on the Day Job. We had an issue where I finally got to put some of my new Public Information Officer training into practice while putting the […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Spotlight Ryan Krusac & Brandon Lee
So this pen blog is going to be a wee bit different. It’s going to be more of a spotlight because it’s pen related and I’m gearing back up for the real reviews. 😎 During FenCon I did my annual whirlwind pilgrimage to the Dallas Pen Show. Where I can usually do the “I’m just […]
[Spotlight Post] Matt Frank & What Star Trek Means to Me
Last post about SoonerCon and then we’ll look forward to the next North Texas Comic Book Show and ArmadilloCon. This convention was just a hoot, I had to break it up before it was its own novel. Since Friday is a Spotlight Day… I’m going to tell you about some people I encountered because that’s […]
[Spotlight Post] Humans in Space Youth Art Competition
Happy Friday! It’s a seriously gray and gloomy day here with rain as far as the eye can see – which we desperately need. Very grateful for the rain, but it’s not helping me decide what to write for a spotlight. This seems to be one of those “Deep Breath†weeks. There hasn’t been quite […]
[Spotlight Post] The Cats of Tanglewood Forest by de Lint and Vess
It’s Friday – and I’m supposed to be coming up with a Spotlight. “Supposed†to being an operative word. Between allergy meds and some “people suck†news. I think I’ll just tell you about the book I’m currently reading. I do know that, in fact, MOST people do not suck, but the ones that do? […]
[Spotlight Post] Julie Dillon ArmadilloCon 34 Artist Guest of Honor
In continuing our ArmadilloCon Theme…I’ll finish up the week with Julie Dillon. I’ll admit I’d never heard of her before — but art is more of Jimmy’s area, not mine. But I know her now, and I’ll definitely be keeping my ears open for news of her. Julie is a delightful person. We met her […]
[Spotlight Post] Allen Williams
Look at me, doing my Spotlight before I hit the road for ApolloCon. Lesson learned. Typing on an iPhone while Jimmy hurtles us through the countryside at 80MPH is not an ideal situation (though it made part of the drive go faster). This time I’ll have distractions–Julia Mandala. This week I’m featuring an artist is […]
[Spotlight Post] Peri Charlifu
So it’s Friday, and I’m heading to SoonerCon–and realized I hadn’t done a Spitlight post. So while Jimmy drives, I am typing his on my phone. Sorry about typos and stuff. This will be bare bones. One of the artists who will be at SoonerCon is Peri Charlifu. If you do SF conventions and been […]
[Spotlight Post] Vincent Villafranca – Bronze Sculptor
A couple of weeks ago, Jimmy and I headed up to Sanger Texas to check out the Bolivar Street Art Gallery. WHY? Because it was the opening of the Vincent Villafranca and Scott Winterrowd. Vincent is a good friend and phenomenal bronze, 3D artist — and my first Spotlight. His exhibit at the gallery runs […]
