Hello!
I've recently taken on the task to help organize and run the art show at the upcoming Lovecraft convention MythosCon Jan 6-9 in Phoenix Arizona. I'm looking for artists to participate in the art show, either attending in person or by mailing in artwork. It's going to have some excellent guests, including Robert Price and S.T. Joshi- a veritable who's who of the modern mythos. I came on board because it was starting to look like there wasn't going to be a show-or not much of one, and we simply can't allow this, can we? Not only is it a pleasure to have an excuse to pester some of my favorite artists (and get to meet new ones), I am hoping it will foster some networking among us and perhaps give us all a bit of helpful PR to a specialized fan-base.
Here's what I know so far… 4x4 foot art show flats are $35 each, as are half of an 8-foot table for 3D artwork. We'll have about 50 flats available. Those unable to attend will be able to send in the work within 30 days of the show. I will be there before the show to help set up and do what I can to make things smoothly, though there will be other people that are more versed in the actual logistics. I think my job at this point is to gather artists, help as a liaison and handle the clerical/organizational stuff. If you have any questions please ask! Though we're hoping for mostly Lovecraftian art, we are open to related pieces.
If this is something of interest, please let me know so I can keep you on the list for future information as I get it. Please send this along to any other 'Mythos' artists of Lovecraft forums, etc. you think may be interested. You can email me: paul at nightserpent dot com
Speaking of Lovecraftian artists.... I've just commissioned my very first piece from another artist! I've discovered that Earl Gieier (perhaps most well known for all the amazing creature portraits he did in the Call of Cthulhu core rulebook) offers custom artwork through Ebay for an excellent price. Here's his Ebay shop: http://myworld.ebay.com/baldegografix/ and his website: BaldEgoGrafix.com I've loved Earl's work since I became aware of it in the Call of Cthulhu books- what I can struggle with he can somehow nail down with a gestural line. I wasn't sure what to ask for, and I know how much my art flourishes when I'm told to just let loose, so with just a few vague suggestions I let him just do what came to mind...
Thanks, Earl!!
OK, that's it for now... I'll have some fresh casein paintings to share in the not-too-distant future.
