Rubal the boatsman, he'll take you as far as you need to go. Though most
pay him for information, not travel.

Mess. There was a cool spaceman there until I
screwed him up. There was a cool robot there till
I screwed it up... now there's a big headed, weird
cloaked swordsman. Definitely a bad drawing day!

Lands and Legends Kickstarter

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1633797078/lands-and-legends-the-fantasy-illustration-library

I wanted to bring your attention to a new book that's up for funding via Kickstarter.

At this years Gen Con an art fan by the name of Mike Phifer approched our table and told us about his book project. Mike and his brother are trying to put together an art book, but not just a random assortment of fantasy art, rather, a themed book about some of the old stories and mythology that feeds so much of genre art.

I was instantly impressed by the artists that he already had signed on. Prominent artists like James Gurney, Donato Giancola, and Todd Lockwood! Also a bunch of my friends and colleagues have signed on. Emily and I are also contributing to the book. Emily's painting "The Lady of the Lake," and I'm painting "The Green Man."

So if you're a fan of fantasy, mythology and art, please contribute to the book! Mike's promo video might not be very flashy but the book itself will be well made and printed. (He showed us an example of a very well designed book he worked on before this project.)

That bad drawing of an alien was to cover up a bad

Sketchbook and Greeting Cards on Sale!

I have two items for sale in Emily's Etsy shop: "Fabled Earth Art." I've been meaning to start my own shop or have a spot on my site to sell stuff but since I'm really lazy about all things internets, Emily finally got me to do it.

Anyway, if you haven't seen them at a con, my sketchbook "Linework" is 154 pages of monsters, characters, aliens, and weirdos. It's black and white with a glossy color cover. If you buy one you get a sketch in the front! (probably of a monster, character, alien or weirdo) Click HERE to get one!


rock not included with purchase

The other item of mine we put up in her Etsy store is a greeting card I designed years back. I still like the painting and the message. Without to much effort I was able to capture some warm feelings with a simple image. (which can sometimes be the hardest part of being an illustrator!) There's more pictures, including the interior message HERE on her shop. We're selling both single cards and a pack of 10.



If your interested in either of these items and tons more of great stuff from Emily please visit her store by clicking HERE.

If you celebrate, I hope you all had a good Thanksgiving!
