This set is titled, Stuff I Do At Conventions. The Archon convention was held over the Sept 29 - Oct 01 weekend, and I have attended this con as an artist for the last 25 years. I participate in programming, mostly in the art track. These are the artworks I made while I was there.

The first piece is a collaboration with fellow-artist Hollie Linn. The panel was an "Art Relay", which devolved into a general art jam. Hollie was my partner, and we didn't want to share with anyone else! Our first assignment, prompted by the audience, was "a goth lion and a hippie dragon at a dinner party". She drew the lion and I drew the dragon, and we both colored the picture.

The second piece was also a collaboration with Hollie. I asked her to draw her favorite animal - with wings. She drew a quick pegasus, and I tackled it with markers. Then she tackled it with more markers.

The third piece was done in an art demo by fellow-artist Rodney Eaton. He was demonstrating his own colored pencil techniques, and invited us to try out some of the mediums he likes to use. I worked on black multimedia board with Prismacolors to make a quick dragon drawing. I might or might not finish this one later.

The final piece is just my table tent. Each person who does work as a panelist receives a nametag that can be seen across the room. I almost always decorate mine, both out of the need to keep my hands moving, and the desire to advertise, without any doubt, I AM AN ARTIST! The green dragon is my work. The spaceship is the default illustration from the artist guest, Timothy Chiasson.

I attended SoonerCon 31 in Norman, Oklahoma, over the weekend. I always end up doodling on my table tent, as I (a) can't sit still because being on panels is a little stressful (but the good kind of stressful), and (b) because I'm an artist, and I like to advertise without being too pushy.

I'll post the art I made at the convention in a little while. Gotta go dig it out from my phone's photo cache.
