Just received this beautiful painting of the one and only Emilia Clarke for the wife's birthday gift, done by @jameshance. Now just have to figure out a way to get her to sign it! Any way to make that happen, @gameofthrones?

MondoCon Free Giveaways

So, many know that at this year’s MondoCon II here in Austin, TX earlier this month, I gave away some little freebie bags filled with some cool art from a ton of artists.  Each bag contained one of two screenprints produced exclusively for the con, “Witness Me” by Patrick Connan and “Bryan” by Tim Doyle. The remainder of the bags contained other prints, sketches, art cards, postcard prints, stickers, pins, and a plethora of other goodies.  All of these items were provided free of charge by more than 50 artists, all of whom I either have spoken to personally, or I simply was a fan of their work and reached out. These 50+ artists donated over 1,000+ prints, cards, and more, and I couldn’t have been happier with the amount of awesome stuff I was able to giveaway. This post is about thanking those artists for donating their work without pause, so I encourage you to check out these artists, browse their stores, add them on Facebook/Twitter/etc, or even simply shoot them an email to let them know if you liked something of theirs specifically. I’m pretty sure I’ve got them all on here, but if I missed someone, please let me know.  Thanks to everyone who made the con a great weekend, and hopefully you all enjoyed the awesome freebies!

You wanna know how truly powerful @DisneyPixar is? They made a 33 year old man cry for a character named “Bing Bong.” #InsideOut #SadDad

Close up shots of the final screenprint for “Witness Me” by @barbarianfactory

[thegeekcommander]

This beautiful piece of art, titled “Witness Me” belongs to Patrick Connan (aka @barbarianfactory) who nailed this out of the freakin’ park.  This was printed up as a 1-color screen print on Speckletone paper, measuring 8″ x 8″ total. We had 250 of them printed up to give away for free at MondoCon 2015 this past weekend.  This was all hand-drawn by Patrick in pencils/inks, and then scanned into Photoshop to have it ready for screenprinting. Check out more of his work at http://www.patrickconnan.com.

Here’s the original art by Lyndon Willoughby (@Willowstration) that we’ve been working on doing a print for, as well as the final print in hand. It’s 5-colors, measures 18″ x 24″ and is printed on Metallic Pearl White paper.  We had 35 copies printed up, and it came out amazing. The metallic can be seen in the white of the car, the clouds, and the streaks of white going through the print. Love how well this came together.  Definitely planning another print in the near future. I also have a few left for sale if anyone is interested.
