I've never posted a video before, so this is as much a test as it is something so DAMN FUNNY I had to share...

October Exhibits...
I spoke with Amber Tatnall about displaying at the York County Community College October display in the Campus Library. Should be very cool, definately looking forward to it. I need to make up a new Press Release (I hate that), but a necessary unpleasantly...
Simultaneously, I hope the Horror Fantasy Art Show in Salem Mass. will be taking place this year. It's always up in the air until September, and usually late Sept. at that, since many Property Baron's are reluctant to rent out for a single month, in case someone shows up who'd like to rent with a lease and everything. I can't blame them for that...

Necon Rundown...
Rundown, lowdown, I know not from whence I doth speaketh...
LAST MONTH I attended the infamous Camp Necon, my 3rd year so far...
One of these years, I hope to an rate Air conditioned room. I was also fortunate enough to rate, for the second year in a row (thank you) a spill-over room, what the other residence and I affectionately took to calling the NoseBleed Section. These were rooms that were on Campus, in the second quad, and would have been great rooms had Camp Necon actually taken place on campus. A vast improvement over last years NoseBleed Section, which I won't even get into. (Although remind me to tell you about the Raining Daddy Long-Legs, it's an amusing story...)
In addition to a better room, this year went better than last year. I left feeling I hadn't alienated or creeped out more people than in years past., (by "creeped out" ...it's a Horror-Writers Convention, so that would be "creeped out" in a not-so-good way.) I like to think I even mended a few mis-steps from last year. I had a GREAT time, drank less
On a professional level, it's a mixed bag. Sales were down from previous years, due to a plethora of reasons, but I'll go with "the economy". Otherwise, it was worth it, as always. I got plenty of opportunity to talk with, and share ideas with both Jill Bauman and Steve Gilberts. Two of my favorite artists in the genre, who are both very generous with information on techniques. Once again, I left a better artist than when I arrived, which is priceless. Also Jill expressed interest in Postmortem Productions make some T-shirts of her art. How does it get better than that?? It don't.

Scarred for Life
I've been asked (written to) on several occasions for permission to get my art as a tattoo. Being a tattoo enthusiast, and big fan of permanently defacing ones body, of course I always agree. The only thing I ever ask is to please send me a picture of the finished work. I'd like to see it, what was done with/to it, and if I'm REALLY lucky, see a boob...
No one has EVER sent me a photo of the finished work, I don't even know if it even happened. Until recently...
So HATS OFF to Rick in CA, who sent me this:

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
I always get excited about the end of a year, and the start of a new. 2007 was a very good year for me (by my accounts) and 2008 looks promising.
2007:
Started an odd niche of painting on Native American Ceremonial Drums (I'm on my 5th one now)
Began on the road to what I hope to be a Business Degree (3.0 so far)
My first Horror-Find Weekend Art Show
Cryptopedia came out (w/my work in it)
Necon happened (always something to celebrate!)
The Terror Fantasy Art show
Postmortem Prod. had a strong year...
2008:
I have a class starting on Jan. 9th about writing Comic books (more in it's own entry)
A SLEW of New Designs for Postmortem Productions chomping at the bit to be released
Necon is happening again! (I just wanted to say that...)
Those are the CONFIRMED hapenings, I don't want to mention other things that look good and likely, but not definate. 2008 here we come!

Update
The Terror Fantasies Art Show is over, it was a rousing success. It appears "Nacht der Geist" (one of my most popular pieces) was a big hit. I sold the Original, and completely sold out of prints. I have one picture from the show, I need to resize it before I can post it.
The semester ended on the Business Class I was taking, I just got my grade, (3.0) I'll take it. Checkmark step one to getting my business degree. I think I scored extra points from the instructor by making a sale during my end of term presentation. (hehe!)
I just embarked on Native American Drum painting #5. This one is commisioned, as opposed to making it and selling it as previously. The painting will be a Siberian Husky dog, with a Polar Bear in there somewhere. I have ideas, but it's not completely worked out yet.
That's all for now, I PROMISE to be better about keeping this thing updated. I just need to stop wasting time argueing on other sites/blogs with morons...
