Thanks to All Who Came Out to 221 B!
Enjoyed meeting and talking with everyone at the convention in Atlanta this weekend!
221 B Con
Just a reminder: If you happen to be in the Atlanta, GA area this weekend, I’ll have an art booth at 221 B Con from April 8-10. We’ll be celebrating all things Sherlock Holmes! I’ll be selling art prints, books, greeting cards, originals, and other stationary. Hopefully, I’ll see you there 🙂 For more information on 221 B, such as location and directions, please visit the official website: https://www.221bcon.com

The current state of the publishing industry evokes such a sadness. What options are there for up and coming independent storytellers? Obviously, in regard to self-publishing, Amazon is an option.

Currently, learning to use Blender… maybe some Sparky figurines will be in the pipeline soon? There are a few main characters from the Sparky universe that I would like to start out with. Hard to believe that the holidays are now upon us, as well as the third year of the seemingly never-ending pandemic. I think that it’s important to continue doing sketches each day, now more than ever, while the world is so chaotic. On a side note, a few artists have caught my attention as of late, such as Gray Morrow. I especially love his science fiction and fantasy book covers.

In a disparate future, Sparky encounters intergalactic warlords, devious aliens, and an ever burgeoning midlife crises. Rest assured, Sparky and his comrade.
