Practice does pay off. The biggest challenge for this piece was to get the contrast right for the figure and the limited background. It needed to be readable and fleshed out, but not to the point that it overwhelmed the figure. I believe I hit the right balance with it.

The long and the short of it is that I made three pieces for this book, but due to travel, I was unable to see to some very late revision notes, and that third piece was replaced by another artist. At a later date, I hope to share that piece with you all, but that is for another day.<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size: small;">First up, we clearly have my favorite piece for the book, and likely for some time. It is Wanewort the Night Hag, and she has a pair of kitties. Not just any kitties, but she is holding my Mietze, and my wife's little Zemo is sniffing around Wanewort's dress. She was described as having two cats, and I asked if one of them could be changed in the final piece to be a little bitey orange kitty. Production gave their blessing, and so Mietze and Zemo are now in a D&D book! The second piece for the book is Boss Augustus, and he is struggling with an internal conflict. The weird thing about this one is that, while the entire thing was based on me, the drawing looks like someone I know, and the painting looks like another person I know. I'm not sure how this happened, but here we are all the same.

There is something about this show, well, there are a lot of some things about this show. Do not get me wrong, all of the shows I do repeatedly year after year mean something to me, but they are all different and unique. Mike Ensley and his team make an amazing show and a wonderful con to be a guest at. The attendees are great and are always super excited and happy to be at the con. The returning artist family continues to grow, and seeing them every year is such a treat! Pensacon stands out as the start of the convention season for me and sets the pace for the rest of the year. And if Pensacon was any indication for the year, it is going to be a crazy, fun time.<br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGZg2Y4AWwUMwL0XMXOjfUv32-vNcWS71mGsx5HvgF_yTldjUFSWGilcD4Kzw7ZA_kQh3jmnYu6dZEsxkOpdPOw9epLyjz15gIFKRrnOYctQ_EzQLVo7sFuF1hiKGLqyz7NX5KGefR78xFNkMKiVibCovfMWhP-jBtFTTe1TSBJr1_Bhyphenhyphen4bSAz13TtV6QT/s1152/Pensacon-2024-02.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="864" data-original-width="1152" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGZg2Y4AWwUMwL0XMXOjfUv32-vNcWS71mGsx5HvgF_yTldjUFSWGilcD4Kzw7ZA_kQh3jmnYu6dZEsxkOpdPOw9epLyjz15gIFKRrnOYctQ_EzQLVo7sFuF1hiKGLqyz7NX5KGefR78xFNkMKiVibCovfMWhP-jBtFTTe1TSBJr1_Bhyphenhyphen4bSAz13TtV6QT/s320/Pensacon-2024-02.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>The Grand Bazaar at Pensacon 2024!<br /></span></div><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">When I returned to Pensacon post-COVID, I did not know what to expect, and what I found was my sales more than doubled from 2020 to 2022. I assumed it was a fluke, but my sales were slightly higher in 2023. That was, of course, a fluke as well. Then we come to 2024, and sales have doubled from 2022. I had my single best day yet at a convention and the best total sales at any convention to date. I also sold an original for more than I have ever sold a piece of art. What does this all mean? I have no idea. But I know I need to get my second book finished! People want more!<br /></span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Besides record sales, there was a singular moment for me at Pensacon this year, and that would be the Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel Q&A panel that I was on with James Marsters and Charisma Carpenter. For years, I believed it would make for a good panel if you had cast and crew together talking about the same projects from their respective viewpoints... and it turns out I was right. I had SO much fun! James and Charisma were welcoming, and we had loads to share. I brought the few remaining artifacts from my time on Buffy and Angel, and the crowd went wild. I will be honest, LA was very hard. It took a lot to live and work out there, and at times, it felt like everything was working against us, especially some of the people I worked with. At times, I found myself in very hostile working conditions. This is something I haven't really spoken publically about, and one I will continue to leave vague as much as I can. This is not the time for that whole conversation. But I would like to say that being on this panel has brought me so much closer and peace with what I went through out there. I am in a really good place now, and my memories of LA and working in the film industry are a whole lot brighter. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">I launched the Kickstarter for my book at Pensacon in 2020, and to continue to return there and to have more and more people telling me how much they enjoyed it, how much it means to them, and how excited they are for book two means more than I will ever be able to express. It is wild to be selling a book to <g class="gr_ gr_1000195 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Punctuation only-del replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="1000195" id="1000195">someone,</g> and to have someone walk by and tell me how much they love the book is tremendous. Thank you to all of you who have journeyed to the Grand Bazaar.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">We focused on the con during the day and ourselves in the evening. We didn't have any late nights or big adventures this year, and I was fine with it. It is better to miss out on a few things and to be rested and ready for a long day at the booth. We had meals with wonderful friends and saw so many familiar faces. From start to finish, this was an amazing Pensacon and one that will be hard to top. Again, thank you to Mike Ensley, Julio Diaz, Lemmie Crews, Roland Paris, Mark Maddox, Steve Wise, and way too many others (sorry that I am not mentioning you all) for making Pensacon so wonderful for the both of us. Here are some photos and additional thoughts. <br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl7-7cu-K-NpDg47MZbJYOyPpp2x922gH0n3RsOkiEiznpIOoXln5gtL5xPE_wTXa_cwdD6QHhDhjA1FePbH-mYWtmIhJ6EEhc5tQ9xY5VM-rdah3omdcJacvGFJf6w2jlsiFM64j80Eu6RPE9kkVLpkRnrsJPkgMcg2neR7cQKOt9TRGflXiaDDrcuqqU/s1152/Pensacon-2024-01.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="864" data-original-width="1152" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl7-7cu-K-NpDg47MZbJYOyPpp2x922gH0n3RsOkiEiznpIOoXln5gtL5xPE_wTXa_cwdD6QHhDhjA1FePbH-mYWtmIhJ6EEhc5tQ9xY5VM-rdah3omdcJacvGFJf6w2jlsiFM64j80Eu6RPE9kkVLpkRnrsJPkgMcg2neR7cQKOt9TRGflXiaDDrcuqqU/s320/Pensacon-2024-01.jpg" width="320" /></a></div></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">The final evolution - hopefully for a long time. <br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">After Gen Con 2023, we invested in our own trailer to make events much easier and cheaper. Then, on the way to IX, my car's transmission died, and we had to get a new car on the return trip from IX. <g class="gr_ gr_1000208 gr-alert gr_spell gr_disable_anim_appear ContextualSpelling multiReplace" data-gr-id="1000208" id="1000208"><g class="gr_ gr_1000207 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling multiReplace" data-gr-id="1000207" id="1000207">NOW</g></g>, after all that, we have a trailer and car fit for the road and convention season.

This means I do not have final details on everything I wanted to share with you today. That said, I think I have something pretty cool, BUT you will have to come to Pensacon to <i>see</i> it.

These are only a few of the works that I did for the shows, and these are pieces I am comfortable with parting with.

These are all definitely part of the Buffy and Angel history. </p><p>Speaking of art, I will be debuting many new art pieces for book two of the Grand Bazaar of Ethra VanDalia. If you are on my mailing list, you have already seen a lot of this new work, but not all of it.

I will do my best to announce it ahead of time on social media. This is not everything, though, and I have a couple other surprises planned, but I will share them later or after the convention. <br /></p><p>That is all for another exciting Wednesday on the blog.

As Pensacon is my first event of the year, it will be the first convention I am taking color proof that I have completed ahead of time. I will still be taking color orders at the show to complete after it is over, but this way, you can get one now and not have to wait or worry. I am sticking to the basics for this first group but focusing on some of my more popular cards. Here is how the Ancient Carp, Blufferfish, Festering Mummy, and Gudul Lurker turned out.<br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb6jjutTnpPmoxToURhsno1UkZgV4FAZfcdPbG3gMR2ncvhsxGizfvD1YUd3cyjtNJmqeSMTAIhRKNYJMcV1K2KVBbvS7iByfJ91W3FjVNN9BjD5vxhWxOFGrJlFjQ_hqetpz1RsZr01E05TcYw2SDIQwFGVnGmAZpju3qFVXx1yRK2thudyWNKX7bYM1R/s1152/Pensacon-Aritst-Proofs01.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="825" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjb6jjutTnpPmoxToURhsno1UkZgV4FAZfcdPbG3gMR2ncvhsxGizfvD1YUd3cyjtNJmqeSMTAIhRKNYJMcV1K2KVBbvS7iByfJ91W3FjVNN9BjD5vxhWxOFGrJlFjQ_hqetpz1RsZr01E05TcYw2SDIQwFGVnGmAZpju3qFVXx1yRK2thudyWNKX7bYM1R/s320/Pensacon-Aritst-Proofs01.jpg" width="229" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My Ancient Carp, Blufferfish, Festering Mummy, and Gudul Lurker Magic the Gathering artist proofs with color handmade art on the back.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Marker, ink, and <g class="gr_ gr_1001778 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling multiReplace" data-gr-id="1001778" id="1001778">acrylic</g> paint of card.<br /></div><p></p><p>For these, I wanted to pull directly from the original drawings for the card art. I have been working on a method to transfer images onto the backs of the cards, and this allows me a lot more options for my artist proofs.

I enjoy drawing much larger, <g class="gr_ gr_1000077 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim Grammar replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="1000077" id="1000077">and</g> so getting a sketch on the back of the proofs that I was happy with has been a big <g class="gr_ gr_1002727 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_run_anim ContextualSpelling multiReplace" data-gr-id="1002727" id="1002727">challenge</g>.

I am not sure if I will be making any unsold cards available online after the show or if I will be rolling them over to the next convention. I guess I will cross that bridge in a week.

Last week, I was reminded of my work on The Chicks' video of <a href="https://youtu.be/Gw7gNf_9njs?si=7J5SOKcHCiA1MXDy">Goodbye Earl</a>. This was early 2000 when I was still fresh out in Los Angles making monsters - so nearly 24 years ago to the day. As all this happened 24 years ago, I do not have much to show for my work during this period. While I tried to keep a camera with me and get some photos when I could, there just wasn't the speed and ease we have now to take dozens of pictures and videos without care. <g class="gr_ gr_1000097 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_hide gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Correctness multiReplace replaceWithoutSep replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="1000097" id="1000097">So, I will be sharing a total of two pictures and hopefully the stories will make up for the rest.</g> </p><p>It was a Friday morning when the shop got the call. They needed a zombie/dead makeup for the actor Dennis Franz on set and ready to go by 6 am Saturday morning. This is a good time to mention that at this time in the industry, it was not uncommon to have EXTREMELY short turnarounds for video and commercial projects. I have no idea if it is still like this today, but twenty years ago, it was typical for us to have various commonly needed items ready to go so we didn't have to pull all-nighters. <g class="gr_ gr_1000186 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_hide gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Correctness multiReplace replaceWithoutSep replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="1000186" id="1000186">But when you get a call for a custom makeup that has to be on set in less than 24 hours, well, you know you are going to have a long day, and night, ahead of you.</g> <g class="gr_ gr_1000107 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_hide gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Correctness multiReplace replaceWithoutSep replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="1000107" id="1000107">Needless to say the boss took the job and the two of us made a zombie makeup overnight.</g> I was still just a pup of 25 years old, so an all-nighter was not the issue it would be today. I have never been a fan of them, but I could do them when needed, and this was definitely one of those times. <br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6nzP91bNBUDK3JtWV6SU9p_Kc4JhJ1aXM8s9sm8rCH0iounkhfmeG8jaG7ixPpbGy2QcWJq1t2634mxiHVpUSqvc4K3WfCEZYmdyyhncOJmLE0WoC3K7E9MWOZMlqSVuIDjzs9JC7281IEIdapWBg0CdIze3eLBrgoPEc0tEJCnh9WxE3yE7aGqTslV7d/s1152/Earl01.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1152" data-original-width="770" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6nzP91bNBUDK3JtWV6SU9p_Kc4JhJ1aXM8s9sm8rCH0iounkhfmeG8jaG7ixPpbGy2QcWJq1t2634mxiHVpUSqvc4K3WfCEZYmdyyhncOJmLE0WoC3K7E9MWOZMlqSVuIDjzs9JC7281IEIdapWBg0CdIze3eLBrgoPEc0tEJCnh9WxE3yE7aGqTslV7d/s320/Earl01.jpg" width="214" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Dennis Franz in our "Dead" Earl makeup.<br /></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p>They couldn't get Dennis Franz to us in time to make a life case so that the makeup would perfectly fit his face. To be honest, I am not sure we would have had time to fit a life cast into the day if we wanted to. We selected a face cast that we hoped would be close to Dennis' face and went from there. The boss was focused on sculpting the makeup. <g class="gr_ gr_1000105 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_hide gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Correctness multiReplace replaceWithoutSep replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="1000105" id="1000105">It was a strightforward makeup: one piece that included the forehead, nose, checks, and chin - basically all of his face.</g> <g class="gr_ gr_1000110 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_hide gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Correctness multiReplace replaceWithoutSep replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="1000110" id="1000110">While the boss was sculpting I was busy getting the set kit together and orginaized.</g> We had one chance to do this right, and as we would be on set far from the shop, I needed to ensure that the set kit had 150% of what we needed. <g class="gr_ gr_1000126 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_hide gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Correctness multiReplace replaceWithoutSep replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="1000126" id="1000126">Paints, glues, makeup of all kinds, various extra application pieces to hide edges, and all the other gear and equipment required on set to solve any and all emergancies.</g> The sculpting took hours, as they usually do. <g class="gr_ gr_1000169 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_hide gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Correctness multiReplace replaceWithoutSep replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="1000169" id="1000169">Under ideal, or even average, conditions the sculpting could have easily taken days to get all the subtle forms figured out and to add the level of detail needed for up close inspection.</g> But we didn't have the time for all that, and the boss did his thing and sculpted the makeup at lightning speed. If I recall correctly, I was also running errands to get things we might need or were running low on, as well as picking up meals for the two of us. </p><p><g class="gr_ gr_1000189 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_hide gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Correctness multiReplace replaceWithoutSep replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="1000189" id="1000189">Finally, when the sculplure was completed it was time to mold it.</g> Molding a sculpt was always... ALWAYS the most stressful part of the process for me. This was the time you could really mess it all up. To this day, I do not miss making molds. I prepped for the mold process, and the two of us knocked it out as quickly as possible. That said, the process does take a certain amount of time, no matter how fast you would like it to go. At the end of the day, you still have to wait for the plaster to set up so that you can move to the next part of the process. We were slinging plaster in the wee hours of the night, but we finished it, and the mold was sound. </p><p>One of the things that really saved us was that we were already commonly using gelatin for makeup. We would have never had the time if we needed to use foam latex and bake the makeup for hours. With gelatin, you only needed to microwave it till it was liquid, pour it into the mold, and VERY quickly close it and clamp it shut. <g class="gr_ gr_1000174 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_hide gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Correctness multiReplace replaceWithoutSep replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="1000174" id="1000174">You had to be careful to watch out of the molten gelatin ozzing out of the seams when the mold clamped shut.</g> The gelatin would be set and ready in minutes if you were in a huge hurry to get it open. We gave it time to cool and de-molded the makeup. <g class="gr_ gr_1000131 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_hide gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Correctness multiReplace replaceWithoutSep replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="1000131" id="1000131">It looked good and had good edged.</g> <g class="gr_ gr_1000176 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_hide gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Correctness multiReplace replaceWithoutSep replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="1000176" id="1000176">To safegaurd the day we removed the first makeup and poured a second that we kept in the sealed mold that we brought with us, just in case something went wrong.</g> You ALWAYS had to cover your butt in situations like this, you only got one chance, and if things went wrong, it was horrible for you.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSi-kGSrgAuGalwvDCEI1AkrIshcm14g3itM3sAi9oQyR-HXsIyRKQV3yCUxvB3YIIVpIB3DxQSNCfiBtN9kFGxdlZNHG_OeCe6_nA_ygdXaeHW5HTdBNmqRiuIlRGGjYBaVPvcpzvPJpkgdyFNC0ziC3JP65oIkDfTSBcnjPyMeOPwhC1zKxA8lxFkBdp/s1152/Earl02.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="770" data-original-width="1152" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSi-kGSrgAuGalwvDCEI1AkrIshcm14g3itM3sAi9oQyR-HXsIyRKQV3yCUxvB3YIIVpIB3DxQSNCfiBtN9kFGxdlZNHG_OeCe6_nA_ygdXaeHW5HTdBNmqRiuIlRGGjYBaVPvcpzvPJpkgdyFNC0ziC3JP65oIkDfTSBcnjPyMeOPwhC1zKxA8lxFkBdp/s320/Earl02.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Again, Dennis Franz doing his best to be a good "Dead" Earl.<br /></div><p>We had two makeups and a complete set kit, so the only thing left to do was head to set. We ended up there around 5 am, if I remember correctly, which meant we were there early and had time for breakfast. One of my consistent memories of LA was how good the food was on set - no matter how big or small the project was, there was great food to be had. <g class="gr_ gr_1000118 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_hide gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Correctness multiReplace replaceWithoutSep replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="1000118" id="1000118">After breakfast, Dennis arrived to the makeup trailer and it was time to start our day... that had already been going for nearly 24 hours.</g> </p><p>Dennis was super awesome and a real treat to meet.

The portion of the video with "Dead" Earl did not require a lot of filming as he just needed to shuffle a bit as the ensemble danced and made merry all around. <g class="gr_ gr_1000198 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_hide gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Correctness multiReplace replaceWithoutSep replaceWithoutSep" data-gr-id="1000198" id="1000198">We listened to one small section of the music over, and over, and over, and over, AND OVER until they got all the coverage for the sceen.</g> And with that, it was a wrap for Dennis and Earl. Makeups generally come off quicker than they go on, and this was no exception. I think the three of us wanted to have it off ASAP. As we had been up for over a day and a half, things were getting a little blurry both in the moment and looking back at my memories. We got one last meal as we left set and returned to the shop. I actually do not remember where we filmed that video. We dumped the set kit and equipment at the shop to deal with on Tuesday (we worked Saturday, and the boss decided we should have a whole weekend), and we both headed out to find some sleep. I slept till Sunday afternoon, and it was glorious. </p><p>In time, we got a copy of the video sent to the shop to see the fruits of our labor. It was a lot of work and two full days, but for a few moments, you can see our work in the video. The makeup was not bad, and in fact, we reused it for the zombie chef in the Bogus Witch Project, but we had to make it very quickly, and the boss had always wanted <i>more</i> from it. It was a fun time in the middle of a very crazy part of my life that I am happy to look back on and share with you. Let me know if you have any questions about this!<br /></p><p>That is all for another exciting Monday on the blog. See you back here on Wednesday!
