NO Longer Attending Gen Con

Due to events beyond our control, we are no longer able to attend Gen Con this year. My deepest apologies to those planning on seeing me there. I would not be canceling unless it was absolutely necessary. My next appearance this year will be at IX in October, and I hope to see you there! In addition, I will be taking a brief pause on the blog and a bit of social media until the dust settles.

I will see you back here as soon as possible. Thank you for understanding! Until then...

GEN CON THIS WEEK! And the last surprise!

Gen Con 2025 is this week! Starting Thursday in Indianapolis, IN, are the best four days in gaming, and you will find me in the Gen Con Art Show all four days with my monsters and more! I have been sharing all the new things and surprises I will have with me at Gen Con this year, but with this final post before the convention, I have one more surprise. That last surprise, of course, would be MtG artist proofs!

Come find me at Gen Con Art Show table 50!

Near the front of the Art Show, you will find me and all my monsters!  

I have made the time to create some new Magic the Gathering artist proofs with original art on their backs. These are always popular, and I wanted to have some fun with them this time and not recreate the art on the cards' fronts, but instead draw and paint some things I wanted to. You will find characters from summer films, mutated turtles, pocket monsters, and dragons. Something for everyone! These scans do not do the cards justice, but have a look at what you will find at Gen Con 2025.

 Magic the Gathering Artist Proofs with original art on their backs!

Get yours at Gen Con, July 31st through August 3rd, in Indianapolis.

And as mentioned before, here are all the other new surprises I will have with me at Gen Con 2025, in addition to the whole of the Grand Bazaar and all the monsters held within.

Get yours at Gen Con, July 31st through August 3rd, in Indianapolis.

The Mystery Print Bundles!

In each bundle, you will find three prints from my gaming work that are no longer available elsewhere. There is a high probability of finding a print with an original sketch in the bundles. There are also some bundles with a bonus fourth print and one bundle with a certificate to win an original drawing (You must return the certificate to me in person at a show to get the original drawing.)! 

Get yours at Gen Con, July 31st through August 3rd, in Indianapolis.

 

The Crest of Ethra stickers!

Get yours at Gen Con, July 31st through August 3rd, in Indianapolis.

If you are attending, I hope to see you at table 50 in the Gen Con Art Show!

That is all for another exciting Monday on the blog. I will see you back here after Gen Con! Until then...

New Monster Originals Coming to Gen Con!

With Gen Con next week, not only am I bringing my Mystery Print Bundles and NEW Ethra Crest stickers, debuting new art from The Grand Bazaar of Ethra VanDalia, but I will also have with me some new monster originals! I will have at Gen Con three illustrations that are based on some of my favorite monsters. These pencil, ink, marker, and acrylic images are on 9x12 illustration board and come in two varieties: Beholder and Mind Flayer. After the attention a piece I did last year for a charity auction received, I decided it would be fun to make more pieces in the style. These were super fun to make and a nice break from my usual work. If these are well received, I might just have to make some more!

Gen Con 2025 - NEXT WEEK!

Gen Con 2025 begins next week! While the convention runs from July 31 - August 3rd, it starts earlier for those exhibiting. I have a travel day and a set-up day next week before the first person arrives at my table in the Art Show. I have a lot planned for the show in addition to all of the usual monsters and fiends that accompany me to shows. I will have many new secrets to share with you later this week through next Monday, but for now, I wanted to share where you can find me and one known surprise for the show.

Come find me at Gen Con Art Show table 50!

Near the front of the Art Show, you will find me and all my monsters!  

Already announced, I will have my Mystery Print Bundles with me at Gen Con for the first time! They were a hit at Pensacon and Infinity Con, and I am thrilled to bring them to Gen Con. In each bundle, you will find three prints from my gaming work that are no longer available elsewhere. There is a high probability of finding a print with an original sketch in the bundles. There are also some bundles with a bonus fourth print and one bundle with a certificate to win an original drawing (You must return the certificate to me in person at a show to get the original drawing.)! 

The Mystery Print Bundles!

Get yours at Gen Con next week, July 31st through August 3rd, in Indianapolis.

Speaking of drawings, here is a look at just a few of the many sketches that can be found on the borders of some of the prints. I did the math wrong, and now over half of the bundles have prints with sketches!

Are you feeling lucky? Will you find a bundle with an original sketch!?

 

Also already mentioned are my brand new Crest of Ethra stickers! They debuted at Infinity Con and now those attending Gen Con can get their hands on one of these as well. Proudly adorn your belongings and yourself with these vinyl stickers.

Get yours at Gen Con next week, July 31st through August 3rd, in Indianapolis.

There are more surprises to share, and those will be starting up on Wednesday here on the blog!

Inifinity Con 2025 Recap

This past weekend was Infinity Con 2025. It is always great to be a part of a local event like this. This year felt super busy, and there were a ton of vendors, guests, artists, activities, panels, and more. I barely saw any of the show as I was always busy at the booth talking to people. Late Sunday, I had a person come up to the booth and tell me that in that moment, it was the first time they had seen me without people at the booth. It was a blast to talk to everyone, catch up with friends, and meet new ones. Once again, I shared the stage with Mark Maddox to talk about monsters and the changing landscape of the industry and our careers. Always a fun time! I would love to tell you more about the con beyond my booth, but like I said, I was just too busy to see much of it while it was going on. I did manage to take a few pictures of the con.

I was thrilled with my location at the show. I was at the end of a row and near a busy path for attendees.

I do love myself a corner booth!

These are the droids I was looking for. The local 501st always puts on a good show.

The AWESOME Tony Buoni gifted me with some treasures!

He is a great guy and has amazing taste in records. 

As always, I got to see R2. He was the life of our holiday parties when we used to have them.

A big thanks to Carlin Trammel for moderating the panel with Mark and me.

Carlin, Mark, and I after the panel - they didn't kick us out!

Romans were here...

Another look at the booth on Sunday.

At the least photogenic moment, I took some photos from my booth out into the con. These photos do not remotely do the show justice. Especially on Saturday, at times it was PACKED!

A huge thanks go out to David Heringer for having me as a guest and hosting such a fun event, and all those who attended Infinity Con 2025 and stopped by to learn more about the Grand Bazaar! I hope to see you all at Infinity Con 2026!

That's all for another exciting Wednesday on the blog. See you back here on Friday! Until then...

Infinity Con 2025 Starts TOMORROW!

Infinity Con starts tomorrow in Tallahassee, FL, at the Donald Tucker Civic Center. I will be there with all my monsters and will be surrounded by a lot of other awesome guests, creators, and vendors. I am looking forward to seeing a lot of familiar faces and to meeting many new ones. I hope to see you out there, and do not forget the return of my Mystery Print Bundles!

Come see me and many others at Infinity Con starting tomorrow, July 12th, in Tallahassee, FL, at the Donald Tucker Civic Center! 

 

You will find me and all my monsters at The Abyss booth #1!

And if you have been attending Infinity Con in recent years, you will find me in more or less the same spot I have been previously.

 

Hold the presses! An unexpected surprise item arrived just in time for the con. STICKERS! For the first time, I will have a small number of Ethra Crest stickers at the shows this summer.  

Be one of the first to get your hands on an official Grand Bazaar sticker at Infinity Con this weekend!

Did someone say Mystery Print Bundles!? I will offer MORE discontinued prints in mystery bundles, allowing collectors to obtain prints that are no longer available or were never made available. Each mystery bundle contains three randomly selected prints. All of the prints come signed, and if you are lucky, you may find a print with an ORIGINAL DRAWING along the border, a SURPRISE FOURTH PRINT, or a CERTIFICATE FOR A FREE DRAWING.

The return of the Mystery Print Bundles!

Get yours at Infinity Con this weekend, July 12th and 13th, in Tallahassee, FL.

Here is a look at just a few of the many drawings on prints you might find in the bundles! I made way more drawings on prints than I meant to, so you have a high chance of finding one.

Are you feeling lucky?

If you are, you might find one of these original drawings in your mystery bundle!

That's all for another exciting week on the blog. See you back here next week! Until then...

Mystery Print Bundles Returning for Infinity Con and Gen Con!

I am pleased to share one of the surprises I have in store for you at Infinity Con this weekend, July 12th and 13th! After their massive success at Pensacon, I will be offering MORE discontinued prints in mystery bundles, allowing collectors to obtain prints that are no longer available or were never made available. Each mystery bundle contains three randomly selected prints. All of the prints come signed, and if you are lucky, you may find a print with an ORIGINAL DRAWING along the border, a SURPRISE FOURTH PRINT, or a CERTIFICATE FOR A FREE DRAWING. 

The return of the Mystery Print Bundles!

Get yours at Infinity Con this weekend, July 12th and 13th, in Tallahassee, FL.

Each pack has a potential value of up to $200, and you can obtain one at the convention for only $50! I have a great selection of prints available, and they run the gamut of my work over the years. Included are many fan favorites, high-profile projects, and hidden gems. There will be some of the same prints previously offered at Pensacon, as well as many new print offerings!  Prints available in the bundles may include:

• STAR WARS (LOTS!!!)
• DUNGEONS & DRAGONS (LOTS!!!)
• A GAME OF THRONES
• PATHFINDER
• LEGEND OF THE FIVE RINGS
• CALL OF CTHULHU 
• KAIJUDO
• Various MONSTERS
• The GRAND BAZAAR of ETHRA VANDALIA

Each bundle comes sealed, so there is no peeking. As before, I have drawn on the lower corners of many of the prints. To be honest, I did my math wrong and ended up drawing on WAY more prints than I should have, meaning that your chances of getting an original drawing on your print are very high. I think nearly half of the bundles have prints with drawings. 

In addition to the drawings on the prints, there are bundles that contain a surprise fourth print. And there is a single bundle that includes a certificate for a free drawing. You MUST return the certificate to me at the convention to get the drawing. I will not be shipping the drawing to the winner. I will repeat that - if you find the winning certificate in your bundle, you must return it to me at the convention to receive it.  

Here is a look at just a few of the many drawings on prints that you might find in the bundles!

Are you feeling lucky?

If you are, you might find one of these original drawings in your mystery bundle!

While it is possible, I am confident that I will not sell out at Infinity Con. If we did, that would be amazing, but we planned to have plenty left for Gen Con. It is at Gen Con that I expect to sell out, so if you want to get your hands on these, I will see you at Infinity Con or Gen Con this summer.

My Mietze got involved this time, and you will notice his face stamped on this grouping to mark it as the second wave of print bundles.

I have a lot of bundles to offer this summer, and many have prints with drawings on them!

That's all for another exciting Wednesday on the blog. See you back here on Friday! Until then...
