I just finished attending a webinar hosted by the KS/MO chapter of the SCBWI. I have been doing illustration long enough now that a lot of these seminars (in person and online) are sort of reviewing things I’ve already picked up. But I did get a few points that were sort of new, or at least good to be reminded of. And it’s always good to get out there (metaphorically because it was on zoom) and actually discuss things.
The subjects were picture book dummies and working with art departments.
There was a lot of information, but the advice I took away was:
Category: Conventions
Exhibiting at KantCon
I’ll have an exhibit table at KantCon in Overland Park, KS on July 24th thru the 26th.
They call him… Tim.
KantCon is a local gaming convention that my good friend Tim Neppel is attending. (Stick with me, there is a point.) He’s created a Monte Python themed adventure game called Adventure Quest and plans to run it at the con. Two of my illustrations are part of the game.
Cave of Caerbannog
When he was offered an extra table, he generously invited me to share the space with him. (Thank you, Tim!)
The Cemetery–Wait. Is that a weeping angel? I didn’t draw that!
Unfortunately, I’m not in town that weekend, but Tim and his wife Hope were willing to hold down the fort in my absence. I’ll have a portfolio on display as well as some free cards and my contact info. Maybe some artwork, depending on how much space they give me.
If you’ll be attending, drop by and play a round with Tim and take a look through my portfolio.
