My piece for the Magic: the Gathering anniversary project is finished and submitted. The AD extended the deadline by a week and that was a great help. My text was edited and all I missed was a comma (Thank you spell check!). We should be starting up a Kickstarter campaign any day now. I've seen about ten of the other pieces from the other artists involved and it's going to be great! The Magic collectors should be very pleased with it. I will show it as soon as I get the OK. The waiting is the hardest part right now.
The oil paper I used for this piece is terrific. I can use both oil paint and colored pencils with very few problems. What I like best is that this combination of mediums allows for some pretty significant changes and some great effects. It would have been a very different piece otherwise. I was freer to try different effects for the background and it took maybe... four or five tries before I was happy with it. There was no way I could have done that with the dyes.
Well, I have a commission on the board now and I better get back to it. It is a small black and white portrait of a client's brother as a Wizard. He wants it as a Christmas gift, and since likenesses are not my forte I have to work substantially harder. It is turning out very well so far. I'll put it on my website when it's done.
The next show for me will be on February 10th with the Stratford Arts Guild. "Art in the Studio" show/sale will be from 1-4:30PM at Roger Salls Studio, 80 Ferry Blvd., Suite 106, Stratford, CT 06615. If you can make it, I'd love to see you.
