My MFM Panel, August 29th
17 years ago
Mephit Fur Meet - Memphis, TN is home to my first art track panel.
Now, this panel is not at all the type in which I will stand infront of a small bunch of people and try to give them pointers based on my own experiences and art work. Actually, I hope to do something a little more for the community that I feel will be profoundly helpful. It is my belief that everyone within them has the potential to become an artist, and the panel itself will be a stepping stone in the direction of how one can do that.
I've learned that talent is a fiction, and is merely a labling for someone whom has spent more time working on their skills and attemping to better themselves. I will be breaking down various elements of this, as well as pointing people in the direction of how they can begin, or even carry further their own venture into the artistic world. Also, I will go over some observations I've made about the fandom, and also the find of feedback one will earn from the community based on what they produce.
There is a lot to go over, so I'll also be using my writing skills to put together a fine pamplet for people to look over and read well after the panel. Within it will be notes on everything I will say, as well as a way to continue onwards on your own to develop your skills in your own time. With it will be some pointers on who to listen to, how to accept critique, and also what books may be insightful reading for those looking for some interesting ways of looking at things.
Hopefully some of you will be dropping in at MFM this year, and if so be sure to drop in on my Panel. The title will be You Are the Artist, at least it should be like that. I'm paired up with another panel, hosted by someone else - their panel is You Can Draw. So be sure to drop in on that combo to learn a thing or two! Cheers!

The title can be either You Are an Artist or You Are the Artist, depending on whom is writing the schedule. But the Panel in Conference room 9 from 3:30-4p on Friday. It is right after the "You CAN draw" panel. Short, but I hope to make it a sweet little program worth the 30 minutes of someone's time.
