Gencon & Returning from the Land of Ice and Fire
8 years ago
Whew, my ridiculously busy summer is rushing towards an end! In the interests of making this journal short enough that I actually finish it, I'll go by topic:
Travels Abroad: I just made it back from my month-long stint of hiking, backpacking and an artist's residency in Iceland. It both gave to and took from me in unexpected ways, and on the whole made for a long and unusual journey that will take some time to fully digest. In the mean time, I've already finished and am continuing to work on art inspired by the landscape, culture, and my experiences of both.
Gencon: I leave for Gencon tomorrow evening! I'll be at table 59 in the art show and am very much looking forward to the event. I'll be debuting some of my new mini originals I did during my Iceland travels, and will be fully restocked on playmats (which tend to mostly sell out at the end of each con, so grab one early on!), AND I'm offering 10% off all sales during the first two hours of the show (10am to 12pm on Thursday), which includes canvas prints and originals!
As soon as I get back from Gencon next week, I'll be mailing out the playmat pre-orders taken during Anthrocon, so you can expect those on your doorstep by the end of August.
Commissions!: Progress has been slow through this year of my learning that 11 conventions is too many for me to reasonably balance in my life, but commissions will be re-opening very soon! I don't have a very long queue, but I'll still be taking the last two weeks of August to make progress on pre-existing commissions. I'll post both here on FA and on social media when I have a more exact date, but in the mean time you can expect commissions to re-open in the first week of September. As always, you can find my commission page with examples and my current rate on my website. Feel free to email me with any questions or initial inquiries at cael.illus[at]gmail.com-- please do NOT send me an FA note, I'll only tell you to email me instead if you do so. Thank you in advance!
Lastly, I will be offering a $5/hr discount off of my usual rate for characters which are avian and/or trans or non-binary! I love working with such characters and connect personally with them, so I want to encourage more folks to come to me with them. If you have a friend who has a character that fits that description and might be interested, feel free to pass this info on to them! It would be much appreciated <3
That's it for now-- thank you and I hope you're having a great summer!
