Brain Twist Press

I’m going to be at MidSouthCon 2010, in Memphis TN starting next Friday, March 12-14.  I’m getting a dealer’s table and everything, like a big grown-up artist.  Seriously, I’ve been planning to do conventions like this for awhile, but this is going to be the first science fiction convention I’ve ever attended, much less tried to sell my artwork.  Unfortunately someone showed me clips of Klingon Karaoke, and now I’m a little nervuous.  But at the same time, I think the Zulu Death Mask fits in with the alien-warrior race mentality, so it’s all good.

I’ve got a short list of other conventions I’m hoping to attend.  If there’s a particularly awesome con that you think I should attend, drop me a line.

One new print, another state-of-mind relief block.  I also decided to try and change things up a little and do a pen and ink drawing.  I like the results, but it’s a mixed bag because I only have one and I’d hate to part with it.  Hence someone will have to pay more, I suppose.  For the Bovinoids I wound up doing a lot of research at peopleofwalmart.com

Penny Arcade announced they were hiring for an assistant designer, and I think I’d be a great fit for the job.  In addition to all the stuff already here, I created this to go along with my resume.  I’ve also been getting ready for my art show tonight with the CBA, and I’m heading to Atlanta to morrow to see Jonathan Coulton in concert.  It’s been a busy week, but I got this done in an evening.  Which I think says a lot about my efficiency.

New prints available!  One is a color version of the original Ameressiah print, which I just realized wasn’t shown on the site.  I also finished the newest chronicle of the Ameressiah’s adventures:  Operation Extintioning!  The other is a newly colored Hobo Crab, which I just started making this past week.

The biggest announcement is that my store at Etsy is now up an running. The whooshing sound of progress rings in my ears.

Next week, Friday the 15 I’ll be exhibiting my artwork as a part of an Artist Market with the Huntsville Creative Business Alliance.

I’m also looking to attend some sci-fi conventions in the next few months, mostly in the southeast.  Hopefully there’ll be more to post about that in the next few weeks.  If you have any suggestions for a convention I should be attending, drop me a line at brian[at]braintwist.net.
