Although I am still recovering from some respiratory infection
I picked up, my trip to Illuxcon was a worthwhile one. I received very positive
feedback to the work I presented at the showcase Friday night.
I had fun
reconnecting with some old acquaintances and meeting some new ones.
The best part of course is the art. This
really is the convention for the best in imaginative realism. Many of the top illustrators and artists had displays in the main hall and there were many talented people at the showcase on Friday.
The Wilshires are building something special with this
convention, which is now going into its 6th year and I hope it
continues to provide a venue for the best traditional work in the genre.
A couple of the people who had attended previously, told me they thought the show now has a higher ratio of artists looking for work. I hope they can keep the emphasis on being a showcase for traditional painting and sculpture and make it the place to buy imaginative art originals.
The paintings that were exhibited are on
my website and for sale along with some other pieces that I didn't have room for in my display at the convention.
