OK, since no one has posted their art yet, I will be the first. My first finished piece in a while. Next will be my finished IMC illo. Only about 2 weeks left for that.

Our own Aaron Miller was mentioned as a GenCon find by Jon Schindehette in his ArtOder blog!

Dave McKean just posted this on Twitter.

It is performance art, sequential art. Is is animation done in real time?

I'll tell you what it is.

Amazing.

Sidebar Nation and Ninja Mountain Podcasts

There quite a few podcasts covering the topics of illustration and comic book art.
A couple of my favorites are Sidebar Nation and Ninja Mountain.

Sidebar Nation, http://www.sidebarnation.com/, is hosted by Dwight and Swain, two thoroughly knowledgeable guys who have a deep love of comics from way back in the day. There podcasts are interviews with a who's who of comics, graphic novels, concept art and illustration. This week, for their 101st episode, they interview the incredible Greg Manchess.

Ninja Mountain, http://ninjamountain.blogspot.com/, a loose collective of illustrators discussing all the nuts and bolts of illustrating sci-fi/fantasy. The podcasts is always interesting. As a group they are in different stages in their careers so the podcasts give you a broad down-to-earth view of the topics.

Both these podcasts are available at their blogs and through iTunes.
