In my mailbox today was a message from Gini at GinisMagic.com. Gini does very nice photo restoration and enhancement, including Custom Fantasy Portraits. She also maintains a blog. She has featured my website along with 9 other artists in a post she has called Top Ten Fantasy Art Sites. There is some really spectacular stuff, including Rebecca Guay, Philip Straub, Jonathon Earl Bowser, and some new artists for me like Julie Dillon and Yuehui Tang. I spent a couple of hours I didn’t have there today, and regretted not one moment of it. Check it out! Thanks, Gini!

A good friend of mine (and damn talented man, too), Anthony Waters, is participating in a concept art workshop in just a couple of weekends. He writes:

There’s going to be a concept art workshop hosted by the Laguna College of Art and Design in Laguna, California the first full weekend in February, and we want you!

I’ve linked to my DA page for the flyer; in case it doesn’t work, I’m including my URLs and the school contact information too. The event will take place on Saturday, February 7 and Sunday, February, 8 from 9:00 am to 4:00 pm in studio 9, at the LCAD campus. Lunch will be provided.

The workshop will feature presentations by Anthony Waters (that would be me), Dean Deakyne, Farzad Varahrayan and Joe Peterson.

The cost of the event is $235. A non-refundable deposit of $100 is required by Friday, January 30. The remaining balance is due Friday, February 6 at noon. Please contact Kerri Redeker at 949-376-6000 ext. 240 or kredeker@lagunacollege.edu to provide your payment. She accepts Visa, Mastercard, check, and cash.

There you go. Come on down, it’s gonna rock!

Anthony is one of the most creative concept guys I know. He was a staff artist doing concept work for Magic: the Gathering when I first moved to Washington to join the Wizards of the Coast staff. We’ve been great friends since.

If he says this house is gonna rock, then it’s gonna.

Also, be sure to check out Anthony’s website. Look for the “Canyon of Guts.”

He’s a sick man.

That’s why I like him …
