understand that I will probably be moved from the spot I had the last two years; I’ll post news as it comes to me.

I am working on my first ever Dealer’s Room experience at Dragon Con! Look for me there!
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 …
Lots going on: prints to get framed (behind schedule), planning to do (behind schedule), work to get sorted before I go (behind schedule), and Power Point presentations to prepare.
I have the first one ready though, and I’m looking forward to this. After the con, I’m going to visit Duane Sovyn’s 4th grade class in Calgary and talk to them about dragons. I guess they’re pretty excited; they sent me this (click on the picture to get the full view):
Classy Class
Pretty cool, huh? See you soon, guys!

This is my first post of news from Comic Con … which is bad, since someone else actually put it together. Shawn Speakman is an author and friend in the Seattle area who did some reporting from Comic Con for Suvudu. He arranged for Tobias Buckell and I to meet and do an interview. Tobias is a great guy and one helluva writer. I did the covers for his books Crystal Rain, Ragamuffin, and Sly Mongoose.
Check out the interview here! Or copy and paste: http://www.suvudu.com/2008/08/geeks-tobias-buckell-todd-lock.html
More to come … I hope …
