I have lurked on deviantART for years, researching art to use as costuming references. I am also an avid fan and collector of art. Currently, I'm also the co-director for the JordanCon Art Show, along with Paul Bielaczyc of Aradani Studios (or
~kalessaradan, as he's known around these parts). He's the Rand to my Cadsuane. :-)
JordanCon is a fantasy literature convention founded in honor of the late author, Robert Jordan, who was the author of the best-selling, Hugo-nomiated Wheel of Time series. JordanCon features seven tracks of simultaneous programming, an Art Show, a Dealers Hall, and charity events benefiting the Mayo Clinic and other worthwhile charities. Past guests have included Harriet McDougal, Brandon Sanderson, Mary Robinette Kowal, Sam Weber, David Wong, Jana G. Oliver, Emilie Bush, David B. Coe, Eugie Foster, Seanan McGuire, Michael Whelan, Larry Elmore, Saladin Ahmed, Todd Lockwood, Catherine Asaro, John Picacio, Patrick Rothfuss, Charles E. Gannon, and Stephen Hickman.
JordanCon 10: "SeanCon 2: The Return" will be held April 20-22, 2018. at the Crown Plaza Ravinia in Atlanta, GA. Once again we will have an Art Show featuring fantastic art from a variety of fantasy and sci-fi artists - including our Artist Guest of Honor, Stephanie Law - as well as an impressive list of programming. In addition to Stephanie Law, our Author Guest of Honor is Jason Denzel, author of the novel "Mystic Dragon" and founder of Dragonmount.
We'd love to add you (and your art) to our list of attending artists. For more information on Jordancon, just click the link below or send me a message! You'll find all the details around the Art Show in the Art Show section of the top navigation bar.
