Firstly, I would like to thank any of you that came by our table at this year's Detroit FanFare convention. It's great getting the chance to interact with other creators and fans alike. Caught up with a couple of former college classmates and made the acquaintance of a few artists. Even spoke with bibliographer Randall Scott of the Michigan State University Library, who purchased a copy of 'The Uniques Tales' to add in their archives, which is the largest collection of comics ]]> http://silentsketcher.deviantart.com/journal/Detroit-FanFare-and-a-few-other-items-259258644 http://silentsketcher.deviantart.com/journal/Detroit-FanFare-and-a-few-other-items-259258644 Mon, 19 Sep 2011 17:54:48 PDT Detroit FanFare, and a few other items nonadult journals/personal silentsketcher http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/s/i/silentsketcher.jpg?7 Copyright 2011-2013 ~silentsketcher
Getting down to business, I wanted to let my fellow deviants in Michigan, Illinois, Ohio, and others nearby that I'll be attending this year's Detroit FanFare. You can find me at table 613 along with former college-mate and good friend Jason Westlake this weekend, so be sure to catch us there! Likewise, be sure to pick up a copy of FanFare's exclusive artists sketchbook, "Re-Imagining Detroit," which includes my "The Mighty Tool Man Taylor" http://silentsketcher.deviantart.com/#/d48hh44 drawing. Nab a sketchbook and I'll be more than glad to sign it.

After conferring with my former college mate, Jason, my planned convention appearances have been altered. As much as I would've liked to, it doesn't look like I'll be attending the Motor City Comic Con in May. There's some sentimental feelings that I have towards the show, since it was my first comic convention, both in visiting and attending as a guest in Artist Alley. If things turn out for the better, perhaps Detroit FanFare in September will be a possibility.

Well, let's see, for starters I've moved my art studio space into a larger room. About time, too, because I couldn't make myself work anymore inside that closet.

Since I've not been able to manage drumming up much business, I'm keeping my commission prices at half-off indefinitely. That is, portraits, full/upper bodies, and backgrounds will cost half what they're listed as below. The special price reduction for commissions including over three characters will remain the same. So it's still $5 off each with line art or shaded art and $7 off each with digitally colored art.

Like it says below, just contact me via deviantArt's note system or at my business e-mail address, andrew.shirey@yahoo.com. If you are the rare sort willing to pay the original full price, I would appreciate it greatly.
