FaerieCon + Litho update

First off, here's all that's left of my Marauders pumpkin:

Got to go FaerieCon this year, & got to meet Charles de Lint! He's one of my favorite authors.

Charles Vess giving a bit of an art history lesson:


They had a nice free afternoon tea type thing, which was great.

Meanwhile, litho:






They still aren't finished, but as of now:

Three colors!




And i got painful blisters from all the ink rolling. Fun times!

This year's pumpkins

Today, finally carved the pumpkins.

And the foliage was really amazing, too.



Halloween for me = the Marauders, so my personal pumpkin is pretty much always Marauders flavored, since at least a few years back.








My father bought one, but wasn't going to carve it. Lame. So i made a two-faced pumpkin.

First is the "Scopophilia" diptych:


And the first contact sheet for the current "light" assignment (the last one all the way on the right in the very top row, i really want to make into a print).

And these are all the current litho prints. First is Actaeon, again:

The Actaeon counteretch:

When printing Ammit, there was one that i ran through twice to try and get the darks to go darker, and it made a kind of double effect, which i thought was cool enough to keep the print around & give it a name.

And Ammit:

And the most recently completed one, Skadi, from Norse mythos/religion:


And some sketchbook stuff:
