For the 5th year now, I've been joining a cadre of intimidatingly talented artists at the Racebrook Lodge in the Berkshires. A week of cool folks and sick artwork. In between hikes and excursions to pick up organic pizza (do try the fig and prosciutto), we turn a barn into a working studio.
While I'd love to post pics of all the work created this week, I'm pretty sure most of it was under some super-secret nondisclosure agreement. I can, however, show some obligatory "artists just kickin't it" shots...

| Jordu Schell being badass. (This is actually from last year. His creation this year was an undead asian man with bad teeth) |
 |
| Top: A rare shot of me actually working. Middle: Talking shop with Justin Gerard (although it looks more like he's telling me to settle down) Bottom: Dan Dos Santos and I watching Michael Whelan work his voodoo. |
 |
| Tony Palumbo, Winona Nelson, Julie Bell and Boris Vallejo working in their cluster of awesome. |
 |
| And, of course, Lars Grant-West's one-eyed/watery brained Frenchie, Mumpkin. And, Boris & Julie's much more dignified Izzy. |
I got a good handful of work accomplished this year, thanks to an abundance of rain keeping us from wandering into the woods. I even got to bust out some oils and remind myself how much more comfortable I am with watercolors.
 |
| Now people won't just have to assume I'm a nerd when I draw in public. They'll know. |
 |
| I now have a solid number of old lady samples. I'm ready for that retirement home gravytrain to come rolling in. |
Thanks for reading!
