Well as all of you should know by now, I have some new works waiting to be posted in DA. The reason for the delay is because I am leary now of how posted art affects my sales on my home web site. Though I do enjoy shearing my work with you all, I must consider my career and my pocket book a bit more closely in our stingy economy. After all; I myself have had to tighten the belt as far as spending is concerned. With that I have over 25 new pieces of art ready for posting. We shall see how I will display them for the world to see. Most likely a smattering here and there just to tease you. Ultimately That is to drive people/customers to the home site where they all my new works to be posted with all the splendor they deserve.

On another front I will have some limited edition pieces up at the "MileHicon 41", in Denver Colorado this weekend, Oct 23rd-25th. Tiffany and I will have our works under our banner of Unnatural Forces. Stop by and see our newest prints in the print shop too.

Sadly the Jim Baen's Universe magazine will be closing up shop in April. I have had the fortune to have the last chance to illustrate a short story for Mike Resnick, "If the frame fits: A Jake Masters Story" And it is a very good read for those of you who enjoy a murder mystery in a Science Fiction setting.

I have also had the privilege to do character and monster images for an online RPG called "Algadon". It is still in the Beta phase but it is very fun to play as well as fun to illustrate the critters... for me anyway. So far I've created over 20 characters, monsters and locations with more on the way. Go check it out.

Well that is it for the Lycan Knight this time. Take it easy!

The gods have seen fit to make me work my butt off this summer. With over 11 images created since May I have been a busy Lycan. Now with the Wizard World Con Chicago show in next week I am a little worn thin already. Printing and bagging prints, all the way to framing and preparing art for Art Shows... The magic of being self employed. I welcome the work totally and the cash that follows makes it all good. All the years of study, practice and hard work is finally beginning to pay off. For that I am exceedingly grateful!

We are ready to open our show with a bang! With new Tees to debut in Chicago this August 6th-9th and loads of new art for sale, I'm very excited to show the comic pro's and bro's at wizard world a whole new level of artistic awesome. Sorry guys you will have to wait to see the new stuff till after the show, but it will be worth the wait. Come and see us and be the first to check them out in person. We will be in the artist ally table #4430 in the Donald E. Stevens Convention Center in Rosemont IL.

RavynEdge and I have just completed the largest Meta poster prints ( 27 inches Wide X 38 inches tall. Laminated and framed to wondrous perfection by the folks at "Academy Frame Company".)we have ever made. These monstrous beauties will make the trip to Pueblo CO tomorrow for the chance to be in the Colorado State Fair Fine art show. The hand delivery entries are due tomorrow and the Jury process will begin on Monday. Wish us luck...because having our art work up at the fair would be worlds of sweetness and great for business just for the contact possibilities alone! Selling the art would be a fantastic bonus too!

See you on the flip side of our grand little adventure...

Without warning when life decides to pull the trample your vibe card it hits you square in the sweets. I was online earlier today when a chime for a chat pops up from an old friend. Being in a good mood I answered... My friend is also my former cousin through marriage and she informed me that my young cousin (her former brother-in law) Kyle just died.

When your face becomes gaunt and your head begins to ring... is that some sort of revelation going off... or is it the mortality chiming in to warn you you could be next? I could not believe it. Only 24 years old and already gone. The cause of death yet to be determined by autopsy. My family is traumatized and it looks that this fourth of July is one of life reflection for myself and many others of my kin. His funeral will be on the 3rd.

Kyle, I never really got to know you buddy, but you will be missed dearly. Fly free.

The Lycan Howls though the moon is not shining tonight...

Hey Lycan fans. I just finished a special piece of work today. It is the GRAND PRIZE award for the Queen of Darkness "Touch of Winter" contest! Now what can be so special about that... you ask? Well go and have a look at "Lady of Flame" for yourselves...

OK... now that I have a sec I'll update you guys on the misadventures of the Unnatural Forces. I've got a shopping cart tagged to my Home gallery pages. It is slick as snot, I managed to get a dropdown menu with sizes offered for the art for sale. And you can order multiple copies if you want. It is very bad arse.

I've been taking the time to enter the “Bring Your Vision to Life” contest here in DA. My entry is "Stay the Shadows" and it is my first attempt at a Werecat and a Drider. It rocks the socks. Hit the link and scope it out.

Well that is is for now, check out the Lycan Knight Web Site for more updates! Later days dudes!
