Harley en Pregresso...

Arkham Asylum Nurse Harley en progress! This is my favorite costume of hers next to the original jester costume. This was part request and part something I wanted to do for a while. Yes it was requested by a cute girl who cosplayed as Harley... Don't judge me. Prints and card will be available at North Florida Comic Con next month!

Trading Card Display...A Step Closer to ACTUAL Organization.

Got these baseball card displays and will use them for my trading card series I have been working on. Slowly getting my convention/art show set up nice and organized. Next up is some lighting for the bart( bar art) shows and a good way to display my buttons... 

Pixelated show results...

A week after the GAAM show I participated in the Pixelated art and music show at TSI. It was definitely a lot more laid back after the madness of GAAM. I got to hang out with two of my favorite artists and people: Ashley and Josh Hoye! Hanging with the Hoyes was fun. Made a few sales, some odd interactions and was  totally exhausted after two art shows sandwiched with the regular job. Long week fo sure! I have two more bar shows next month... Two days in a row!

North Florida Comic Con and more!

North Florida Comic Con is tomorrow! I will be there with art stuffs and trinkets for sale and barter. Now including trading cards and buttons! Finally got to use my button maker and it is awesome. Thanks to 3 Rings Printing & Design for the great job printing. Bonus: I will also be on the Skin Crawling Comics panel with writer pal Rachel Pandich and others TBA. Hope to see you there!

GAAM was amazing... Thank you to all that came out. The event exceeded my expectations on every level. My heart grew three sizes that night. Logan Zawacki, Ryan Paul Thompson, Derrick Nevado we finally got to work together and I think we have something special here. I am proud to have been part of this event and future events to come...

Thank you to everyone who helped make this vision a reality plus more! Nes Bolante, Nathan Wagoner, Tiger, Cameraman Ken, Klara Cu, and all the folks I left out. Thank you to the vendors, artists, and all the game companies who donated art, games, toys etc. for Child's Play charity. Every Move Is Special /GAAM has a big 2013 planned!

GAAM is coming!

Via GamesArtandMusic.com:


GAAM is Games Art And Music. GAAM’s current goal is the GAAM Show, a Games Art And Music Charity Show that will raise money for the Child’s Play Charity, and help spread awareness and acceptance of gaming’s impact on our culture, the warmth they give our childhoods, and the creative spark it gives our adulthood. 

Gaming is the meeting of art and technology, and this show recognizes and appreciates that. The Games Art And Music Charity Show takes place December 14, 2012, at The Museum at 4160 Boulevard Center Dr, Jacksonville, FL. It officially starts at 6pm, and officially ends at 11pm. 

Local artists, Edmund Dansart, Logan Zawacki, Derrick Nevado, and Ryan Paul Thompson have collaborated over the past year to create a local event that appreciates and celebrates the video game culture, and bring attention to the SouthEast. This is a one night only event that has the support of many in the video game industry, including award winning game industry and hollywood composer Penka Kouneva , EA Games, Game designer and author Chris Solarski, Square Enix (well known for Final Fantasy, Tomb Raider, and Dragon Quest), Valve, Team Ninja, and others.

 The event will feature several art exhibitions, include a charity art auction where 100% of the proceeds will go to Child’s Play, a juried art show for other artists to showcase their work, a real world Super Mario Experiential Exhibit by Jessica Tan and Holli Nygren, famous cosplayer Candy Keane, DJ Nes, martial arts demonstrations by Nevado Karate Arts, and more.

 If everything is a success, hopefully we can turn this into a yearly event and continue to spread video games, art, and music while helping good causes! 

This is the beginning of a whole new set of projects next year...Stay tuned! We hope to see you there! -ed

Artwalk results...

SOLD! Thanks to everyone who came out to Artwalk. Got to catch up with some art peeps and meet some nice folks. Sold this big guy and at least a dozen or so prints. It means a lot when folks spend their hard earned cash on my silly art. That really keeps me going... I can't thank you enough!

Show results...

Thanks to everyone who came out to the show despite the bad weather. Met some cool people, got to catch up with some friends and sold a bunch of prints to boot! Not too shabby! Bonus: I took my first payment on the iphone with the Square! Yay technology!:D

Art show Friday!

My friends and fantastic artists Nicole Middleton, Nick Dunkenstein, and Jenn Page will be displaying with me at 5 Points Coffee and Spice! Come on out Friday night and say hi!

Eb5k News and Notes...

So things have been busy lately... I have been getting commission work and requests(some from overseas which is kinda neat). Those are cool, my clients are amazing, the work is fun and I need them financially, but there are a couple personal projects I really want to get going... My big problem: I need to manage my time better and focus. These projects need to become reality and the only thing stopping me is me... It's time to dig deep and get this show on the road. The comic is going to be my number 1 priority besides the commissions. This has been swirling in my head for a while and I need to sit and write out the first issue. Now that I have some writer friends that have offered to help with the script, there are no excuses. I want to get a full issue done for the 2012 convention season. If I can put it all together, who knows? At worst I will have my own comic book published ( self published, but published nonetheless) and that's still pretty damn cool. :)

 In other news, I am adding another chapter to the video game based 8-Bit Evil series. My next art show will be Friday, October 7th at 5 Points Coffee and Spice. New paintings and prints of my favorite 8-bit villians and heroes. My friends and fantastic artists Nicole Middleton, Nick Dunkenstein, and Jenn Page will be displaying as well. It should be a fun show and the work will be on display for the month of October.

 Oh and I did this robot for a possible shirt, sticker and new business card... Think it turned out ok. :)
