Lunacon...painting live!!!
At Lunacon, Artist Guest Dave Seeley suggested artists doing live painting demos and he asked me to be in one on 2pm Saturday. Other particpants included Donato Giancola, Dan Dos Santos and Greg Manchess. Lunacon was the 50th gathering of the New York SF Society, and usually alot of fun. This year was impeded abit by a monster Nor'easter of snow and sleet. We got there late but better a day late than never!
Pictures-top down- Greg Manchess and Tor Books Art Director Irene Gallo and me. Middle-Donato Giancola(his own set up to the left) looks on adding the comment he liked the atmosphere I was painting. Bottom-Steve Hickman(right) and onlookers. This is the part I am scared I'll screw it up in front of everyone!

Oh, I love the land bridge. Nice effect.
Thanks! Spur of the moment idea that worked out fine...it was kind of me trying to do my best in a "watched" scenario.
Oh, I like this one! Ditto on the landbridge, it looks shaggy with undergrowth.
I just kind of invented that as a compositional device that I had not used before...thanks for the kind words as always Tessa!
I don't know how you can work in front of anyone. That would make me crazy! I guess you just have to tune them out and concentrate on what you're doing?
Leslee-the hardest thing is setting up, I can talk and work-answering questions and so on. I just make sure I have a direct conduit of thought to the painting. Then it works. In fact, I create with the right side of my brain and chat with my left.
