Genericon is right around the corner. They are having a con book cover and I sent in my design. They arn’t announcing the winner until last minute, but I put my design on a T-Shirt. I will have some at the con, White and Red Rinder tees in X-L, if you want to order one, because you wont be there or you want a different size or color, here is this link.
| Hello web denizens,
Happy New Year! To push forward a more serious presence on the web you can find a more complete portfolio at http://www.portfolios.com/jandrewworld. Also, I have been moonlighting as a graphic designer and to see the portfolio for that, check out: http://www.creativehotlist.com/jworld . The website is still in the works, but I have more on that below. November found me designing shirts for a fund raiser for Oasis Christian Center. If you’re interested in buying a shirt and helping out the center, contact John Colonnello at jcolonnello@si.rr.com. This October I had a big freelance job. At the 2007 RavenCon, Balticon, and Capclave, there will be a Worldcon bid party for 1984. For those of you who don’t know, different clubs bid for Worldcon to come to their city. Then members of the WSFS (World Science Fiction Society) can vote to where the con will be held. Washington Science Fiction Association is putting in a joke bid for 1984: A Brave New Worldcon, making reference to the novels Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell and Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. You can find the tee shirts I designed for them here: http://www.printfection.com/1984 Speaking of conventions and tee shirts, I have designed the Retro-RavenCon tee-shirts. Designed to look like they were made in the seventies. Check out the shop: http://www.printfection.com/ravencon The talented Ross Nover is teaching me things and I will be working with him to build the page. If you want to see more of Ross Nover’s work, he has two, count ‘em, two webcomics he is involved with. Check them out here: http://www.notquitewrong.com/ and http://www.rocketsrockout.com/ Speaking of exciting news, I was nominated for a 2006 N3F (National Fantasy Fan Federation also known as a Neffy) award for best Fan Artist. Nominees are: Lynn Masamitsu, Marc Schirmeister, Steve Stiles, J Andrew World, and Hugo award winner Frank Wu. They announced the winner at Dragon*Con in Atlanta in September, but I still don’t know who won! I’ll let you know when I do. Attending conventions is not cheap and although I am often a guest, I still have travel and accommodations expenses to contend with. So that means I have to scrimp and save. That means I need you to buy swag or even make the odd donation at my paypal account. If you donate $10, I will send you an autographed print; a $25 donation will land you an original sketch; and $50, a black and white piece. Also, don’t forget to visit my webstore. ***IN PRINT*** A small volume of short stories called Mazes by Michail Velichansky is out. Velichansky is a talented young writer whom I know you will hear more about in the future. I did the cover for this great collection of stories! If you would like a copy of this book, please send me $5 with $2 shipping & handling. If you would like a copy of the James R. Stratton book, Mens Rea, please send me $5 with $2 shipping & handling.
