New Art and Upcoming Cons
Update 4/08/12
CONS:
So we've got a few great shows coming up, C2E2 and ACEN!
C2E2
is next weekend (April 13th thru the 15th) at McCormack Place in
Chicago. I'll be in the artist alley sharing a table with
Tim Broderick.
Come check us out at booth E20!
Two weeks later is Anime Central at the Donald E.
Stevens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL. Once again, I'll be in
the artist alley, hanging out with a bunch of great artists and writers!
I'll have tons of new stuff at both shows,
including new prints and a nice little book of all of my latest ink
sketches.
NEW ART:
Speaking of which, this week's new art is four new pieces from my weekly
ink sketches:
Tars
Tarkas
Pirate Queen of Mars
Griffon
Cheeky Spear
Thanks for checking out the new art, and if you're
going to be at C2E2 or ACEN, drop by and say hi!

Finally, an Update
Update 2/27/12
I've been having a hard time finding the time to do
some updates lately, but here we go!
Dan Con!
The convention season is underway starting next
week! On Sunday March 4th I'll be at
DANCON,
which is a one day comic show in Orland Park. While there's gonna be a
good number of dealers there, there's also gonna be a ton of great
artists there - and I'm not talking about a handful, I'm talking
dozens!
So, if you're in the Chicago area, come out and
check it, but don't wait too long, because doors open at 10AM and the
show closes at 4PM! See you there!
Check out the Con
Schedule on the left of the site to see where else I will be this year!
(C2E2, ACEN, Wizard World)

Without further ado, I've added six new ink
sketches!
Hello!
What's this?
Silken Princess
Brushed Hair

Accurate Barsoon Costume

More coming soon!

More Ink Sketches
Update 12/09/11
I didn't update with new art over the Thanksgiving
holiday, so these four should make up for that. These are from my
weekly ink sketch experiments.
Savage
Knife
Deathknight
Princess (NSFW)
Black Rock (Slightly NSFW)

New Art
Update 11/4/11
What? More new art? Yep, and there's
more coming in the next few weeks. I've still got some new color
stuff to post from last year, and a slew of con-sketches to catch up on.
New Art:
I've got four new weekly Ink Sketches to post this week. Let's
just cut the chit-chat and get to it!
Barsoom Girl (NSFW)
Dark Eyes (NSFW)
The Plague: Rip
The Plague: Grinder

New Art
Update 10/14/11
Well, I've been on a break for a while, but I
haven't been resting. I've got a new color piece to post this
week, and a whole new section to get started! Let's get to it.
New Art:
Savage Sword (Color)
This is a color version of my recent pen & ink work, with several
detail close ups.
New Section: Ink
Sketches
I've added a section for a new series of sketches. These weekly
experiments are purely for fun and an excuse to try different things.
Not every one will turn out, but that's okay - experimentation can be
messy!
Now that I'm back to updating, I'll be trying to
post something new every week to two weeks. I've already got more
Ink Sketches and some con sketches from earlier in the year to get out,
as well as several color pieces I haven't found the time to format.

Chicago Comic Con This Weekend +
Updates
Update 8/08/11
This weekend is the
Wizard World Chicago Comic Con
in Rosemont, IL. I'll be at table 3244 in the artist alley,
hanging out with some other artist and writer friends. If you're
coming to the show, please stop by and say hi!
Updates!
This week I've updated with another Conan inspired
pen and ink!
The Witching Hour
Detail 01
Detail 02
Concept
The Witching Hour Pencil
Like the Savage Sword piece I posted two weeks ago,
this one was a combination of about 80% traditional pen and ink, and 20%
digital inks.
I hope you like The Witching Hour. Check back
soon, because there's more new stuff coming in the weeks ahead!
P.S. - Friend me:

CYPHAN This Weekend +
Updates
Update 7/28/11
This weekend is the Cyphan 2 show here in the
Chicago area. I'll have a table there, and will be hanging out
with some friends and artists. Cyphan is a new show, in its second
year. I heard great things about last year, so it should be
fun. Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror with comics and films and
quite a few celebrity guests.
Check it out starting tomorrow (Friday!)
Hobby Miniatures Updates
I've finally got some new stuff for the Hobby section! I've added
a ton of new photos to the Miniatures Gallery
of stuff that I've painted for use with table-top games. Check out
the updated Games Workshop Lord of the Rings gallery, and the
Dragonblood / Cavalcade gallery of the minis that were based on my art.
Speaking of which, I should remind everyone that
Cavalcade Wargames picked up two of those minis (when they took over
much of Dragonblood's catalogue) and has reissued them. The
one based on Reaper Queen was a limited edition, and won't be reissued.
Cavalcade's site is closed for the summer, but expect it to be back
soon.
Finally, a great big thanks to Kathy Tootelian for
the wonderful miniature photography. Hopefully she can be tempted
to do some more in the near future.

New Art!
Update 7/18/11
Well, its been a long time in coming, but I finally
have some new art up. In addition, over the coming weeks, I'll be
posting new art updates every one or two weeks. I've got a lot of
stuff that's been sitting on the shelf for the last year, and I can't
wait to get some of it posted.
This week: A new pen and ink.
Savage Sword
Detail 01
Detail 02
Concept
Savage Sword Pencil
This was a combination of traditional quill pens
and digital inks. The companion to this piece, entitled The
Witching Hour, is almost complete and will be one of the next pieces I
post!

Friend Me on Facebook
Update 7/18/11
I've been putting it off, but I've finally got a Facebook page up. I invite all friends, fans and readers of Betty to
head over and send me an invite. I'd love to hear from you,
and I hope to make it a more interactive version of the mailing list,
without all that pesky email stuff - I mean, email is so 1998, isn't
it?
