August 2005 08-01-05: Lots of new stuff today! First, congratulation's to Robert V.! He won last month's Featured Item: a Lara Croft Print! Our Ayame Print is the Featured Item for August! Visit the NEWSLETTER page to learn how you can enter for a chance to win one. We just finished designing a logo and some characters for Anime-zing Escape! They include a Guy Mascot, Girl Mascot, Kitty Mascot and of course the Logo (which features all three characters). You can find them all in the Published Gallery. Commentary has been added to the Realms Con Mascot and Realm pinups. There are new published venues online for the Tyris Flare and Raver J illustrations. The Comic Art, Website Art and Advertisments sections of Jason's Client/Publication List have been updated. Also, the Website Art and Advertisments sections of Heather's Client/Publication List have been updated too. Last but not least, our new illustrations (Guy / Kitty / Girl), along with the Realms Con Mascot piece, are now available to purchase in the Original Art section of our online STORE! Look for them in the Published Art Listing. 08-12-05: There is a cute and sexy new pinup online in our General Gallery today! We call it Hard Candy *_*. We also have a new illustration in the Published Gallery called Realms Con Chibis! It features Realm (in chibi form) battling a little dragon. We will be attending Realms Con in Texas next weekend, and will debut Jason's 2005 Sketchbook at the show! Come check it out! Look for us in front of the dealer's room ^_-. On that note, because we will be away from our studio for awhile any STORE purchases made during our absence will be mailed-out ASAP when we return. If you are interested in purchasing the original artwork for Hard Candy and/or the Realms Con Chibis, both are available in the Original Art section of our online STORE! 08-26-05: We've added several new items to the STORE today! There are four new prints available for purchase: Realms Con Mascot, RPG Fangirl, Tyris Flare and Hard Candy. In response to several requests we recieved this past weekend, we are now offering prints of our Jungle Catgirl illustration! Also, be sure to check the miscellaneous section for Jason's new sketchbook, THOUGHT CONTROL 2005! We've already had a wonderful response to this book, and it's going fast! REALMS CON REPORT- Thanks to everyone who came to see us at Realms Con this past weekend! We met some wonderful people, and made lots of new friends at the show. We got to know Lisa Ray (a lovely and talented singer), and spent some time chatting it up with voice actors George Manley and Tiffany Grant. James O'Barr (creator of 'The Crow') surprised us and bought both of Jason's sketchbooks! We hope to see more of him next time ^_^. Fantasy artist Alain Viesca shared some tips of the trade with us, and was great to talk with in general. We spent some quality time with Marina Sirtis! We enjoyed her character on 'Star Trek The Next Generation', so it was a special treat to meet Marina in person. She was very kind, and even signed a photograph for us! One of the unexpected highlights of the weekend was being invited to dinner with Margot Kidder (Lois Lane *_*), her agent, and some of their friends. We had such a good time chatting with everyone that we forgot to take some photos with Margot (d'oh!) >_<. During the conversation we learned that one of our dinner companions, Brad Taylor (who provides security for the stars), is THE MAN behind the 'Robocop' gun! Not only did he provide the actual gun for the movie, he also had a hand in the special effects *_*. Needless to say, we were extremely excited to meet him (especially Jason, who is a longtime 'Robocop' fan). Brad was very cool, and invited us to his home on Sunday evening. Visiting Brad's house was like going to 'Planet Hollywood'! He has lots of impressive pop-culture collectibles.....and an entire room dedicated to 'Robocop' memoribilia! He even got the actual 'Robocop' gun (the one that was used in the movie) out of his bank vault so that we could see it up close! Of course we has to take some photos ^_-. Again, many thanks to everyone who came out to see us at the show, and to all our new friends! We had a blast hanging out with everyone!
