It looks like 2015 is going to be a busy year. I already have a few cover that I'm starting some prep-work for, and there are several that I know for sure that I will be doing during the year.
As far as conventions go, I've gotten a weekend pass for Who Fest 2. I want to get a rent table, but I don't know how much they will be right now. I also don't know if I will have much else besides the leftover FenCon posters...mostly due to time constraints & table info limbo.
FenCon will also be a go this year too. I am planing on having buttons of varying sizes this year, possibly some books of authors I've done some covers for (possibly C.L. Smothers & Alexander Fernandez), steampunk jewelry (made by my mom), and some crochet/arm knit things in Doctor Who colors/theme.
I will also have some things out at the Beckham Spirit Fest too, but probably not a whole lot.

Beware a visit from Gryla!
Made for zemenz for the Secret Satan Exchange hosted by dA-Morgue
Meet Grýla, mystical giantess of Iceland & mother of the Yule Lads. She devours naughty children.
I had originally wanted to do the Yule Lads, but I got flooded with last minute commissions & my daughter got sick (then passed it on to me)...so I didn't have anywhere near the amount of time to work on the project. Yule Lads next year, I promise. I'm not overly familiar with the legend of Grýla, and there really wasn't much about her online as far as how she would look. I ended up crossing her between the newer, old lady/witch version with the horned oger pics I found. It's still missing something, so I may make a few changes later.

The Wormhole Project Full Cover
This is the full sized cover for the print edition of The Wormhole
Project. I had some issues with Photoshop wanting to keep flattening
all the layers on me at random, but I was able to get this one done
pretty quick.
