Norwescon Schedule

I’ll be at Norwescon next weekend (April 17-20) at SeaTac, Washington, USA.

If you see me at the bar, please feel free to come and say g’day!

I’ll have some art in the art show and you’ll be able to buy stuff off the walls or fun prints and magnets from the print shop.

Here’s my schedule if you want to see me on programming.

Friday

Sketchbook/Portfolio Critique

4:00pm – 5:00pm @ Evergreen 3 & 4

Lizzy D. Hill (M), Jeff Sturgeon, Rob Carlos, Brittany Torres, Liz Argall

Showing art that you hold so close to your heart to a group of artists can be terrifying. But know we have been there as well and that is why we are doing this. Because a critique is something that helps you grow and improve. Bring your sketchbook, portfolio or even one particular piece you’ve been struggling with and let us help you grow!
