Watching the masters

What is it about my car that it wants to die in the middle of autumn? I went home for IlluxCon last week and when I came back, my car was dead. Oh, it starts and goes, just not very fast or very far. I rode my motorcycle into work on Monday (brrrrr), borrowed Josh's car on Tuesday and today I'm working from home while the mechanics rip'er apart. Poor old car.

IlluxCon was amazing as always. Got to see Donato do a demo on skin tones and portraits. Larry Elmore talked about the female form and how/where to find good models. Both he and Brom agreed, strip clubs are the way to go for a multitude of reasons, although your wife might complain if you're bringing too many strippers home. Lesson from Brom included the phrase "if you can't figure out what to do, putting an eye in the palm is the way to go."

Whelan and Chris Moeller did a collaborative painting thing. Vincent Villafranca did a live bronze pour on Friday night, which was pretty neat to watch. That is a LOT of heat, right there.

It was just all around amazing. Next year, I think I'll book a night at the hotel so I don't have to make that drive over the mountain late at night. I'd rather hang out longer and be able to partake in the festivities more. Still, money well spent.
