*liquidy sound* Shit! There goes my face again... BE THERE OR BE SQUARE! *goes off to look for another face*

[Nerahla]

Is it like a convention, where there are tracks of lessons and we can choose which to take?

[DoubleXdragoN]

Awww, damn! In Seattle? D: I can't afford travelling so far!
I'm not gonna talk about the sign-up prices.. >.>''' Godsdammit! XD

But hot damn, that is so awesome... I hope everyone who goes there wets their pants when meeting all the big men of industry. ;D

[Wibben]

This sounds fantastic!

How does these workshops work? Are there presentations or workstations? I've never been to your workshops, but I have always wanted to go.

Will there be more inf coming on what will be going on there?

Sounds awsome =)

[Jason Manley]

there is a video top right corner of the last event...each one is slightly different but i think you will get the idea!

http://features.cgsociety.org/story_custom.php?story_id=4003


Jason

[Jason Manley]

this show has 3 categories.

1. spoken presentations/demonstrations with experts in each area covered
2. hands on instruction (when the instructors are working directly with the students.
3. pure demonstration (this will be a special portion of the event as there will be more artists simultaneously demonstrating where you can see them all working, than ever before.)

It is a mixture of structure and creative chaos. It is inspiration and motivation. It is focused on foundations but has all the info needed for artists of all levels to take away more than they hoped to.

The rest is a surprise.


Jason

[Rabid]

Going to be haunting the footsteps of Kevin Llewellyn and Hussar from demonstrations to portfolio review....by Sun they will be telling me, "God Peanut havn't I answered enough for you yet?!" :er:

[Justin.]

So the NAME of the event is REVELATIONS: The North American Art and Design Workshop? Or is Revelations just for the revealing phase...

[S!R]

I think that would be a safe assumption due to the various threads referring to the workshop as such.

Justin you have far better things to do right?....get that pencil to the paper kiddo. Mucho work ahead of you before the workshop. I will have a talk with David Levy if I have to.

:)

Yeah, 2500 posts in 1 year= too much time spent on this damn forum. :)

[Jason Manley]

yeah....all the posting useless banter reminds me of that other guy that used to post instead of making art or being productive...pixeldragoon something. Whatever happened to that guy?

[Carnifex]

*cough* coming over from austria. not to bash on your financial situation,but lemme tell you,it is so worth it. see if you can get parents or friends to sponsor abit,it's what i do :)

[Evil_Sloth]

Holy shit that line up looks like the greatest line up... ever!

Seriously thinking about selling my car to go to this.
Maybe I can float to work on inspiration...

[drd]

It's all amazing, but it's all of the way across the country, and I can't even drive yet.

*big sigh*

[David Kassan]

This sounds like an amazing experience, not just a place to learn new techniques , but an opportunity to pick brains develop and be influenced directly by some amazing artists. Whats really superb is that there are so many different styles, ideas and approaches represented, it really gives the student a chance to sort of cherry pick what it is that they are inspired by in each artist, its this a la cart approach that really helps to define an individuals personal voice, which can sometimes be overwhelmed when a student studies with only one instructor. You ConceptArt creators are some smart bastards. Cheers!

[Jason Manley]

It's all amazing, but it's all of the way across the country, and I can't even drive yet.

*big sigh*


that's what the airplane is for...we have plenty of younger students at the events and seattle has some of the best public transportation in the country. but alas...there is always next year or the year after. Though a lineup like this will probably never happen again, considering it never happened before either.

Yeah, that is part of the point. People will have the opportunity to make decisions about who they want influencing their work, which is rarely the option at work or in school. That being said, sometimes it is those who you least expect who provide the breakthrough that you never saw coming. I can say, that due to the structure of the event, it will be possible to at least peek at and see all the instructors working so you can make that decision.

We have three tracks and two categories currently. The categories are Art and Design.

Spoken Demonstration/Presentation - For example, Lorne Lanning is doing a wonderful talk on creativity. Considering he has led perhaps one of the most creative companies in the industry for the past decade, it should be a good one). Coro, Dan Milligan, Android, Marko, and many others will be speaking, of course. The spoken program will be announced in a couple weeks. Stay tuned. A few of these talks will be lecture based, but all will have plenty of digital imagery or demonstrations happening to keep things exciting. Those who learn by being told and shown will have the opportunity to do so.

Pure Demonstration - Participants will watch the pros as they are focused purely on the work. Ask occasional questions...but the point of this is to let the instructors focus on what they do best...create. It will be up to the students to analyze and deconstruct the methods for some of these demonstrations (Noxizmad, for example who says more with his brush than any words he could say, ever would). Those who learn best by watching, will be able to take advantage of this. Given the intelligence of the attendees from the industry and the student base around here, I expect everyone will get something great out of this.

Hands on instruction. Students will have the option to participate in this portion of the program and recieve hands on assistance from the top professionals in each area of study. We are doing a head drawing class, for example. The instructors will be of both traditional and digital background, so those working on laptops or in sketchbooks will get to have the big guns helping them hit the targets. Personally, I always learned best in this way, which is why we are including this portion for the event. We are accommodating all 3 ways people learn art and design. Seeing, hearing, and doing...

This is going to be our most organized event to date but even the organization is structured to allow for the creative chaos that makes these events special. How things are structured is a surprise. It is a new and highly evolved approach, that much I can say. It is going to be friggen intense.


Jason

[InvertedChalupa]

its'a gonna be sweeeet... I'm pretty stoked

[Icon]

Holy crap!

I don't how yet, but mark my words, i'll be there!!!

[Benjamen Christ]

Fucken sweet! I just got my ticket!

[Coinpurse]

yeah....all the posting useless banter reminds me of that other guy that used to post instead of making art or being productive...pixeldragoon something. Whatever happened to that guy?

no clue, he used to post on another community i'm apart of based on Game modification and total conversions. I don't see him there anymore either :(


Anyway Jason, looking forward to meeting you and the others at MB. Thats one hell of a line up. Seriously want to try to make this one, but GDC is the following month and I might have to be there as well with the guys from work. Anyway I'll have to see, this one looks as if it shouldn't be missed :P

[Texahol]

jason, you're a pretty good salesman.

and giving my wallet an inferiority complex to boot.

any word on hotels/hostel prices/locations yet?

[zao75231]

Hey Jason,

Could I pay at the door like a friend of mine did at the Insomania workshop?

Can't wait to see you guys again and looking forward to meeting the new artist's and my favorites :):):)

[chaosrocks]

heheheheh pixeldragoon..... giggle

the this Justin guy is very very similar, andbit more motivated, and making progress faster though....
I'll probably get my ticket today

[Jason Manley]

gdc??? no offense to gdc, as its the best business event in the states, but seriously, on an artistic level, it is a void that is months away. That is the whole purpose of our event...the industry needs a big wakeup call creatively. We are here to help shake em all outta bed...and that includes me.

TIME TO GET UP!!!! ...at least thats what my lil sis used to say!

There currently is the option to pay at the door, however, that is only because we have not sold out yet. Given the quality of instructor list, and the limited space, I imagine it will be sold out around xmas.


Jason

[Noë]

I was thinking about going, but my boyfriend planned a surprise vacation those days :P (meaning I know when but not where we are going)
So I guess there's always a next time.. :) And anyways it will be WAY cheaper to go to a european one for me.

You guys seem to get every workshop better than the one before..
Awesome!
I'll be checking the threads here for pictures, videos, notes, everything! ^^

Love
Marleen.

[JellevdVegt]

will there be a european workshop? i think it will be worth it. i think alot of artists at CA are from europe, so plz, organize a workshop in europe!

[Jason Manley]

There are no European Workshops planned for 2008. Due to the current issues with Dollar to Euro/Pound conversion, it looks like it will be 2-3 years before we consider doing another there. For Europeans wanting to visit the states, there has never been a better time to do so. Your money is worth almost twice what it should be here and will stretch a long way, making this just as, if not more affordable, than if we do one in Europe.

Noe, sorry to hear about that. Maybe in a few years we will be closer. If your bf has not bought the tix yet, then perhaps he can be "convinced" Seattle is the better choice for locations. hehe



Jason

[Noë]

About the affordable issue: yes the euro is worth more dollars, but since an airplane ticket from the Netherlands to Italy (for example) is approximately 50 euros and one to seattle approximately 450 I think going to a European workshop will be cheaper for Europeans.
But it doesn't matter really :) people from all around the world come to the workshops, and for a good reason ^^
I'm just gonna save some money and try to get better at drawing and painting for the next one..

@ Jason; yes, I thought about that but the tickets were already bought. :scribble:

Love
Marleen

[LAG]

So where can I order my ticket?

[Jason Manley]

There are no European workshops planned. Sorry.

Regarding signing up...you may do so by sending an email to Melissa@ConceptArt.org and she will take great care of you. If you get your tuition in by Nov 1, there are a hundred bucks off, courtesy of Massive Black's sponsorship (normally tuition is 600 for this).


Jason

[CGMonkey]

I'm totally stoaked about this, it's definitely a workshop I'm going to attend. I've never been to the states and I'm in a solid job, there's no reason for me not to come to this.

I have a few questions regarding places to stay, how expensive is the living costs in Seattle? I'm looking to stay there for a week in some kind of hostel or should I aim for a cheap one roomer instead?

Thanks again MB and Jason, you guys rawk!

[Jason Manley]

hostel and hotel info will come this week. we are negotiating deals now.

you are very welcome.

j

[cmalidore]

Holy crap that is one hell of a list you pulled together, Jason. Man I better eat light for awhile...... gotta get some money together...

[Jaku]

Jason, can you give just a hint on the price deals for the hotels or hostels?
I´m doing my mathemathics and if i can stay under 1500€ i might go.

[Sublimus]

I am so pumped! This will be my first workshop, and its sounds like it will be the best to date! Are tickets on sale yet? Or how does that work?

[Jessica Hook]

hostel/hotel info is coming out this week.

tickets are on sale. melissa@conceptart.org is the contact for Melissa Lee, conceptart.org's event coordinator who will be a big help to those who want to sign up and get the hundred dollar early discount. after november 1 the fee goes up to 600 bucks...so get in early if you want to save the cash, courtesy of sponorships from Massive Black Inc.

[Sublimus]

Awesome, thanks!

I'm assuming you would have to pay by November 1st? Or do you just need to sign up by then?

Thanks

[Jason Manley]

Signing up and paying tuition happen at the same time.


J

[Idiot Apathy]

Registered, paid and pumped. :D

[Calle_]

way, but where are the groups? o,O-
just one step away from paying, looking forward for it.

[silvestri99]

I'm offering up help to anyone that doesn't know Seattle. I've been here a looong time and know the area pretty well. If you have a question that I don't know I will go find out for you. It's a great city with tons to do and see......getting around shouldn't be much of a problem either m.b. picked a great location on the water front for the workshop. This will rok!

[ttoolhead1]

Are there going to be volunteer positions for the show? Either for set-up or during the event or tear-down? How about a video crew to document the event, like the video on Massive Black's site?

[S!R]

Video taping wont be happening, this much I know, right mr. Manley?;)

I too volunteered to help with setup, or general running errands prior to the event. Offer still stands.

[Aardvarkphil]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO thats it just signed up! I'm going to Seattle.
Damn it's difficult to type when your dancing.
Also I would like to offer my services should they be required. Be arriving on the 1st Jan. (Ex Software developer, Sound Engineer, Electrical and Electronic Repair Engineer, Aspiring Artist) Should any of this be of any help while I'm around please feel free to ask. Cheers Phil.

[Ian Mack]

I...I think I may have to go to this.

[Mr.Delicious]

aarrghghghghg, I wanna go so goddamn bad. I'm movin then so I cant afford it... Is there gonna be one next year? and the year after that? forever?

[alti]

I couldnt come to the last one because i was broke.


but this one you can count me in.

I hope i'm not the only australian.

[BohemianChaos]

... so... friggin... excited... :xpld:

[grey]

sounds like the kind of inspiration (read: swift kick in the pants) I really need right about now -- I second the question about hotels/accomodations, tho I guess I could just pick up a Fodor's.

hey, and what the heck do you guys have against the east coast anyway?:(

[JustinBeckett]

AHHHH.

I am so close to this. Man, i really hope i can save like 800 bucks for Jan.... Since i will have to take bus there or something...i don't drive. And, i hope i can get the time off of work!!! "cries""" Oh man, i would love love love to go to this.

It would be so good meeting all of the pros. Especially the ones i look up to most.

~JB

[mindfields]

Baaaammm.... Just got the ticket!! See you there guys.

[Interceptor]

Paid up, registered and ready to rock. Thanks for the speedy payment process :)

[Beelow]

It looks I will be paying 600 bucks. I will try to make it out there. Hope to see you guys and gals out there.

[Zord]

Got the confirmation email just now, wheeeeeeeeee!

Ready for sleep deprivation and late night everything's. :O :bashful: :confident

[cubesoflard]

I Just called it in. See you guys in 2 months.

[Rebeccak]

Woo, registered. This should be interesting. :)

[Stark]

Ah yes! Rebecca is coming! Now I have to make it. Rebecca, I love your anatomy and figure talks. Can't wait to meet you in person and have you teach me everything you know...w00t

[Hunadin]

damn i wish i could be there, alas a curse on school and funding problems.
sounds like this would be a blast!
maybe i'll be lucky next year and have the money and ability to go to this magnificent workshop.

[Rebeccak]

Thanks Stark! It will be nice to meet you and everyone. :)

[m0uS3r]

dudes the insomnia was off the hook
i hope il get one day to a workshop of yours ... maybe next year or if you organize one in europe will be way cooollllllll

cheers and hope you will think about it :D

[Vulture]

Everythings paid, just waitin for time, I'm so freakin stoked! Will video cameras be allowed? See you all there!

[S!R]

video cameras = negative.
Apparently theres too much good (unreleased) shit being shown to have them allowed.

[dan.man.86]

Wow this totally sounds like a great time.

I watched the video posted and it totally made want to attend.

Prehaps those who have gone before could really boost my anticipation and tell why it is worth the 500$ (before this wednesday :S) or 600$ afterwrds? Cash isn't exactly flowing in, but I would love to attend. I just need to know if its REALLY worth it?

THANKS! :D

Yes there is a big HOTEL Thread (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=109109), and ROOMMATES Thread (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=109110), and don't forget there is a whole workshop forum (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=73) with everything you can think of....

I'm an idiot, haha. Thanks Yumiko!

[Sirio_Brozzi]

Looking forward to this. Glad it happened in Seattle. :)

[Killer Napkins]

i got a question..... when is the workshop starting on friday? like what time period...

[Jason Manley]

they usually start around ten or ten thirty in the morning. I am working on the schedule now. However the following day is a noon start time since the Friday party keeps people out late. Sunday is also around a noon start time. Monday is back to early again...ten. That is my current estimation.


j

[Killer Napkins]

alright thanks Jason.. man the cheapest flight i could find arrives the 4th .. but tis at like noon or one

[A.Weaver]

Woah, I cant wait. Brom and Hussar teaching, thats gonna be insane. Ill be there for sure!!

[Whirligigs]

I'm psyched and terrified! I'm gonna study practice as much as I can leading up to this so I don't embarrass myself, hahahah!


LOL! I feel EXACTLY the same way. :bashful:

[dakmoden]

So where do I register/reserve and pay? I can't seem to find a link anywhere :davi:

[Aardvarkphil]

email to Melissa@ConceptArt.org

[I.was.ink]

I emailed Melissa and I hope Im still covered for the discount.
I would gladly pay now, but she hasn't got back to me. (I know its kinda late, sorry for the last minute sign up)
Any suggestions?

I guess I'll wait and be patient.:confident

[Sapphire]

I'm going!!

I wish I would have known about this before the discount deadline! I don't suppose there's any way I could still get it?

Lorne Lanning is going.

I'm going.

[lunasolaris]

Is this for all levels? I mean, I definitely am interested in learning, but i got a ways to go.

[Zaxser]

Got my reciept. You'll definitely get it within 48 hours. I think I got my mine 24 hours after I made the call to the minute. I was gonna go off to draw, but sleep is calling me, and after reading some of Gez Fry's old posts, I think I should listen. See you all at the workshop!

[redehlert]

what about london? or england? anywhere in the UK!? :(

[Donovan V]

Heh, never been so happy to go to a party where I don't know anyone... :oD

[S!R]

Lol, well put man. I feel the same way. Sooo excited but kinda nervous (in a good way). Will be some grreat experiences, friendships, memories, inspirations, etc, etc coming outta this one!!

:pump:

[tokaru]

i would love to go, but actually i don´t have US visa, but maybe i can get one becuase i have new job.

[Twiggy]

Is there any real reason why video recordings won't be allowed? Just wanna know :)

[S!R]

The Man(ley) said so, end of story apparently.

My guess is artwork related to current unreleased IPs will be some of the focus in the presentations/lectures and therefore they dont want video floating around of those.

I too am bummed about this, but it is what it is.

Mr. Manley has been very clear there will be no video taping.

Sorry to be the harbinger of bad news.:[

[the_allejo05]

Im interested in going to the workshop..really want to learn from the best...how do get information about the price..where to stay..tickets,etc..how do we sign up..thanks for your info.

[Zaxser]

Look at all the threads in the CAORG/MASSIVE BLACK INC EVENTS & WORKSHOPS forum posted by Jason. Pay special attention to the first post in each of these threads. Or wait a week. Yumiko said the event website would be up by then.

[Twiggy]

The Man(ley) said so, end of story apparently.

My guess is artwork related to current unreleased IPs will be some of the focus in the presentations/lectures and therefore they dont want video floating around of those.

I too am bummed about this, but it is what it is.

Mr. Manley has been very clear there will be no video taping.

Sorry to be the harbinger of bad news.:[

cheers for that. Thats understandible.

I won't be going anyways, seem very unlikely, I'll love to though. I guess it's a bummer for poeple like me cause I won't be witnesing anything.

I'll be looking forward to what expereinces people will share and get a taste of what all the fuss is about :)

It's times like these I hate being a poor college student living on the east coast.

Hi Jason,
My dad had a few questions about the workshop. Basically he just wants to see a schedule. He wants to know what time does it start/end during the day and other things (though he's not really cooperating...). I know he wants to know the times at least. :P
Thanks.

[S!R]

Jake- the last date for the workshop website discussed by Jason was...today! I wouldnt hold your breath but give it a check or two later tonight and you might have that info for your Dad.

[dan.man.86]

Tis just me, or is that poster at the beginning promoting a website that has info on a previous workshop? Just curious when we shall learn more about this year's? :)

Hi All,

Yes, the poster has the website address which should go live within 12 hours. :) The curriculum and schedule will be laid out on the website, so please hold out just a bit longer. The schedule and curriculum are currently being edited so I don't have the final info to post here.

Please bear with us. Thanks a lot guys!

Thank you Yumiko :)

Didn't want to sound impatience or pushy. I'm just really excited, that's all :D
Can't wait to see it though when you guys get it up and running *thumbs up*

[Aardvarkphil]

Will MB and CA merchandise be available at Revelations? T-shirts, videos, etc.
Probably a stupid question. But I had to ask.

[Craig D]

Phil
They have been at the last two workshops,
I'd be suprised if they weren't again.

[Jacob Kobryn]

[Jessica Hook]

This is completely off topic, but Im posting it here cause some people only check the threads they're subscribed to, and this notice is kinda important for some of you.

In case you didn't notice the Days inn, 6th Ave. Inn, & Warwick hotel "CA group discount" deadline notices Jason posted on Nov. 21st (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=111433) & Nov. 30th (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=112263)


Here is your heads up that the cut off for days inn and 6th ave inn is the
1st of DECEMBER.


The Warwick has extended their deadline to the 14th.

See you all soon.

[1nkopera1ded]

so is revelations filled up yet? i want in!

[Ogre800]

where do you or who do you call to register? i can't find it on the website...

thanks! can't wait!

[Moai]

It struck me a few days ago just how quickly this event was coming up. I'm so excited!

[Jacob Kobryn]

Will there be CA and MB t shirts being sold at Revelations? It's only a few days away! Weeeeeee!

[silvestri99]

I have a general question... if you don't have a full portfolio to show will it still benefit you to bring a group of sketchbook pieces and other misc. work? I know having a s.b. is always good to show for feedback but I wasn't sure if it would be worth showing at the portfolio review to find work and make contacts with companies.

[wil.whalen]

As far as looking for work, a pro portfolio would be more useful. however, I've had just my sketchbook critiqued the past 2 workshops by instructors, and that was really useful.

[Fire Moth]

Space Needle......

[Moai]

Well, see you guys Thursday evening!

[Boom]

In just about 12 hours time I'll get out of bed and head off to the trainstation that will take me to the airport in Copenhagen.

See you soon! :D

[redehlert]

there's a meeting on thursday evening?
where's my head at?

[Villa]

guys, is this real?
just one day and a few more hours left to go down the rabbit hole. I feel all tingly inside.
see you there.

[animationchambers]

I would like to thank you Jason and the rest of the team for a wonderful show. It was enjoyable and informative and I made some good contacts with very nice people with similar thought processes.

I look forward to future shows after experiencing my first.

All the best…

Dave C.

[alti]

craziest mind bending trip i've ever had, thanks for refueling the engin.

made good freinds great contacts and had a blast.


lets get drunk.
-alti

[redehlert]

i'm inspired, energized, geek'd out and totally in awe of the presenters and fellow artists.
i loved meeting so many peeps i only knew the names of. made many new friends and solidified old friends that were only from an online experience. this has been a very rewarding journey.

thank you so very much mb gang and sponsors!
dave

[smugbug]

Dammit, alti! We're at the Hurricane - where are you?!

ETA: I owe you a beeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrr!!!!! And me, totally sleep deprived - been up since yesterday morning. No sleep for the wiiiicked!

[Aardvarkphil]

Thanks MB I learned alot and was given some great advice

[smugbug]

Hey, Dan Milligan -

Bludhund just called you a "forum wh.....r.....":oneye:

WTF is up with the censor!!!!!!

[Earendil]

I just constructed an unfoldable Dan Milligan shrine in my suitcase.

Now I can bring him everywhere. :hugsmile:

[Weenie]

I just wanted to thank MB and CA for putting on an awesome show and for all of the talented instructors and attendees. For my first workshop, it was an unforgetable experience and I know I've come away with a lot of useful information. This whole event as given me the kick in the arse that I needed!

[silvestri99]

I'd like to thank everyone involved as well. Not only those who put this shindig on, but my fellow artists that came and made it so much damn fun. Thanks to those guys who looked through my sketchbook and gave me the real feedback I need to keep improving.

As I told a friend of mine, these workshops will be my yearly pilgrimage to Mecca (artists mecca that is :) ).

I'm pumped and drawing as I speak....!!

[misael]

The event was amazing. Thanks to all the instructors for taking the time to help the comunity. I learned a ton of tricks and got new ideas. Thanks to Jason Manley for the awesome colortheory talk. It was a real eye opener. I have a ton of work ahead of me, so id better get on it. Thanks again.

P.S. to Coro, Orale! Te Wacho!

[Jacob Kobryn]

Hey, I had to leave so who won the Thunderdome???

[S!R]

Jason Chan won the instructors TD.

[Living Rope]

I'm surprised I can't see no post on the forums where people are sharing their photos of the workshop. Did I look close enough ?

[Earendil]

There's some in the lounge section. I don't know about anyone else, but I just got back into town, and went straight to work. Haven't gotten home yet to upload my photos, but I'm very disappointed with the camera I had. Basically, there was no way to take a good picture with the flash off, which sucks because the lighting was cool...

[xgabo]

It was a great show. Nice to meet some guys I only knew by this forum (nice to finally meet you redehlert). My participation in the Thunderdome with the instructors was a great experience.

thanks all guys at Massive Black for organizing this awesome event!

Gabriel

[redehlert]

hey gabe....great to meet you too, mate! hope we can hook up more often, since you're right up the road from me. :)
cheers!

[JessiBean]

I am SOOOO happy to have met everyone, my brain still hurts and I miss you all already. To the MB guys (and ladies): more thanks than I can express. Patricia, Groove, Chaos, Klevr, Carnifex, all you guys... travel safe, I hope I see you again soon!

[Benjamen Christ]

hey guys, i still have not got any proper amount of sleep, that was such a life changing experience, the fire is burning strong! i would name names, but but i know we all met a Shitload of awesome people. I miss all you guys, and i really had the best days of my life to date with all you like-minded crazy fuckers!

[m@.]

This was mind-blowing. Thanks to everyone who showed up!

[Zaknafain]

best thing ever!

[Delxen]

Completely life changing, it was worth it from day 1.

[Earendil]

Shouts out to Andrey, Christ, Klevr, PatriciaS, and all the cool people who were at the workshop. My IM's in my profile, let's keep in touch!

To Manley, Coro, and all the instructors.

Thank you!

[Jacob Kobryn]

I regret not just being out going and meeting people. I talked a lot with Brom and Andrew Jones which was good but I had a 2 sentence conversation with Jason Manley and only a one sentence conversation with Davi. I asked a lot of questions at Todd Lockwood's demo but I didn't actually meet and talk with Todd which I regret because he's had a profound influence on my art and my life. I also saw Justin Oaksford like everywhere I went but I didn't even say a word to him. I would have liked to have talked with him a bit and thank him for everything. I guess next time I'll try to be less shy and meet more people.

Thanks everyone for the AMAZING experience, I really hope I can make it to the next one!!!

[Divorce]

I regret not just being out going and meeting people. etc.

I know, I felt the same way! I dunno, I kept thinking like "these people are so far ahead of me, and they can't learn anything from me so why talk to me?". Being a kid at these things is tough, but luckily The Black Frog didn't mind having me hover over him and bug him every step of the way.
I was really looking forward to seeing Marko, he was the reason I came. But really, if he had come I would have never met TBF and would have never learned as much as I did, so I'm thankful for that. Next time us youngin's need to stick together and attack shyness as a whole to get more done :P

Cya next time!

[ethan karnopp]

twas great.. I met a lot of new people, half of them I don't remember their names, but I met them, and I'm stoked haha. Anywho.. I'm actually in a cybercafe in Denver waiting for a flight back to Milwaukee... *sigh* I don't know, twas good though, I definitely plan to go to the next one...errr on the Western Hemisphere at least :P

[Layil]

Big Thanks to everyone who made it.... BEST WORKSHOP EVER!?
its looking like it....

till the next one!
:D
:yayca:

[Idiot Apathy]

Best workshop ever indeed. Was so overwhelmingly impressed. Thanks so much :)

Was great to meet so many people, but I wish I had met even more. Man I need to go paint ... :D

[Fvallejo]

best workshop ever, even though itd kinda have to be since this is my first one....haha

great to meet everyone, ill see you guys at the next one!

thanks to all those who helped to put it together!

[CGMonkey]

This experience has shaked me to the core. I won't see art the same way again! Good Times.

[stevenderose]

It was nice meeting everyone, thanks all for letting me look over your shoulders.

[Justin.]

Shouts to all y'all, especially my roommates,

Nate, John, Jason, Kiel, Pryia, Jewl, Wombat- every one of you that met us at the Hurricane to create that atmosphere we love- and a super special thanks to the crew of the Hurricane for putting up with our shit for over a week STRAIGHT, Davi for doing the admin thing and collecting the cash for the bill, every single one of you that showed me your sketchbook and offered me the same courtesy, all the comments and suggestions and crits, all the inspiration and knowledge floating between us, it was truly an amazing environment. Another special thanks to all the instructors who, despite being weary of the same questions, would not deny even the most petty (here's to you, Mr. Konig).

Montreal was a great place to learn to break ice, which made this workshop even more potent for me. I couldn't stop shaking hands, swapping cards, or passing sketchbook collabs around. The instructors were even more approachable than in Montreal, and knowledge just vomitted from their tongues. I have no regrets this time around- I feel I truly made the most of this workshop that I possibly could. The fourth day was the sealer though. I finally heard what I needed to hear and finally felt a wonderful gratification and vindication. Thanks Dan for the drawings and letting me use your Sawhorse as well as helping all the artists- same goes for you, Greg Manchess- observing you and Dan collaborating and teaching was intense. Thanks to Ian on the Second day for doing a great modelling job while we waited for Hussar's model to set up. You rocked that chair, dude. Thanks to Phil Holland for just being the all around coolest guy in the world. Musician, artist, photographer- and now seamstress. Thanks to Coro for the word Fuck, Nox for the Kaosillator, Jason Chan for the tentacle rape, Dobsky for not hating my guts, The lady at the deli for delivering tasty sandwiches in a timely manner (For the most part). There are really too many thanks to go around, but to every person I traded words with, I owe you so much. Jason said on the last day "How many of you are going to cry when this is over?" Jokingly I raised my hand- but when I had to say goodbye to my wonderful roommates, I can't deny I was choking up. I hope it isn't too long before I get to enjoy all of you guys' company again. I won't soon forget the Hurricane, or the Gasworks park, or John falling asleep standing up, Dan Milligan's great performances, Coro's inspirational advice, Jason's encouragement, Walking to Queen's Anne to find a closed Gallery, the party at the space needle- I don't think it will be possible to top this workshop. Until you hold one in space Jason, I think you've set the bar pretty fuckin' high.

Thanks.
(And for all those behind the scenes- I can't remember all the names, but everyone who was helping out, the film crew, Jessica and Melissa and of course Monster, and anyone else who I possibly could have forgotten, thank you.)

And an unbelievably huge thanks to Peter Pan (Firemoth) for being the most generous, helpful person I have met in my life.

[0kelvin]

This was a triumph.
I'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS!

Definitely the best workshop ever. I've loved every workshop I've been to, but always came away with a few complaints each time. This time I really can't think of a thing that went wrong, except maybe the weather (and even that was pretty mild compared to some previous workshops). The venue was great and the technical difficulties were minimal. You guys really hit the perfect balance between putting on a good show and creating an environment conducive to learning and socializing this time.

Great job to everyone who put it together, and all the volunteers who helped out.



Eric

[tobi]

Hi there,

I really enjoyed the workshop. A full success imho.

Thanks to:
Carl Dobsky for his help concerning the palette order,
Gregory Manchess for his friendly advice and tips,
BROM for kind talks, his funny speech and his help offering,
Daniel Zetterström for the photos and his laptop,
Eric fom Ravensoft for the cool chat,
Peter König for turning me into a zombie,
Lotus for the fashion tips,
Shawn Barber for letting me have a million peeks over his shoulder (helped me a lot).


Furthermore, greetings to:
Paul, Michelle (too bad we didn't meet earlier!), Ian (and his 2 buddies, Zack and... errr... sorry... ), Eric Son, Jason Felix (all the best wishes for your artbook!), Michael Bierek (great portfolio, man!), Tobi, Massive Black crew, Oblio, Marko & Jelena & everyone I forgot to mention (sorry!)

One last thing to mention:
Coro's "Devourer Of Dreams" outmatches all other thunderdome pics by far, which unfortunaleley depicted mostly devourers of humans, heads or brains (no matter how skillfully crafted). But I prefer the striking idea of his pic to the drama or beauty of the other motifs. Just wanted to spend him a well-deserved applause.

[Jacob Kobryn]

Coros dream was surprise... he doesn't really seem like a stoner.

[S!R]

Jake- Coro's 'Dream Stealer' was a crack vial,lighter, and crack pipe
.
.
..
And NO he doesn't seem like a crackhead either! lol

funny ish there.

[Jacob Kobryn]

You know what I mean. I meant drugy or whatever.

[Lesta]

Hey Everyone!!!

This was my first workshop and it was AMAZING!!! So much talent in what felt like such little time! It has always been an honor working for MassiveBlack and ConceptArt.Org, but this just blew me away!

Can't wait till the next one!!! Thank you so much!!! And good luck to all the attendees I had the pleasure of meeting!!!

xoxo,

Lesta

[Killer Napkins]

well that was awesome.. i know what im saving up for next year..

[Darktwin]

No better way to start off a new year. I'm still exhausted from such an enlightened experience. The energy at this workshop was spot on. Everyone was very friendly and open making it a very chill and laid back experience. Big thanks for everyone showing up and making it one hell of an event. It really feels like a dream one would have and wish to have experienced, but I did!! I walked away from Revelations changed for the better! This was my second workshop, first one being Insomania, and it doesn't even compare to Revelations.

Big thanks to everyone who showed up, the professionals who showed up to the event with their busy schedules. Definitely recovering from it all still.

[Jacob Kobryn]

There's some serious kaossilation going on here...
zw4Dr0LeeFs

BTW did anyone record that "You're dewing eet!" line? I'd pay money to get that on my ipod...

[emily g]

So nice to meet you Lesta! Thanks for all the hard work you did for this--it was amazing!

[Zaknafain]

great shots!
thanks a lot everyone...
halfmonk (was great sharing the room with you guys), darkwolf, christ, darktwin, tobi (dude, I really learned a lot from you), idiot apathy (thanks for that print! AWESOME!), romance, patriciaS (and everyone else who was with us at the SAM), leander, interceptor, rob rey and everyone else I forgot

thanks to everyone who helped organising this thing!

[Ray of the Dead]

i'm just getting over the jetlag and a serious case of the flu, so i want to appologize for the belated response but i just wanted to thank everyone for everything they did, everyone who had anything to do with holding that event, it was truly life changing, the most inspiring thing i've ever had anything to do with. you guys said a lot of things that changed my life, changed the way i see and do things. thanks again, looking forward to the next workshop in the states...
