Sign in and introduce yourselves if you are attending Revelations!!

[Jason Manley]

Hey All,

Plz take a moment to say hello if you are going to be attending. It would be good to get introductions out of the way for those that do not know each other.

Please introduce yourselves!

I'm Jason, I am attending Revelations from Bangkok Thailand and Massive Black. To those I know already, it will be great to see you again. To those whom I have yet to meet, I am looking forward to it! See you all there!!! :)

Jason took this pic, as we were running through the sidewalk getting covered in roaches and centipedes who were trying not to drown by using us as a raft.... The locals were standing under cover pointing and laughing at us as we (ok, maybe just me) screamed hysterically hoping in circles swatting crawlies off...

And finally, here's a photo of me taking photos of the grass for my texture library, with my dog Monster. :bashful:

Hi all, I am Kathryn and I will be walking across the street
from where I teach in the Game Arts program to attend. :)
I was at SanFran05 but haven't made any since,
so I am pretty excited about seeing everyone
again, and I have been "selling" the workshop to all my students,
and quite a few of them are going to make it, too!

Hello, I'm Stephen, 20, from Boston. I'm currently majoring in art history and am an aspiring concept artist/oil painter. I went to the Montreal workshop but fell right into the trap of being too shy, so I'll be back with a vengeance and a new portfolio :)

[Delxen]

Hi I'm Jeff, 20 years old and from NYC. I'm a senior at the Fashion institute of Technology for illustration and I've been painting digitally since high school.

[Madman!]

Hey I'm Nathen I'm 26 live in Seattle. I graduated from Art Institute of Seattle, got a degree in Graphic Design which I haven't used. I've been super lazy drawing since I graduated and want to switch to illustration and concept art, so I've been studying on my own not going so well. Hope this workshop will get me off my lazy ass and draw more.

[Darktwin]

Hey everyone, my Name is Darron, I'm a student in San Francisco, My first workshop was Insomania, I'm so excited for Revelations!!! I've been busy working hard to improve my skills.

Hector Ortiz, 32, NYC, Web + product designer (tired of both... very)

I'm traveling to meet fellow designers mostly. I'm working extremely hard after work and weekends in order to land a job illustrating all day long. I hope this workshop can help me to get an idea where to start to get to the illustration / concept art business. This is my first CA workshop and I hope, really hope to meet awesome people that might help me get better and of course give something back to whoever needs advice. I would like to be the crappiest designer on the floor those 4 days just to be able to learn from everybody.

[silvestri99]

Howdy Howdy Howdy, Insomania was the first CA workshop I went to and I vowed I would attend one a year from then on...luckily the next one was in my home town! I am currently doing freelance on the side as I work in the hospital maintenance field full time. I want to switch to doing Art full time in the next year so this will be a big kick off for that dream. I also attended AIS. You'll be able to recognize me by my bag...but I won't be bringing my youngest daughter along! Can't wait to see everyone!

[Halfmonk]

Greetings,
Grant here, I'm making a pilgrimage from the UK to attend. This'll be my first workshop and I cannot wait! Looking forward to meeting you all and drawing lots!

[SprayNation]

Montreal was a very beneficial experience for me. That trip ultimately helped guide the direction of my art. My name's Eric and I'm a concept artist out at Raven Software. I Hope to soak a ton of knowledge out of this trip :). I encourage younger artists that are serious about art to go. Yes, even if their parents have to come too, lol. They will love Coro's weaponized sex-toys anyway :D.

[K-bot]

Eric, stoked your coming! I have been a quiet stocker of yours for all while now, I really admire allot of your stuff. I had more junk to say, but I PMed you so that this thread can stay on point!

[Sig.NAL]

Hello. I am Nils Larsen from Auburn, AL. 23 yrs. old. Been working as a tattoo artist at the newest shop in town, and i've recently reached a noticeable level of comfort in my work since i began learning the ropes two years ago. we're still pulling it together and building our clientele after some bumps in the road. But as i'm in a college town the business lull from november to december is crippling when you have to be in the same place for nine hours every day.

This will be the first CA/MB workshop I've attended, and the first vacation i will have taken in two years and I'm so excited to attend this workshop and learn alongside all of you from the best in the biz. Concept art fundamentally encompasses all art in some form or fashion and whatever fields of art i pursue i'm certain will benefit from this experience. Hope to make this a yearly thing. See you all there! /../<a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w168/http://nadelmacher/Photo195.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"></a>

Greetings fellow friends! I am Dave Bolton, here also in Bellevue, WA 20 miles from the workshop. After traveling all the way to Montreal for the last workshop I am happy it came to me. I'm shacked up with JohnT and go to Digipen. I'm excited to meet all of you this time around, or at least some, but with so much learning lots of people seem to go into a sort of trance. If any of you see me don't hesitate to punch me or something. (don't worry, I train the Chinese Gung Fu!) Prepare to "have your brains melted".

I'm am very free spirited, passionate, creative, loving, cheerful, and goofy.

This is what I wrote on my blog the other day about REVELATIONS:
Its a bit scary to think of going so far away by myself but it's not as scary as the fact that I am going to be (most likely) the worst artist there. Thats not gonna stop me...I'll do anyting to be around the stuff I love, this is going to be like mana from heaven to me. Plus, you gotta start somewhere eh?

I'm soooooo excited excited excited excited excited EXCITED!

oooh and I've been lurking the forums off and on for a bit now....

gee guys, you're really making this trip even more and more exciting. chingon! ya stas, ahi nos vemos!

[S!R]

Good Idea on the name tag/avatar idea. I was thinkin about doing the same thing myself, because I too am horrible keeping rl and screennames straight..

Hear that folks?

Make yourself a nametag with a decent sized picture of your avatar to help retain those names of the awesome friendships we're all about to make.

[mindfields]

Sounds like a good idea to me. How about a template in common we all share?

I'll be doing a template soon.

[S!R]

Uh, ok. Here's a 'blank' if folks wanna use it.
I dont see much more pertinent info needed, unless you guys do....

Here's the blank, and mine.

[Aardvarkphil]

Hi I'm Phil Williams from Cardiff, UK. Sound engineer.

Newb artist and lovin' it. Just wish I had more time to devote to it. This is my first CA workshop. I can't wait, my excitement is pissing off everyone that works for and with me. And I don't care.

I'm still waiting for my booking confirmation email but the hotel is booked. Staying in the Days Inn. Arriving on the 1st Jan. staying till the 12th Jan. So plenty of time to check out Seattle's offerings. If anyone is arranging to meet up before and after the workshop, give me a shout too!


I CAN' T WAIT :xpld:

[Carnifex]

i was thinking more along the lines of this...:)
badge around your neck

[S!R]

Not to split hairs, but isnt the avatar attached to the person the most key element? Was in my mind...Plus might help to know where/what country that person is from..

Yer layout is more preferrable though...

The thought of wearing a nametag makes me cringe on a gut level but I think it worth it to retain peoples names.

[dan.man.86]

Solid template S!R

I think this will definitely be a good idea. I'm relatively new to the forum, but this will surely help me remember, or even recognize those that I shall run into at the workshop.

I shall have to copy this and make me own now :D

OH, and perhaps adding one's email address if they don't mind may be a good idea as well? *thumbs up*

Thanks again :)

it is yes,but some people (like me) change their avatars rather often in comparison :)
and i was thinking forum name,not real name ;)
pst,danman,email's something for your business card ;)

[Killer Napkins]

how about a space for forum name bigger.. then real name smaller underneath

[mindfields]

Revelations hang tag contest! hehe

[Killer Napkins]

haha do it... i suck at that stuff.. i think itd look cool if the rooster logo is on there too ;)

[S!R]

lol, ok....lets take a second to reassess:

Purpose of said tag: Name/personality retention.

I think it's ok if a person is into the idea, they make their own with whatever information or pictures they see fit.

Afterall we're all artists man, there's by very nature, gonna be as many different opinions on how to accomplish this as participants....:)

Not slaggin you Carnifex in the least...this is seriously funny.

Cheers all.

[Carnifex]

hehe,yeah...the workshop's already spawning creativity :D

[dan.man.86]

Heh, I guess our own creations would be interesting for sure....hmmmm.....at least I have some ideas to start from :D

Oh and Carnifex, I'm not fancy enough for a business card, nor do I think porfessional enough lol :P

[mindfields]

My take so far...

[dan.man.86]

Quick question though: Any idea how big you all plan to make these tags?

[S!R]

My opinion: Anything bigger then say a business card is gettin overkill territory...Its a simple aid not a god damn identity placard!!

:overhere:

[dan.man.86]

Check! Well thanks for the details everyone. I shall think up a design and get it out of the way for now :)
Sorry if I annoyed you with the questions and all. Just wanted to know what the rest of you were planning to do. That, and I'm really excited for my first workshop :P

[S!R]

No worries man, not annoyed....i generally cuss like a sailor any given occasion.

My first WS as well, and im puuuumped!

[alti]

solution - masking tape with nickname. nothing fancy, you want alot of people to do it, and not everyone will make a badge thing.

http://www.members.optusnet.com.au/alti/masking2inlg.jpg

[mindfields]

The badge idea was to use the avatar. I recognize more avatars than nicknames to be honest.

[John T]

Maybe something along these lines...

Hello, my name is Sarah Markley. I've been on these boards for a few years, and went to a workshop in San Fran a couple of years back. I haven't been active around here lately, not as much as I want to be, but I certainly will be now!

I started over with my art education and I'm now a year and a half through Digipen's BFA degree. Concept art is my aim, though, not animation. ;)

The workshop is in my hometown, so I'm waiting to see what Jason says about whether I can get the discount today or not. I can't wait to see all of you there!

[chaosrocks]

saphire do you have a piece in the girls TD?

I read somewhere we get an extention, although the winner is pretty much a forgone conclusion at this point

I still have no confirmation
crx

[smugbug]

Tuition email sent. I'm going.

Name is Patricia Smith - yes, that's my totally generic and boring name. For extra fun, my initials are PMS. I'm somewhat of a noob as only a couple of years ago, I decided to become a fulltime digi arteest.

Nervous as all hell - but with heightened anticipation. I intend for my nametag to be on my laptop as I expect it'll be open almost the entire frickin' workshop. Can't wait to meet a TON of happy, dazed, and like-minded folk.

Pics w/out glasses and how I'll look at the workshop:

[aaronmiller]

Hello from Chicago!
my name is Aaron Miller. This is my first workshop. I'm scared and freaked out and more then willing for the mind melt that is to come.
I spend way too much time doing design work and not enough doing illustration. So, I need to meet you people! I need a kick in the pants and pointed in the right direction. I'm shy so say hello!

I'm posting a pic of me in the early AM since I'm sure i'll look like this the whole time. Where's my redbull????

[BohemianChaos]

Hey guys and gals! My name is Janae, I'm 25, a libra, and like long walks on the beach... j/k!! :tihi:

But seriously... I'm currently working on my MFA at the University of Central Florida (in Orlando). I went to the Insomania workshop last year in San Francisco, and absolutely had a fantastic time, so I'm uber thrilled to be going to another one.

So here's me... hope to see you there! :wink:

[S!R]

Gulp.

[mindfields]

Hell yeah!

[JessiBean]

Well, I'm Jessica... recent VCU grad, 24, from the Washington, D.C. area. I FINALLY got everything sorted so I can go, I can barely contain myself. First workshop, but absolutely couldn't pass on this instructor lineup. Looking forward to absorbing lots of knowledge... And seeing all of you there.

236093


Villa -- I'm so glad you'll be there, I'd love to meet you!
Bohemian Chaos - girl, you are GORGEOUS. Looking forward to seeing you there :^^:

[silvestri99]

Ah Janae...thought you looked familiar...where you up in the traditional area a lot?

[cotron]

I'm gonna be at that shit for sure.

My name is Cody and I think deeply.

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a293/roboo69/IMG_0446.jpg

[Divorce]

Hay! My name's Jack, I'm 16, so I'll probably one of the youngest people there. I want to be an art teacher when I get out of high school, and a concept artist as a plan b/for some subject matter. I hope to get a lot about ideation and character design and maybe insight about color theory out of the workshop. Very nerve racking, but also exiting!

oh and this is I:

Hahaha, there are more in this series - one involves a donkey.

[strych9ine]

I'm Cody, some of you might know me from your most erotic fantasies. I'll be there.

[romance]

awweee yeahhhhh. I can finally get me some of that Tilson lovin'.

[cotron]

There's definitely going to be some uncomfortable Cody on Cody action. And you'll all have to watch.

[Moai]

*Hopes he doesn't share a room with anyone named Cody*

[strych9ine]

When alternate reality Codys collide, everyone will feel the unspeakable consequences that such an event produces. Moai first, and probably in an uncomfortable place. :spam:

[RiSK]

Howdy everyone!

My name is Rick and I'm currently in my 2nd semester at the Academy of Art in SF, CA studying Illustration. I took a hiatus from drawing from 7th grade - college, ended up with a Biology degree from Berkeley, then decided to actually pursue what I want to do. This will be my first workshop ever and am totally uber-excited to be there.

Hopefully I'll be able to gain some focus as to what exactly in art I'd like to do, as although concept art is something that really interests me, I'm also really into crafting, acting, slam poetry, and writing, so creatively I'm all over the place.

If anything, I look forward to meeting tons of cool people and picking up anything I can from all you talented uber-artists that are going to be there :)

And I look like this:

[zao75231]

Hello, I'll be going to the revelations. My name is Robert and well hope to meet a bunch of other artists without being so shy like last workshop and looking forward to learn new things and have lots of fun.

:)

[BohemianChaos]

JessiBean - lol... well thanks. :bashful:
silvestrei99 - indeed I was. Am I that recognizable?

Hey Cotron, I think remember you from the Altelier wine n cheese after party. :wink:

[Burtzum]

Just sent my email in for ticket info... once I get that sorted I'll buy my plane ticket and look for room mates.

this is what I look like as a cowboy:

I didn't think I was going, but life has wonderful surprises in every turn and I'm going!! All I need is airplane ticket, and then the roommate hunt!

Anyway I'm Karla... and I like to paint, draw and eat!!......yeah that's it.

Well excuse the ridiculous pictures; they were taken by an artsy photographer buddy, in my friend's living room the day of Halloween. :D

My hair is way darker than that and longer too. And I don't have a mole near my eye D:

Hey all
My name is Nathan and I'm a Concept artist for THQ.

I'll be coming to Revelations all the way from sunny, down under Australia. It will be my first time in US and I'm looking forward to learning heaps and meeting everyone.

Better go get some warm clothes!
http://www.gepart.com.au/nathan.jpg

[alti]

hey gep you know any other australians making the trip ?

[mindfields]

Oh man, I so want to travel to Australia. I hope I can do it soon.

[gep]

Hey alti, nope I don't know of any others. Might just be us two holding up the aussie flag.

Hey mindfields, its a great country make sure you make the trip!

[SprayNation]

gep and alti, you guys should try to get Bumskee up to the states. He lives out in Sydney. Really nice guy: very talented. His sketchbook is one of the most well known and most frequently updated sketchbooks on the forums.s

[Idiot Apathy]

I've been nagging bumskee for weeks! weeeeeeeks.

[alti]

its abit of a hit to the old savings account from australia, although probably more expensive from england.. although their pound is worth more than our dollar..

[SprayNation]

Nag for a few more weeks IdiotApathy. I'll join in too ;).

[MarkBehm]

Hey everybody. My name's Mark. I'm an animator (day job) and conceptual designer/illustrator (freelance). I'll be flying up from the bay area, CA. Looking forward to meeting some of you as I've been lurking around some of your sketchbooks for years.

I was at Insomania and it was CRAZY! I got a ton out of it but was completely overwhelmed. It was a frenzy of drawing, listening, watching, absorbing the information fire hose. I left no time to connect with anyone! I definitely don't want to do that this time. So this time take my pencil when they close the doors and drag me away for a beer!

[chaosrocks]

one can drink and draw at the same time.... just put the beer in the non-domenant hand

[jojomonster]

I'm looking forward to meet some guys with better oil painting skills to get some advice…:dur:
Futhermore, I'm excited to see fellow artists from all over the world and other branches of the entertainment industry, just to chat and exchange experiences.

Hey all.

My name is Steve Strickland, and I currently attend AiPX.

I currently suck ass at digital painting, but I love to do it and look forward to learning how to do it properly. I can't wait to see the greats and learn from them.

It's my birthday present. :teeth: I'm not saying which one, however.

I usually work in watercolor or on a computer, sometimes pen and ink. I'm working a day job as a utility artist for a local company, with some freelance and personal satisfaction work after hours.

Won't be travelling far - I'm just across the bay in West Seattle.

Looking forward to see all my friends and.. meet new ones.

[Blagsquid]

Hi im matt just sent my sign up email, fingers crossed theres still places, im traveling over from the UK and totally stoked for it.

This is a a reference of myself i took when i was practicing portrait drawing about 8 months ago, you would think it was made black and white but actually its from the perpetual rain cloud that hovers over england. It will be nice to see what sky and light look like again.

Cant wait to see you all there !!!

[chaosrocks]

Oblio that coat is amazing! all my costumer's instincts are fizzling
see you in seattle

[Burtzum]

This is a a reference of myself i took when i was practicing portrait drawing about 8 months ago, you would think it was made black and white but actually its from the perpetual rain cloud that hovers over england. It will be nice to see what sky and light look like again.


Clear skies? Dude... you're going to be in Seattle. In January. >:D

[Blagsquid]

Surely it cant be worse than england? can it?

[smugbug]

Surely it cant be worse than england? can it?

It's very close to it. I do know for sure that it's worse than Portland. So, when it's slightly overcast in Portland, it's totally GREY in Seattle.

When it's raining in Portland, it's a thunderstorm in Seattle - hehe. Something like that.

Just be prepared for ANY weather - it's been crazy around here these last couple of years.

[schlichte]

greetings all, im andrew schlichte im a senior at purdue university studying cgt and a little art and design, hope to see old and meet new friends

[Gonzo]

Hey folks, my name is Ryan Bullock and this will be the 3rd workshop I've attended (Austin and San Fran being the previous ones). I'm uber excited about this since I live about 2 miles from the workshop and work about a mile away in Pioneer Square. If anyone has questions about Seattle, feel free to PM me.

It's been quite a long time since I've posted here and hopefully that will change. I hope everyone is ready for a killer time. :xpld:

[Burtzum]

Surely it cant be worse than england? can it?
I've actually never been to Seattle or England. I just know that Seattle is often called 'the rain capital of the world'. But after doing some research this appears to be a misnomer. It doesn't rain anymore in Seattle than in Washington DC! Pffft! Apparently it just looks like its gonna rain all the time, almost always cloudy/overcast. I've read the weather is really unpredictable though. I think I'll keep a small umbrella in my backpack for walks to and from Days Inn.

[Blagsquid]

ahh well im not going for the weather anyway, and besides saves me buying a different set of clothes :P

[Lander]

I'm Carl Wellander and I live in Nyköping and work in Stockholm SWEDEN.
Looks like there are going to be a few fellow countrymen going too. Sweet!
It's been a long time since I felt like this about anything. My work is nothing like this so it will be a blast.

[peter_john]

Hey folks,

My name's Peter J. Lazarski and I'll be hailing from Rochester, NY. This will be my first time at one of the conceptart.org/mb workshops so I'm pretty excited to see how things go. I'm excited to meet some of the good people round here in person and maybe drum up some new work.

Here's some visual reference if you see me around Revelations, just some photos of me with some dear friends:

[Donovan V]

Hey guys. Donovan here. I'm 28 and coming down from Anchorage Alaska. Drawing has been a passion of mine since about birth but not what I do for work unfortunately. Right now I do the whole computer programming / admin thing. Not very glam but it gets the bills paid :confident

The first two are from my stay in Vegas with some Family. Went to the Grand Canyon. Man that was cool. The last one is a pic of what is basically in my back yard. Just a little snippet of whats in Alaska.

Hi to JoJoMonster. Looks like were roomies. :} Hope to see Horror and our fourth post some pics / info too.

See you guys in Jan.

[Dark_Eyes]

See you all there!

[carpal]

Hello, my name is Matt and am studying illustration at Ringling. I have been to the two workshops in SF and can't wait for Seattle. It sucks when someone asks what you go by on the forum and you have to say "dot p z dot." It's not very catchy.

I already see that one of competitors for Last Man Standing will be there. (Hi Alice_) and I look forward to meeting everyone.

Anyway, here is the holiday card I sent to my parents this year. (I am on the right.) Happy holidays and see you after new years!

I'll be visiting some friends in Vancouver and taking the trip to Seattle from there.
If anyone is planning on taking a car from Vancouver I'll be happy to join. So send me personal message...

I'll be Crashing at the Days INN like plenty of others, and looking forward to it!

Just some annoying American tourist. He kept banging on the window with his pasty white hands. I hate it when they do that! If the glass wasn't in the way I'd slap those stupid sunglasses off of his face. Humans...

I've been doing freelance for 6 years with only about 2 years actually having some success in the field.

My sketchbook (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=87472&page=13), will give a good representation of my work.

Im 5'9, some would describe my physic as "soft", I have no camera so i hope this is a good enough for people to recognize me from...(i wont be wearing a cowboy hat, only worn that once in my life and it was for the painting).


Hope to make some friends and hang out with alot of you guys.

[Jacob Kobryn]

Cool Davi. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to meet you in person or not.

[Donovan V]

Wow, people from Europe, Mid East, Far East? this will truly be an international event. Very cool indeed.

[simply lost]

Heyas. Im Robin, and Im actually more a writer than a drawer. So I might be hunting down folks to incarnate the voices in this head. I might move to Seattle. Or Vancouver for film.

Hi everybody! My name is elyse and I am just a 20 year old art student.

This post is severely lacking of silly pictures but I am a bespectacled redhead of the female persuasion so I really shouldn't be that hard to spot.

This is my first workshop so I'm not sure what to expect. Good things I hope.

[Taffy]

My name is Maiko. I'm a 23 year old, short, japanese girl that loves to ride her bike. I am from San Diego, CA and am attending the art institute down here.

[courseCorrection]

Hi all,

I'm absolutely ecstatic about the workshop. It's hard to find a place (9 years outside of school) where there are so many creative minds, can't wait for the overload!

[Singularis Ars]

I'm really looking forward to this workshop, it will be my first. I hope to meet many other talented people, and learn a great deal. I'm currently doing animation as a contractor for apple. I'll be branching off to some new things when I'm done here, so I hope to learn, and make new connections.

Concept Art.org has helped me tremendously in my art, learning, inspiration. Thanks everyone!

[Jska]

Finally got the dough scraped together and am awaiting my confirmation email! This will be my 2nd workshop, Insomania in SF being my last one.

My name is Jska, I'm a newly liberated ex-retail worker now freelance artist (woot!) and am looking forward to meeting more great people and subjecting my brain to melt-age once again. Can't wait!! :)

[twinkledust9000]

[Main Loop]

Any great environment concept artists, texturers, or modellers that love Syd Mead's work going to this workshop? Talk to me, my bosses will want to see your work...

[Jason Manley]

Hey everybody!!!

where did you get that shirt?

[twinkledust9000]

haha one of my friends got it for me, i dunno where... but i love it! thanks for noticing :)

[Muttonhead]

Sean Murray / SAM. Lead concept artist at Big Huge Games. Coming in from the Baltimore area. This is my 2nd workshop... my first was the very sweaty Austin workshop, where even 8 AC window-units crammed underneath the garage door couldn't cut through the Texas summer heat. I'm guessing this one will be very different. Hah.

Another concept artist from Big Huge, Aaron Yamada-Hanff, will also be attending with me. His work is amazing, and his talent scares me....

See y'all there.

[davi]

haha one of my friends got it for me, i dunno where... but i love it! thanks for noticing :)

[SprayNation]

Hey Sean! Will you be bringing along Mr. Kenjison? LOL, we're old college buds. He has great things to say about you guys at BHG :D. Anyway, it'll be fun to see you all there.

Take care

Eric

[Catofglass]

hey, my name's Ashley, first term art center student, first workshop, first *everything!* excited, intimidated, and spazzing out to finally meet all these amazing artists. if anyone needs a ride/is driving from LA, let me know!

[nrek]

some know me, some don't, but that's a plus, right?

[desireeluv]

hey, I am seriously considering on going. First time. Im just not sure if i should go, i dont know anyone!

[Idiot Apathy]

Just doooo it. You'll meet people then you will know them! amazing.

[Metaleaf]

Metta Sommerville here, 22 years old. At the moment I'm a character modeller, rigger and occasional concept artist at Electronic Arts in Vancouver.

This will be my first workshop - I'm so excited :D

[Viradical]

Hey friends, my name's George, and I'm a 22-year-old who just graduated from the Evergreen State College. I'm a Seattle resident, and to my immense delight, Revelations is coming right to my doorstep as a late Christmas gift (w00t)! I'm looking forward to meeting all of you dedicated souls who are traveling great distances to be here.

I'm currently working on an animated music video for an album that my friend and I are about to release (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=283778525&MyToken=5b974209-a77f-4d0f-95a0-ce8c34617c98), I'm stoked to show it to you all in January! I hope to get a job as an illustrator for a Seattle game studio soon, but my primary aspiration is to be a full-time comic artist and writer. I love concept art, but I've come to think that the majority of games these days are mindlessly violent escapist consumer distractions. US culture is saturated with titillating entertainment media, and it keeps us pacified while corrupt corporate interests ravage the planet and cause untold human suffering. I've developed a fiery passion to use digital art as a means of spreading viral messages about waking up from consumer zombification and the need to struggle for genuine Democracy.

My portfolio site is www.viradical.com. If you like comics, please check out the free ones I have in there! "Fourth Front" is about media control and the military industrial complex, while "Hollowgram" is about a digital artist in a sci-fi near future who undergoes a mental shift with regards to her art career (I'm especially interested in showing that one to fellow artists here). Let me know what you think!

Still new at this drawing/painting thing, but it's a dream to do what I love and get paid for it!! I will be coming from San Francisco, I'm generally scared of new situations but I am soooooo excited about the workshop. Hopefully I can come out of my hole.... Oh yeah I will try to assemble my humble PORTFOLIO, I look forward to your feedback!!! See ya there!

[Donovan V]

hey, I am seriously considering on going. First time. Im just not sure if i should go, i dont know anyone!

I'm excited to get there and learn a ton, though I'm admitedly nervous to be flying solo knowing no one. Anyways I'll see you all there :] I'm looking foward to making some new friends

[Idiot Apathy]

No there will not
be another unicycle competition between myself, foster and ron. BUT instead

I bring this up every single time I talk about the workshop; "you know that Dan Milligan guy? I've seen him ride a unicycle. Yeah that's right, unicycle." and that's where I leave it.

[chaosrocks]

I used to be able to ride a unicycle....I can still juggle.

[burrito]

Hello. My name is Ryder. I have been drawing since the age of two. In 2002, I decided I would like to learn how to model in 3-D. In 2005, I joined CA and wanted to learn how to colour my drawings digitally. In 2008, I want to explore traditional painting and delve further into life drawing and study. Other than art, I am interested in snowboarding, travel, and sharing ideas.

I look forward to all of the sage advice and creative energy that's going to be present at Revelations!

[Sapphire]

Wow, I forgot a picture!

Well, here's one from the one day we got really great packing snow and built a snowman. I'm the girl. :) Also, I now have red-orange racing stripe-like streaks in my hair.
