Last week a friend of mine passed away. It was a bit of a surprise considering she was 19, and from what I can tell it was due to complications from diabetes. Britney Carle was too young to leave us. In lieu of flowers, her family asked us to make donations to The American Diabetes Association.
As I usually do, I found some creative way to acknowledge the loss of someone. This time, however, I am putting the painting on eBay, and all the proceeds will go to the aforementioned American Diabetes Association. Please take a look and if you feel like you can spare some cash, bid.

Hello web denizens,
I enjoyed Philcon this year. If you missed it, I had a blast with the “Images of Women in Art” and “Women in the fridge” panels. I met some great people there and had fun. My next con is Genericon, I hope to see you there!
The Pill Diary is available. In dealing with any illness that is treated with medication, there are side-effects. However difficult it is, you must work with your doctor to find the right balance of medication. This book is a tool to bring that balance to your life. Now with "The Pill Diary", you and your care-giver can work together to determine what works and what doesn't work. Order yours today at: http://www.lulu.com/content/1207468
The FuMP is here! The FuMP, the Funny Music Project, just put out Volume 4 and Volume 5 is out now, their collection of songs that were on their web page. Each week they post two new songs and every two months they release a collection with the songs, plus bonus material. I designed these CDs including the front and back covers. The CDs have music by Rob Balder, Paul and Storm, Sudden Death, Worm Quartet, Luke Ski, Possible Oscar and many others. The CDs are available for $10 either on http://www.thefump.com or from me in person at conventions.
I am proud to announce that I am Publications Director of RavenCon 2008.
Speaking of RavenCon, last Con, I rolled out some new prints. They are extremely limited in the print run. There are only 5 in the series. These three striking prints can be purchased as a set or individually. It is $20 each or $50 for all three, as a set. I will get them online so you can see them for yourself.
To push forward a more serious presence on the web, you can find a more complete portfolio at http://www.portfolios.com/jandrewworld. Also, I have been moonlighting as a graphic designer and to see the portfolio for that, check out: http://www.creativehotlist.com/jworld . The website is still in the works, but I have more on that below.
Attending conventions is not cheap and although I am often a guest, I still have travel and accommodations expenses to contend with. So that means I have to scrimp and save. That means I need you to buy swag or even make the odd donation at my paypal account. If you donate $10, I will send you an autographed print; a $25 donation will land you an original sketch; and $50, a black and white piece. Also, don't forget to visit my web-store.

If you would like a copy of the James R. Stratton book, Mens Rea, please send me $5 with $2 shipping & handling. Mens Rea is a collection of short stories. My favorite stories are "Meatbag" and "Damn Near Dead."

Hello web denizens,
Shore Leave was great. It was a very friendly con! I enjoyed working with the children in my art class. Plus I got to see the fabulous Nichelle Nichols.
At RavenCon I rolled out some some new prints. They are extremely limited in the print run. There are only 5 in the series. These three striking prints can be purchased as a set or individually. It is $20 each or $50 for all three, as a set. I will get them online so you can see them for yourself.
To push forward a more serious presence on the web you can find a more complete portfolio at http://www.portfolios.com/jandrewworld. Also, I have been moonlighting as a graphic designer and to see the portfolio for that, check out: http://www.creativehotlist.com/jworld . The website is still in the works, but I have more on that below.
The talented Ross Nover is teaching me things and I will be working with him to build the page. If you want to see more of Ross Nover’s work, he has two, count ‘em, two webcomics he is involved with. Check them out here: http://www.notquitewrong.com/ and http://www.rocketsrockout.com/
Speaking of exciting news, I was nominated for a 2006 N3F (National Fantasy Fan Federation also known as a Neffy) award for best Fan Artist. Nominees are: Lynn Masamitsu, Marc Schirmeister, Steve Stiles, J Andrew World, and Hugo award winner Frank Wu. They announced the winner at Dragon*Con in Atlanta in September, but I still don’t know who won! I’ll let you know when I do.
Attending conventions is not cheap and although I am often a guest, I still have travel and accommodations expenses to contend with. So that means I have to scrimp and save. That means I need you to buy swag or even make the odd donation at my paypal account. If you donate $10, I will send you an autographed print; a $25 donation will land you an original sketch; and $50, a black and white piece. Also, don't forget to visit my webstore.
***IN PRINT***
As I announced sometime back, I have been taking classes at a local college. Recently the House is looking at a bill that will hinder artists rights. I was asked to write an editorial on the Orphan Works Act and it is appearing in The Red and Black, the school newspaper. I also hope to take this editorial to other homes in print this year.
A small volume of short stories called Mazes by Michail Velichansky is out. Velichansky is a talented young writer whom I know you will hear more about in the future. I did the cover for this great collection of stories! If you would like a copy of this book, please send me $5 with $2 shipping & handling.
If you would like a copy of the James R. Stratton book, Mens Rea, please send me $5 with $2 shipping & handling. Mens Rea is a collection of short stories. My favorite stories are "Meatbag" and "Damn Near Dead."

Hello web denizens,
What an amazing Balticon! I had an absolute blast and so did everyone else. During the Larry Niven signing, I posted a sign that said “Will sign Larry Niven books for no reason” and I signed a total of three books. I even got an unofficial invite to be a part of Children’s Programing at Shore Leave. I want to thank everyone for you help for making Balticon a success.
At RavenCon I rolled out some some new prints. They are extremely limited in the print run. There are only 5 in the series. These three striking prints can be purchased as a set or individually. It is $20 each or $50 for all three, as a set. I will get them online so you can see them for your self.

| May Update: Cinco de Mayo means free comic books |
[May. 3rd, 2007|12:45 am] |
May Update
Hello web denizens,
RavenCon was great, if you missed it then it is your loss. I had a blast running the “Crash Course on Anatomy Workshop” this year and got wonderful feed back. Next year the con will move to a larger hotel. Look for announcements soon about guest of honor for next year!
At RavenCon I rolled out some some new prints. They are extremely limited in the print run. There are only 5 in the series. These three striking prints can be purchased as a set or individually. It is $20 each or $50 for all three, as a set. I will get them online so you can see them for your self.
Free Comic Book Day is right around the courner. I highly recommend on Saturday, May 5th you head down to your local comic book shop and pick up some free comics. There are four things I am looking foward to and I recommend you should pick it up as well. First of all Mike Baron and Steve Rude’s sci fi epic returns in Nexus Special 2007. Steve Rude is an amazing artist and this well crafted series has been in print for over 25 years getting people ready for the new mini series to continue the saga. I also recomened Robert Kirkman’s Astounding Wolf-Man # 1 2007 for good horror action. Want something for the kids? Owly & Korgi 2007 is a great one for the begining reader. There are no words in Owly and every story has the makings of an instant children’s classic. Perfect for begining readers. Finally Amelia Rules! Hangin’ Out 2007 gets high marks from me. Amelia Rules! Is a fun series about an eight year old girl and her friends, that combine classic comic strip mentality and fully fleshed out stories that is great for all ages.
At the end of May is Balticon. Balticon is held over Memorial day weekend, and is an absolute blast. I hope everyone can cruise on by and check it out, my work will be in the artshow, and I hope to get a table in Artist Alley.
To push forward a more serious presence on the web you can find a more complete portfolio at http://www.portfolios.com/jandrewworld. Also, I have been moonlighting as a graphic designer and to see the portfolio for that, check out: http://www.creativehotlist.com/jworld .

A small volume of short stories called Mazes by Michail Velichansky is out. Velichansky is a talented young writer whom I know you will hear more about in the future.

April Update
Hello web denizens,
April is here which means Ravencon is right around the corner. I will be debuting three new limited edition prints there. Also, I will be doing a poster for the Capclave party. You can find me in the dealer’s room and on many interesting panels such as “Crash Course In Anatomy” and “New Shows on Sci-Fi.”
To push forward a more serious presence on the web you can find a more complete portfolio at http://www.portfolios.com/jandrewworld. Also, I have been moonlighting as a graphic designer and to see the portfolio for that, check out: http://www.creativehotlist.com/jworld . The website is still in the works, but I have more on that below.
November found me designing shirts for a fund raiser for Oasis Christian Center. If you’re interested in buying a shirt and helping out the center, contact John Colonnello at jcolonnello@si.rr.com.
This October I had a big freelance job. At the 2007 RavenCon, Balticon, and Capclave, there will be a Worldcon bid party for 1984. For those of you who don’t know, different clubs bid for Worldcon to come to their city. Then members of the WSFS (World Science Fiction Society) can vote to where the con will be held. Washington Science Fiction Association is putting in a joke bid for 1984: A Brave New Worldcon, making reference to the novels Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell and Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. You can find the tee shirts I designed for them here: http://www.printfection.com/1984

They announced the winner at Dragon*Con in Atlanta in September, but I still don’t know who won! I’ll let you know when I do.
