There is always too much to do...

We have been working over time the past month; he on "The Price of Tea" (the comic book) and D*Con art show paintings and me on the details of the business and trip. We certainly haven't been pushing to add more to our plate. However, that whorl-wind is not slowing and with D*Con more then 100 days away we're ready for more. Very soon I hope to send out e-mail updates about the website and our first set of postcards. To be a part of all this just cruse to our website ( www.nydwyngreendragon.com ) and sign up for the mailing list.

Some news on the comic front.  We have decided that the first printing of "The Price of Tea" will be in a very limited edition (only 100) 26 page book.  They will be unveiled at DragonCon along with two promotional mini-posters.  We will have to wait a little longer for the sample inking, but CJ has completed the first full color painting related to "The Price of Tea." What makes this even more awesome is that it is also the first look the public has to the main character and a hint at the story line.  And for your pleasure I present the painting:

                                                 "Dragon" from "The Price of Tea"
                                           (You can visit the "Exciting News" page on the website to see a larger version.)

This is a huge painting: 20" x 28" and it will be advailable to see and purchace framed in the DragonCon art show. 
 
I love to see art born....  Hear from you all soon!

Fine Art, Comic Books, and Magic

Word from the lair in the fine art field is that CJ will soon (if not already) have finished his largest painting going up in the art show at D*Con.  I think it looks very dynamic and is certainly one of his best.  It is certainly influenced by the comic book, but that is how NGDS works.  We make fine art from stories.  If he decides to put it on the website I'll be sure to let everyone know for a sneek peek.  However, there is nothing like seeing it face-to-face.  It's especially true for watercolors.  There is so many layers and depth to the medium that a scanner can only pick up so much or it blends the layers together.  Somethings will never be replaced with computers; two being the art of paint on paper and the magic of the hand that creates it. 

As some of our fans know we have been slowly allowing the tightly gaurded details of our comic book to be exposed leading up to the unveiling at DragonCon.
However, we have a wonderful problem that you can help us with.  The first book will be at the printers in July but our problem is that we're not sure what would be better; a single limited edition (100 count) 46 pg comic, a unlimited print 26 page trade paperback, or a combination?  I've posted the poll on the "dragoncon" Journal Page so if you want your say in the matter I would love to hear about it.  Hopefully we'll have an answer soon and if I'm really nice to CJ he might let me put an inked page up on my personal journal as a preview for everyone.  As a reward for helping us here is a clue just for DragonCon Journal Readers and Friends.  If you love traditional Japanese history, you'll love "The Price of Tea."

I have just updated my profile and have decided to make this my personal journal about being art-rep and manager of CJ Bloomer and Nydwyn Green Dragon Studio.  Since CJ has his own blog in his website and I would like to have my own personal place to talk about our work.  So be sure to check it out and I'll keep you posted as exciting things come up for us.

Next Step Complete

We were super lucky to get one of the last rooms in the cheapest hotel two blocks from D*Con for all six nights.  We have the rent-a-car, the hotel, and tickets.  All the lagistics are good.  Now if we can only get the comic book and the 2008 sketchbook to the printers; paintings completed and framed; posters and prints picked out and made....  There is still so much art stuff on top of the everyday human needs like new clothes, food, and all the other minor details.  I sound like I'm complaining; I'm not, I love every second of it.  Luckly we have 4 months and we're ahead of schedule.  I'll keep everyone up-to-date.
