Every once in a while I do manage to get out of the studio, and bring along a few samples of my art and 'zines to art festivals and conventions around the country. Below is a list of the upcoming events I'm confirmed to appear at, with links to their sites for more information, where available. As well, if you're interested in a more historical perspective, you can click here for information on past shows, with photos and other nifty stuff.
    If you would like to receive an email notice when I will be at an event in your own neck of the woods, just go to the Contact Info and Mail List page. Note in the comment field you'd like to get an email notice of such events, and make sure to at the very least give me your name, email address , state and zip code. We'll use the state and zip code to help us know when we will be nearby, and send you an update note when we know we'll be there. You can then either come and visit in person, or will at least be warned to avoid that area should you wish!

July 18 - 20 / 2008	Lazy Dragon Con
	Dallas, TX     —    www.lazydragon.com/con
	Science Fiction and Fantasy Convention    The first one went so well last year, the guys from Lazy Dragon ( purveyors of fine swords, knives, and assorted bits of weirdness), have decided to do it again! Promoted as a "Relaxacon", it's a Sci-Fi/Fantasy convention with a lower profile, where you come to spend more time visiting and, well, relaxing, than trying to keep up with the usual round of three tracks of programming, panels and such. Like a big convention, only on a smaller scale. Word must have gotten out how fun it was, 'cause the guest list this second year is even bigger. I'll be at my usual spot in the dealer's room, so say hi and check out what's new from Jabberwocky.

August 15 - 17 / 2008	ArmadilloCon 30
	Austin, TX     —    www.armadillocon.org
	Science Fiction and Fantasy Convention    Wow, has it only been three decades since ArmadilloCon got started? How time flies when you're having fun! They are a bit modest about that record, as this is what they have to say on their website: "ArmadilloCon is a literary science-fiction convention held annually in Austin, with several hundred attendees. The primary focus of ArmadilloCon is literary science fiction, but that's not all we do -- we also pay attention to art, animation, science, media, and gaming. Every year, dozens of professional writers, artists and editors attend the convention. Sometimes they come to make deals, but more often they come to have fun!" Major guests this year include John Scalzi, Dean Morrissey, Bill Crider, and Joe and Gay Haldeman. Oh, and tons of other creative folks, including lil' Brad.

August 29 - September 1 2008	Arts Festival Oklahoma
	Oklahoma City, OK     —    www.occc.edu/afo/
	Juried Arts Festival    The layout has been changed slightly for the show this year, moving all the big tents into a side-by-side configuration, but it is still right there on the grounds of the Oklahoma City Community College, so you can't miss us! It's a long show, running over the four day holiday weekend, and featuring around 150 artists! There's a nice variety in this show each year, and I like that it leans the slightest bit more toward the 2-D hanging art than others. Lots to see, plus music and food and, like all these festivals, great people-watching to go with the art-watching.

September 5 - 7 / 2008	Lakewood Summer Arts Faire
	Dallas, TX     —    www.lakewoodsummerartsfaire.org
	Juried Arts Festival    This will be the first time I've exhibited my work at this local arts festival, and I'm looking forward to it. First of all, any indoor show in September in Texas is a plus for me! I'm also flattered to have been juried in, since they only have room for a few dozen artists. So drop by for some great art, good food, and check out the special "Art, Wine and Jazz Gala". I'll be there, will you?

September 19 - 21 / 2008	Jazz By The Boulevard
	Ft. Worth, TX     —    www.fortworthjazz.com
	Juried Arts & Music Festival    One of the most comfortable and nicely set up outdoor shows I do in this area, with the artist tents lined up along two sides of a small park in downtown Ft. Worth, and featuring some of the best live jazz around. This year the headliners include David Sandorn, Lee Ritenour, and Buddy Guy, and you can't beat that lineup. Come in early to check out all the great art, listen to music all day, then stay late for the headline preformers under the stars. It's free admission, and we can all afford that!

October 4 - 11 / 2008	Red River Revel Arts Festival
	Shreveport, LA     —    www.redriverrevel.com
	Juried Arts Festival    One of my favorite festivals each year, I'd do this one even if we won the lottery and I wasn't worried about money any more. A week long show held on a permanent festival site in downtown Shreveport, with dozens of musical acts and hundreds of artists, and tons of food. I hope you'll come one day to see my own work, but there is plenty of other great artists showing up each year as well. Come buy something from us before you go lose it all in the casinos just down the street!
