South Winkie Con
Illusive Arts
Wow, have we got news for you. I mean, we've made announcements
before, and we've promoted conventions before, but this, this is
seriously awesome stuff. If you're a fan of Oz, and you're a fan of
comics (and if you're not, why are you even reading this?), prepare to
shiver with antici... pation.
And delight. Delight and anticipation.
Are you ready? Are you sitting down? Are you wearing your special
shivering pants?
This Saturday, November 10th, in beautiful Dana Point, California,
USA, the South Winkie Convention of the International Wizard of Oz
Fan Club will host a live, in-person, appearance and presentation from
legendary artist WILLIAM STOUT!
Dude! That guy is a legend! Check out his website:
http://www.williamstout.com/gallery/comics/ He's brilliant! He
worked with the Firesign Theater, he draws dinosaurs like whoa, he
does these amazing flying monkeys in that, y'know, sort of Berni
Wrightson/ House of Secrets style, plus he did design work on the
"Muppets' Wizard of Oz" thing. Not only that, he was the Production
Designer on perhaps the greatest zombie film ever made, "Return of the
Living Dead!"
So look, the South Winkie Con is a perfect chance to meet the man.
He's done amazing Oz work, incredible film stuff, and at any other
appearance he'd be mobbed by crowds. The advantage of South Winkie is
that it's intimate - everyone will be up close and accessible in that
marvelous Oz way.
Oh yeah, Illusive Arts will be there, too. You know our stuff. We'd
like to see you if you happen to stop by.
