CJ has been working with the Mythic Imagination Institute and Imaginal Cells Filmworks to in an effort to produce a documentary. Entitled "The King and the Corpse," it is a traditional Indian tale made multi-cultural and analyzes the human relation to myth.  There are many big names associated with this work and we are certainly honored to work beside them.  Other artists include, Brian and Wendy Froud, Alan Lee, Charles Vess, and a plethora of others.  Three of our newest paintings in the gallery (link) (link) (link)are to be featured in the movie.  There is a third currently on the drafting table.  We have seen our part in the first cut version and it is beyond our wildest dreams awesome.  We are proud to anounce that you can now view the movie trailer!  With all the talent from the artists and producers it certainly proves to be truly awesome.  I will certainly keep you updated on new developments as we go, so keep checking back!

Workshops

CJ taught a workshop, "Fantasy Illustration with Watercolor," at the William King Regional Art Center in Abingdon, Virginia back in July.  It was a great success and we had a lot of fun learning some of the techniques that make CJ's art unique.  You can see some pictures of the class here.

Meet-the-Artist

The meet-the-artist event "The Blank Wall" was a lot of fun.  Amazingly he finished the 8'x24'charcoal drawing in less then 20 hours.  A true proof of CJ's skills.  You can see pictures of the finished wall here, or see the real thing at the William King Regional Arts Center in Abingdon, VA until the 10th of September.

Faery Festival

The festival was a wonderful success; everyone seemed to be having lots of fun and we met such wonderful people.  I'll have pictures up as soon as I can steal some from others.  We were so busy chatting with supporters, I admittedly forgot to take pictures.  Atleast, this stands a testimony to the fun we had.  Have no fear, Micheal Griff has saved the day and allowed me to use his pictures.  Thanks to everyone who stopped and talked with us and took home a little part of CJ's art.  I look forward to seeing everyone next year.
