The closing for my show "The Audacity of Bubblegum Mechanics" and Joshua Vance's show "Louisville Portraits" will be this coming Friday. If you missed the opening, I hope you can make it to the closing of my 15 minutes of fame in Louisville. :-) And of course you are more than welcome to drop by the gallery during regular business hours. For more info please go to The Tim Faulkner Gallery.
Tim put together a video featuring mine and Joshua's work. If I imbedded the code correctly you should be able to view it below.

Dilation Exercise for March 2009
As I mentioned in a previous blog, Alan Clark is running the monthly Dilation Exercise Contests. This month I will be joining him with my own Dilation Exercise. I hope this will be a fun work out for your imagination and I encourage you to participate with comments. If you come back to the blog and can't find this post, look for it in the "Dilation Contest" label.
Please look at the picture and imagine for it a one sentence caption of dialog and a one sentence caption of narrative. Write these down and transmit the sentences to me via the comments option at the bottom of this post. Try to produce captions that compliment the image without overly defining what's going on in the picture. It helps if the captions suggest something beyond the picture plane. For examples of these captioned images and more information about this project and contest, go to Imagination Work Out and Contest.
The title of this painting is not important here. More important is what happens in your imagination when you view the image. What's going on here?
As Alan does with his contest, I will choose my favorite of the captions offered for the March '09 Dilation Exercise and declare a winner on or about the 31st of March, 2009. The winner will have the image with his or her caption and name entered into the “Dilation Exercise” album in the coppermine gallery on my web site. The winner will win an 8" x 10" matted print of the contest image. It will be necessary to have the winner's shipping address in order to deliver the print. Sorry, but the print prize will only be delivered to an address within the continental United States.

HYPERICON 5-DEEPSOUTHCON 47
Things are going swimmingly at the present.
My show opening at The Tim Faulkner Gallery (my first extended gallery showing in Louisville) is less than two weeks away.
I have my online gallery re-established (albeit sans the image info).
My online shop is now good to go (thank you again Deborah!).
And to top everything off, I'm going to be the Artist Guest of Honor for Hypericon 5!
This year Hypericon 5 is also DeepSouthCon 47, so by proxy I'm Artist Guest of Honor for two conventions at once. Not bad for this bucolic little country mouse. With all of the wonderful talent out there to choose from I'm sure selecting a guest artist was not an easy task, so I'd like to again thank Hypericon chairmen Fred Grimm for according me this tremendous honor.
Hypericon is an extraordinary convention. The fans are wonderful and the roster of professional talent that attends is growing yearly. Last year I participated in a painting demonstration with Guest of Honor Alex McVey and the multi-talented Deena Warner. This year we hope to once again provide a demonstration/workshop. I'll keep you posted on the details.

Living in the Dead of Winter
Whew, what a month. I have my site (sans the Coppermine Gallery pages) back up. My online shop met its demise in the server crash, but is in the process of being created once again by the talented Deborah Jones (thanks again Deborah!).
2008 was a turbulent year but finished on a high note. In November I took a chance and approached Tim Faulkner, owner of the Tim Faulkner Gallery (TimFaulknerGallery.com) with a portfolio of my recent work. He liked what he saw and is now featuring my paintings among the works of other Louisville talents such as Terry Tapp, Jen Goodell and Joshua Vance.
Tim was kind of enough to write up a piece about me on his blog at Louisville Mojo. You can read it here.
During the month of March he will be hosting a show of my work and Joshua's. The show will open on March 6th. Please drop in and have a look.
In other news of the New Year, Alan M. Clark has devised an online project which I will be a part of.
The goal of the project is to bring the viewer into the creative process by encouraging him or her to devise captions and dialogue for a featured piece of work. You can read more about it at The Imagination Fully Dilated Blog.
Back to the internet drawing board. I'm going to once again attempt to set up the Coppermine Gallery. Wish me luck.

Technical Difficulties
My website is currently down due to a massive server crash. As the wreckage is sifted for remains of life I am frantically, well at least concernedly, working to get things set up at a new server. Fear not. I shall return shortly.
And a belated Happy New Year!

Covers and Conventions
And here is yet another long overdue blog entry.
Business first. Here is the cover for the wonderfully suspenseful novel The Master of the Moors by Kealan Patrick Burke and published by Necessary Evil Press. This was one of the projects that I had to keep under wraps until the official notification.
More information is available at the NEP site and Kealan's site.
This is the cover for Norman Prentiss's upcoming poignant and eerie short novel "Invisible Fences", published by Cemetery Dance Publications. You can read more information at Norman's site. Keith Minnion created the interior illustrations. You can see more of his work at KeithMinnion.com.
Last but not least, here is the cover for the reprint of "The Necronomicon", edited by Robert M. Price and published by Chaosium Inc. Information is available at Chaosium.com.
And to finish up this post, here are a selection of photos from my busy summer of conventions.

Camp Necon
And GenCon.
