Finally decompressed after an amazing 5 days in Indianapolis attending the Gen Con gaming convention with the game company Mindtwister. I sold a lot of prints, signed a ton of Mindtwister games my art is on, made some great contacts for possible future work and had an amazing time enjoying what Indy had to offer. Here are some highlights of my trip.

Doodling behind the scenes between selling prints and signing Mindtwister games.

The crowd waiting to get in. Over 50,000 people attended.

Small corner of the universe called Gen Con.

This motley crew posed on the spot for me.

The show Bytes And Bits: The Art Of The Video Game, opens April 5 at the ZaPow Gallery in Asheville NC. Here is my submission for the show titled "Head Games". The theme for the show was to create an illustration that represented something to do with classic arcade video games. I wanted to create a conceptual image that represented early 80's video gaming. Prints for this image will be for sale here at www.fian.com soon. Any thoughts about the image?
