Hey Alan, any chance to see higher res pics of your fantasy work?
Best shot is through the website, www.reverierealm.com, and click the thumbnail you want to view, then click the picture on that page for an 11'x14" @ 72 ppi. That's the largest without actually placing an order. 
Quote: Also did you use models, stock photos or paint the scenes? Just curious.
I try to paint as little as possible but some painting, like starfields/planets, spell effects, dust is unavoidable. I buy some stock photos for backgrounds when I cannot shoot them myself, castles are damned hard to come by in North Carolina, but I photograph all the models in studio or, sometimes, on location. Some of the detail work is miniatures.

They're all awesome looking from what I can see.
Thank you very much, its a labor of love I assure you

Nope, I'm Mr. October. Mr. March is Allen Wold, a fantasy author who lives in the area. (He is wrapping up what I believe is his ninth novel)

Perfect! Exactly what I was looking for!
Oh and I love that you've got Saruman's staff in "The Alchemist"

That's a flattering thought, Nathan. If people would be interested, I would donate a calendar as a prize, certainly.

I've not had much time to play here and for that I apologize, but things have been very busy for me. For instance;
I am showing at two events this weekend, one an art show here in Durham, and Sunday a Celtic Music Festival in Raleigh. Nothing like spreading one's self thin.
Also, the new 2010 calendar has been released. This is my third year of publishing one.

More stuff here:

And last, but not particularly least, the new issue of Heavy Metal Magazine has hit the stands and I am a featured artist with one of my images included. I haven't seen it yet but a friend with a subscription says it looks good.
Screw it, I'm jazzed.
Wow, fantastic work here Al, I will be purchasing a calender from the website!!! cant wait to see the images up close!

Great idea Nat! 
I think some of Al's artwork would be an awesome prize! Hell I'd enter that comp. Wouldn't win but I'd try to!

Well, I received three complimentary copies of Heavy Metal today and my image is on the masthead page across from and running onto the table of contents. Great visibility. (in more ways than one) 
OK, I am jazzed again.
And nancers, how did it go today?

It went very well...no offer was made, but he was interviewed for almost 2 hours, and he felt he connected with the General Manager. He was invited back to meet the business unit managers that he would work with if he is hired.
If they didn't like him, he would not have been there for that long...30 minutes and he'd have been out the door. Right? RIGHT???
Cross fingers!!! (thanks for asking)
