The Pure Speculation Festival is coming up on October 18th and 19th, 2008! It’s going to be at the Hazeldean Community Centre again, which proved to be a very gracious host last year. I’ll be there as a vendor again. I’ll be bringing copies of Rent-A-Thug: First Offence (36 pages, including ten print-exclusive pages, for only $5!), Rent-A-Thug baseball caps ($25, very limited supply), and Charlie No-Aim and G-Fresh prints (only $1 each!). I’ll also be debuting a new print, Hockeypocalypse (also only $1).

I’ve had a bunch of people ask for that illustration to be made into a print, and now it is! I’m also going to be working on a piece for the Pure Spec art show, although I’m not sure what exactly it’s going to be yet. It might be Hockeypocalypse-related. The Oilers pre-season just got started a few days ago and it’s got me itchin’ to draw some hockey playing mutants.

In non-Pure Spec news, I added three new drawings to the Illustrations page. I’ve been doing research on the Canadian Corps fighting in World War I for one of my classes and it got me inspired. Speaking of illustrations, I did a drawing for Rudi Gunther of Deathworld fame that popped up in his guest art gallery at some point without me noticing it. If you want to see a big ol’ robot, check it out.

So to recap: I’ll be at Pure Spec, come say hi. Also, Steve Rolston of Queen & Country fame will be there. And game designer Monte Cook of D&D (and like a thousand other RPGs). I have no idea how the Pure Spec folks managed to get such big-name guests, but good on ’em for it.
