Artwork at Archon 43

All sorts of Images of Interest I did not receive the same license to shoot pictures at the Archon 43 Art Show as my rare opportunity afforded by Peri Charlifu to photograph his artwork at FenCon XVI, But I’d like to highlight three of the artists who are showing artwork at Archon 43, even so. Mitchell Bentley Archon 43’s Artist Guest of Honor is Mitchell Bentley, who owns Atomic Fly Studios. I’ve known Mitch since he and I were both very young, and just beginning to work out what sort…

Cleaning up our act

The Artdog Image(s) of Interest  Last week’s Image of Interest opened my month’s Image theme of volunteering in our community as a way of making the world a better place.
