Art Out Loud!

A really fun day is ahead at The Society of Illustrators in New York City. On September 24 from 1 to 5 pm, we're scheduled to do painting demonstrations alongside 3 of our buddies and fellow illustrators, Donato Giancola, Greg Manchess, and Rick Berry. The link is HERE
We did this a few years ago and had a great day painting and visiting with everyone. Plus, the Society of Illustrators is just a great place to visit!

Upcoming Conventions!

We're scheduled to be at a few conventions in the upcoming months, so we thought we'd let you know about it!

First, we've been invited to speak at The Calendar Club Conference in Austin, TX on August 5 and 6.

Next stop is Reno, NV where Boris will be the guest of honor at World Con. We'll be joined by our sons, Anthony and David Palumbo as well as Winona Nelson, in giving several talks and painting demonstrations. We'll be there from August 17 through August 20.

Also, along with David Palumbo, we were judges for the art show at Dragon Con where we'll be attending September 2 to September 5 in Atlanta, GA. Anthony Palumbo and Winona Nelson will also join us and, again, we'll be participating in lots of panel discussions (especially a really cool one about our upcoming Tarot Deck and book).

In November, we'll all be going to Illuxcon (November 3 through November 6) in Altoona, PA. We'll be in our usual cozy spot, up in the crow's nest, doing painting demonstrations most of the time.

Also in November, we'll both be the Artist Guests of Honor at Philcon (November 18 to November 20) in Cherry Hill, NJ.

Busy, busy, busy! And thanks to all of those painting demonstrations, we'll still be able to get our work done! See you there!
