Our special guest artist is the award winning Dave DeVries!

 

     Dave DeVries is an award winning illustrator/publisher of the book, The Monster Engine, which answers the question, “What would a child’s drawing look like if painted by a professional illustrator?”  The results are startling transformations of flat childlike imagery into fully painted illustrations.

     This technique came from Dave’s illustration work, primarily in the entertainment field-- specifically the comic book, advertising and video game markets. His clients include Dreamworks SKG, Lucasfilm, Universal Studios, Sega, Tor Books as well as Marvel and DC Comics, among others. His most notable comic works were in the trading card market, include the Marvel Masterpieces 95 set as well as work for both DC and Magic the Gathering card games. Recently, he completed a zombie Jughead painted cover for Archie Comic’s "Afterlife" series as well as multiple Sonic the Hedgehog covers.

      Currently, he works as an art teacher and professor for Jefferson Middle School and the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) respectively.

Great turnout yesterday with lots of happy dealers and customers! We welcomed back our friend Dave DeVries as our featured guest artist. His work is amazing... and everyone realized it... he never put his pencil down the entire day! We would also like to thank EVERYONE that contributed to a dear friend (and show vendor) who is recuperating from surgery.
