King of Diamonds- Zan

March 18th, 2014 | by Tara
Posted In: Blog

So the Spades are the 1960s, and the Diamonds are the Middle Ages. Around 1400-1500. Although it wasn’t in my original plan, I ended up drawing quite a bit of inspiration for the illustrations in this suit from Kenneth Branagh’s feature film interpretation of Henry V (love that movie!). I admit, I didn’t think too hard about the peculiar mental image of Zan as an English monarch able to inspire troops with a rousing speech (“We few… we happy few”), and then go on to emerge victorious from the Battle of Agincourt. You probably shouldn’t, either!

Queen of Clubs – Scavina

March 25th, 2014 | by Tara
Posted In: Blog

The illustrations for the Clubs suit ended up being set in the 1920s, and thus we have Scavina in a flapper-inspired dress with what a couple decades ago might have been a scandalous hemline. Zan in his Henry V garb may have looked like he was playing dress-up, but I think Scavina looks rather elegant.

Ad Astra 2014

Like many literary sci-fi and fantasy shows, Ad Astra is all about having a good time with your fellow attendees. The lack of the crushing crowds that can happen at shows like, say, Fan Expo means that I can actually enjoy some pleasant conversation with my fellow creators and sci-fi fans. However, because I go to these shows to sell my books I didn’t get to see much more of Ad Astra than the Dealer’s Room! Which looked a bit like this:

The red tablecloth of my table is just barely visible in the lower left. If you look carefully you can see a Mal cosplayer (no, not that Mal, the other Mal) also on the left side of the photo. My table, however, looked like this:

AdAstra2014-3

Hm, apparently I’m not at my table. Where did I run off to?

AdAstra2014-1

The Doctor failed to show up and give me a key, however. I guess my adventures through time and space will have to wait. Possibly until Fan Expo. That place is crawling with Doctors; surely one of them will give me a lift!

One last picture I want to share for the Doctor Who fans in the audience. I spotting the following just as I was leaving. I don’t know if it’s clear from the photo, but it was obviously made from one of those peculiar little wooden butlers holding a tray. I have no information about who made it, but if you had this at your house your parties would be guaranteed to be awesome:

… at least until it’s eyes turn red and it tries to kill all your guests. Erm.
