Haha, awesome!

Did you PS Patrick and Francis onto the monitor in the pic with the semi-nude girl? lol, I can imagine someone saying "Noone will even notice when there's an almost nude girl there."

[Philipp Scherer]

yep, awesome modells! a lot of fun.

why do all the pro´s use a wacon intuos instead of a cintiq? is it just a matter of the price?
thanks :)

[TASmith]

So did the models have those costumes, or did someone hand 'em over and say, here, put this on?

[Beeston]

Got to have one of these in Australia sometime. Oh, I want to dream....

[Ninjac]

Looks like it was a great time. TAD represent!

[Thyname]

Yes, The screen was shopped.

The costumes were created and designed by Jennifer Ayers (http://www.ayersdesign.com/). Her booth was next door to ours and she dressed up our models.

Back for day 2

What a weekend.

Far too many showed up for the TAD event at WizardCon at the POD here in Austin. The costumed event poured in, and toured the space and the artists all stuck around to enjoy time working with the models and enjoying music and a lot of really interesting minds from the professional community.

Here are some pics.

And some more. The ladies are TAD's very own Alison who helps handle Admission and Samantha who is my assistant. They were muses for the evening as others were doing sketching, I was taking a few minutes to get some shots of their outfits made by Jennifer Ayers who has joined TAD now. Incredible costumes. That is the stairs behind my office right in the main portion of the ATX pod.

And some shots from the con too...even one of the guy who played Chewie in Star Wars. :)
