Preparing for FaerieWorlds!

Hello all! It’s Kendra again–Joseph and Donny’s handy intern. 

With less than a week left til FaerieWorlds, Donny, Joseph, Maxwell (their friend and model) and I are keeping plenty busy buying supplies, making lists, and printing images that they’ll be selling at the event.  According to Donny, we are more on schedule than usual, but there’s still plenty to do. But we’re all excited to see how the event goes, especially with the change in venue from Secret House to Mount Pisgah. 

If you’re attending, be sure to stop by the Time of Faeries booth and say hello!  There are free Time of the Faeries postcards for visitors! This will be the premier of the 2010 calendar as well as some new images. There will also be a little show of my own work. Hope to see you there!

Faerie Thrillpage

FaerieWorlds Festival is coming up guys! Let’s all head up to Eugene, OR for the biggest weekend of faerie fun this side of the Bubble.

Want to start celebrating now? Make these thrillpages your homepage!

We are completely thrilled (ha ha ha!) that FaerieWorlds chose J. Corsentino’s Time of the Faeries to help promote Faerieworlds by creating these nifty faerie themed homepages for your browsers. So, come by and choose your favorite faeries!

FaerieWorlds Festival! Cool!

Joseph Corsentino’s art is being used for Faerieworlds promotional materials. Cool! And what an honor! Hope to see everyone there!

Wrapping Up Faerieworlds Festival

I feel sad.  As I type Joseph, Tracy Cornett, and David Windham are packing up their booths at Faerieworlds Festival.  The last announcements are being made by Robert Gould and Brian Froud.  The fairies are wandering off into the forest for another year. 

It sounded like everyone had a good time, and I wish I was there.

Tracy and Joseph will get on a plane tomorrow bright and early and be back in Los Angeles in time to prepare for Comic-con.  There is much to do to prepare still.  But, starting tomorrow, I will be able to help them and take part in the festivities.  Onward to Comic-con!

Performance at Faerieworlds Festival

Here’s a photo of a performance from Faerieworlds Festival from last night.  Today is the last day for the festivities!  If you are in the area, come visit Time of the Faeries, David Windham, and Tracy Cornett as well as the Frouds and all the amazing performances.  The reports are that Saturday was simply amazing.

Those of us who couldn’t go can live vicariously through photos like these.  Let’s plan to be there next year!

Selling Time of the Faeries Book like Hot Cakes!

The books are flying off the shelf, reported Joseph, which makes me very happy indeed!  Keep sending us good vibes fairy believers!  Things are looking good!

If you haven’t purchased your own copy of Time of the Faeries, the Book, then your best bet is to find us at the Faerieworlds Festival or at Comic-con.  We are sold out at the online store until August 7th, when we pick up another batch from Imaginosis Publishing.  In the mean time, you can still place an order through the online store.  You’ll just have to wait a bit to receive your copy.  Please accept our sincere apologies!

The Time of the Faeries Booth at Faerieworlds

Here are some pictures of the Time of the Faeries booth at Faerieworlds Festival.  Look at the transformation!  Not so shabby considering we loaded two boxes onto the plane with Joseph on Thursday and purchased a canopy at Target in Eugene.  It’s called making it work, baby! And that’s what we do.

The tents next to ours belong to good friends and fantasy photographers Tracy Cornett and David Windham.  You’ll hear a lot about these two in the next two weeks because we’re going to follow each other from one convention to the next.

These pictures are taken with a camera phone by Joseph Corsentino.  Then, it’s text to Donny (that’s me, in Los Agneles), then, I upload the photos from my phone to my computer, which is a hassle, and finally posted.  Let’s appreciate technology, folks, and marvel at how very NOT magical it is!  Bring out the frogs and the fairy dust! 

Faerieworlds Festival Begins!

I dropped Joseph off at the airport on Thursday so that he can set up for Faerieworlds Festival.  It begins!  A weekend of magic, fantasy, fun, fairies, and, of course, Brian Froud.  Last year, Joseph met Amy Brown and they hung out for awhile.  I am still jealous to this day.  Joseph got to see fire dancers, listen to amazing artists, and just enjoy the company of like-minded, magical people.  This year is already shaping up to be even more exciting!

Before the Festival even begins at noon, Joseph already sold some of his 13×19 prints.  I’m wondering if we brought enough prints and books?!  Since Joseph took a flight up to Eugene, Oregon, we severely limited the number of items we brought for sale.  I predict that next year, Joseph will drive up so that we can bring everything and anything for Faerieworlds.

FaerieWorlds Festival Preparation

OMG! It’s upon us!! OMG!

That’s just me panicking momentarily. There’s so much to do and not enough time in which to do it!

Joseph is working on creating three huge posters for FaerieWorlds Festival and Comic-con, as display pieces. I just picked up some furniture to display art in. I THINK we got the hotel rooms all sorted out.

I don’t even know what else we need to get done! OMG!

Thank goodness we have help from our buddies fairy photographers Tracy Cornett and David Windham. If you guys get a chance, go check out their art. Amazing stuff! Tracy is working on some really twisted versions of the old familiar fairy tales and David is re-creating Norse mythology.
