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!

Meet the Intern

Hey everyone! I’m Kendra Matott. I’m working with Donny and Joseph this summer as their intern. I am a photographer currently studying art and history at the State University of New York at Potsdam. I’ve always been interested in fantasy and I try to incorporate it into my photography. I’m excited to be in Los Angeles for the first time, and even more excited to get to help out with the Time of the Faeries this summer. I’ll be working with TOTF until FaerieWorlds, so maybe I’ll see you there!

My internship began last week at the Modelfest 2009 event in Cloudcroft, New Mexico. It was a great week of never-ending shooting-madness. Joseph and the other photographers who attended got to shoot at some beautiful locations, including White Sands and a waterfall that was quite a hike to get to. The rest of the week was spent doing even more photo shoots, including the Seven Deadly Sins which were a lot of fun. At the end of the week, Joseph went away with 15.5 gigs of photos to sort through. We had a wonderful time and ended up with some great shots. Look for an article about it in Fae Magazine and check out the Modelfest Myspace page at Myspace.com/modelfest_nm.

New York Comic Con – February 6-8, 2009

New York Comic Con – February 6-8, 2009.

New York Comic Con should be really fun! We will be sharing a booth with amazing fantasy artist Scott Grimando and fantasy photographer David Windham. It’s boys’ night out! Come geek out with our boys

Faeriecon 2008 – The Debrief

It is now two weeks after Faeriecon 2008. Whew! It took us two weeks to rest up from the wonderful madness that is Faeriecon!

This year, Time of the Faeries brought our favorite and much loved model Elizabeth Maxwell with us to Philadelphia. Along the way, we picked up David Windham of the Valkyrie Wars, Scott Grimando of Grim Studios, and Tracy Cornett of Grimm Visions.

We met amazing fairy fans and artists from all over the world! Though we were extremely busy running the booth, we all had time to sit down and chat with Toby Froud, Jessica Galbreth, Jasmine Beckett-Smith, Faerie Magazine, Renae Taylor, and a whole lot more! Steven of VirtualCards flew in from Scotland and dropped by to say hello! And how can I forget the awesome Robert of enchantedfolk.com? I met half a dozen people from all over the world that I met online and it was just incredible that I’ve known these people for years and now get to meet them in real life!

Joseph did a panel with Jessica and Jasmine, the three JJJs of the fairy world! LOL It was hysterical because all three are shy artists pushed into the limelight!

Want to see pictures? Here are some from my myspace page. You can see more if you befriend Joseph Corsentino himself at myspace.com/jcorso .

Are you coming to Faeriecon?

Meet us at Faeriecon!  Joseph Corsentino, model Elizabeth, and I will be heading off to Faeriecon in Philadelphia, October 10-12.  We’ll be rocking the booth and bringing a whole lot of new and amazing prints.  It is going to be fun!  Want a free ticket for a day pass?

Return from Dragon-con

Joseph Corsentino is back from Dragon-con and got a bit of rest! He had a fantastic time and I hope to post more pictures as soon as I can grab them off his cameras. The huge prints that we put into the art show completely sold out, which was very exciting to see! Joseph was busy every day at the bazaar table meeting old fans and greeting new ones. We will definitely be back at Dragon-con next year, with more new prints!

See you there!Technorati Tags: J. Corsentino, fairies, fairy, dragoncon, dragon-con

Cloudcroft Photoshoots – Behind the Scenes

I can’t even remember how many photoshoots we did in Cloudcroft, NM! These are just some of the behind the scene photos, a quick glimpse into the hard work and side-splittin’ fun that goes into producing a TOTF photo.

Now, if I haven’t mentioned her before, I want to thank you her now: Rhonda Napoleon is a goddess! She not only produced the photoshoots by organizing the models, transportation, housing, food, location, and all the little details, she also helped me style the costumes, did all the make-up, and the hair, all while getting no sleep and working on three other photoshoots as well, with Tracy Cornett and Vicky Visconti and Francine Dufour! Without Rhonda, none of this would be possible. Thank you Rhonda! You are a truly talented and amazing person!

Meet us at Cloudcroft!

This year’s Cloudcroft will ROCK! Joseph Corsentino will be the guest artist, running around having fun.

Thanks to Vtoria on myspace for the video!
