Time of the Faeries Blog

Joseph Corsentino is in writing mode!

For the last few days, Joseph has been in uber writing mode, knocking out pages and pages of Time of the Faeries. This is truly exciting! I don’t know how much of it I can sneak away from him to post on here, but I till be trying Give you guys an idea of where we are taking TOTF now.

In the meantime, all photoshop has been put on hold. Luckily, Joseph finished quite alot before his writing bug bit him.

Here’s another one to enjoy! Yes, that’s me as a faerie! Along with Maxwell in the mean streets of Philadelphia, right before Faericon.

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 .

More Urban Fairies!

Ever since Joseph returned from Dragon-con, he’s been on a roll with new images on a daily basis!  Here’s a couple more for your enjoyment!  To see these images in person, come visit us at Faeriecon!  Want free tickets to faeriecon?  Keep an eye on the TOTF blog.

This is one of Joseph’s first hybrid angel/fairy.  See the new wings?  It was amazing watching Joseph create those wings.  All the elements are photographic and carefully manipulated.  And not to give away Joseph Corsentino’s magick tricks, but the textures and patterns on the shirt and pants are all created.  The model is Elizabeth, a talented model and friend whom we have worked with for years now.

I love this photoshoot.  The model is my friend, Etana, and this was her first photoshoot EVER.  She did a great job and looked fantastic.  Here, you can see our fairies casting spells, one of the first time we see this visually.

Fantasy Artist Deanna and Joseph at Faeriecon

The best thing about conventions like Faeriecon is that we get to meet amazing people!  Joseph met fantasy artist Deanna Davoli and just connected!  Check out Deanna’s ethereal work at ambient-arts.com.

Here’s a letter we received from Deanna:

Hello J.

It was such an honor to meet you Faerie con! I am still kicking myself for not bringing my book from home to have you sign it…I guess it will have to wait for another time and place.

Anyway, I just wanted to send you the photo that was taken of us there. enjoy!
