I happen to know that Derek is a nice guy and if you catch him at the con when he isn't doing something else he might be willing to chat with you a bit and give you some pointers outside of a class.

Also, in the past they have had a special table set up and a schedule of artists who are available for folks to just walk up and talk to... in addition to the artist's room where they will all be hanging out for you to go watch or talk to all weekend long.

So don't feel that just because you did not get the 1 on 1 class that your favorite artist is not accessible or not willing to talk to you.

Bumble_B I think someone grabbed that one right as I was trying to, since I just missed out on it :). I feel your pain.

Ya i was spamming that thing like "Why isnt it in my cart yet!?! Nooooooooooooo!!"

It's ok. I took a class with Derek last year and ya he a stellar dude. I learned a ton in that class and really appreciate his work and style he brings to the hobby. I honestly don't know what I would have done for an hour anywho. I would have said .. "can you just blend colors and I'll watch for the next hour .. thanks ".. lol

It's all in good fun :)

I happen to know that Derek is a talented guy, and if you catch him at the con, he can probably chat with you and give you pointers while he's in the process of painting with his left hand and sculpting with his right hand while mentally designing the next generation of space shuttles which he will pilot (while painting and sculpting). Oh, and maybe he'll do his Rerun dance, too. And don't forget to ask about his career as a child model.

And don't forget to ask him to recite the entire script from any episodes of The Simpsons.

Don't be jealous Phil. I still think your brush can cure cancer

Hey, maybe Ron can respond to my e-mail. Or should I have Derek impersonate Ron and do that? :-p

[Reaper Ron]

Doh! Public humiliation wins again!

[Wren]

If Derek could make Ron answer email, that would be his most impressive skill ever. And we're talking about a man with a pretty impressive skill set! ;->

[Reaper Ron]

Attacked on all sides! Help!

[Pole]

You're being "Ron" down at every turn!


.... sorry I couldn't resist!

[Wren]

I should be honest and admit I'm no better about email than Ron. So if Derek could inspire me to greater email promptness, that would be just as miraculous. :->

Ron actually replied to my email last night!
