SWinkies
FROM THE ILLUSIVE DESK...
Wow, have we got news for you. I mean, we’ve made announcements before, and we’ve promoted conventions before, but this, this is seriously awesome stuff. If you’re a fan of Oz, and you’re a fan of comics (and if you’re not, why are you even reading this?), prepare to shiver with antici... pation.
And delight. Delight and anticipation.
Are you ready? Are you sitting down? Are you wearing your special shivering pants?
This Saturday, November 10th, in beautiful Dana Point, California, USA, the South Winkie Convention of the International Wizard of Oz Fan Club will host a live, in-person, appearance and presentation from legendary artist WILLIAM STOUT!
Dude! That guy is a legend! Check out his website. He’s brilliant! He worked with the Firesign Theater, he draws dinosaurs like whoa, he does these amazing flying monkeys in that, y’know, sort of Berni Wrightson/ House of Secrets style, plus he did design work on the “Muppets’ Wizard of Oz” thing. Not only that, he was the Production Designer on perhaps the greatest zombie film ever made, “Return of the Living Dead!”
So look, the South Winkie Con is a perfect chance to meet the man. He’s done amazing Oz work, incredible film stuff, and at any other appearance he’d be mobbed by crowds. The advantage of South Winkie is that it’s intimate - everyone will be up close and accessible in that marvelous Oz way.
Oh yeah, Illusive Arts will be there, too. You know our stuff. We’d like to see you if you happen to stop by.
*
The South Winkie Convention will be held from 10 AM to 5 PM at the Dana Point Community House. $15 for adults, $10 for children, includes meals. Reservations are due by November 6.
William Stout also worked on Pan’s Labyrinth. Man.
Illusive Arts Entertainment will be selling Dorothy merch, and hopes to keep the drool off our chin.
Anyone interested in taking one of our Illusive Staff out for lunch, dinner or drinks during the weekend should post here.
