The Wizard World Convention was expensive to attend, especially for us out of towners, and sadly it wasn’t very lucrative. Booths cost a LOT and it’s almost impossible to financially make back what it costs, although it’s certainly beneficial in terms of promotion. Regardless, it’s a drain on the expenses. Hotels, rental car, meals and all…

I’m bringing this up because Rosaline Terrill went above and beyond to attend the convention and now is looking at selling her horse to pay her bills. I hate to see that happen, so I’d just like to encourage everyone to swing by “Orelinde’s Realm” (always linked as part of the MD family) and purchase a fantasy art print or three. Roz’s prints look beautiful even when blown up to 11×17 and would look even better matted on your wall! So won’t you at least swing by her site and check them out?

If you have any fantasy art lovers who go for Boris Vallejo, one of these would make an impressive and unique Christmas present.

Plus, it’s fantasy art. Hot, naked pixies.

Hey, it’s the weekend. Surely you can spare a few seconds. If you’ll take just a moment to e-mail this post to a friend who might be interested in fantasy art, this could possibly spread around the Internet reach enough people to bring in some extra money for a struggling artist working from home while raising two kids. (Three, if you count her husband. Hi, Will!)

I mean, it seems like all the wrong stuff gets circulated around the Internet. Hoaxes about cookie recipes. Jokes that have the headers of ten previous groups of recipients. David Letterman Top 10 lists that are so indented that each word is on a separate line preceded by >>>>>>>>>>>>>>. Pleas to send a greeting card to a dying child who is now a healthy adult besieged by greeting cards because no one knows how to stop that dang e-mail from floating around the web!

So how about e-mailing your friends and telling them about www.orelinde.com? THAT would be something you wouldn’t mind if your mom forwarded to everyone on her list, right?
