The Origins Whisper Story!
Nine very different game and fanasty artists were all given the same assignment. How will their artwork differ? The Origins Whisper Story works thus: An art director verbally gives the first artist the directions. That artist verbally gives the second artist the directions, and so on. Then the artist create without talking to one another. The resulting pieces are displyed in order!
Art Exhibition
Once again we will feature the Art Exhibition, where
professionals and amateurs may compete and be judged in the following categories: Best Historical, Best Fantasy, Best Science Fiction, Best Game-Related, Best Color, Best Three-Dimensional/Mixed Media, Best Monochromatic, and of course, Best of Show. Amateurs and professionals will be awarded separate First, Second, Third awards as well as Fan Favorite in these categories and Fan Favorite Best of Show. Ballots will be available onsite and the
panel of expert judges will be comprised of guest artists and industry experts.
Artists on Parade
Many featured artists will be present to talk over their pieces with you, sell you some of their work, or put together a composition on the spot of your favorite character, super-hero, or villain to take home. A themed art competition will put the attending artists to the test, judging their skills and showcase their works on the spot. Attending artists will also be available to sign your purchases. The artist schedule will be posted at the entrance
to the Art Show.
Silent Auction & Print Shop
Some of the Original and Limited Edition pieces will be sold along with other items in the silent auction that runs the length of the show. As well, some prints and multiple run items from attending and remote artists will be available in the Print Shop and priced reasonably for purchase. Guests can use their Origins Badge to bid on items in the auction and credit card service will be available for your convenience when purchasing.
