Decidua (2015)
A last-minute decision
In fall of 2015, I attended IlluXCon, and immediately after went out to the painting retreat I had gone to for a number of years prior. By this time, however, I was now back in California after 7 years in NYC, so making one trip for both of these, located in PA, helped make it feasible.
As I’ve said before, my goal with those painting retreats has been to work on non-commissioned works there, and this year was no different. I was once again behind the ball heading in. The year before, I barely managed to get it together to begin working on “Glossai Pyros.” 2015 was no different as the retreat began the very day following IlluXCon, which itself had begun just a few days after showing at the Portland Retro Gaming Expo, where I had my Hearts for Hardware work on the road. Whew!
