SDCC Wrap Up- and One Day Special Sale!

by ncwinters on July 29, 2014

I’m still recovering.

San Diego Comic Con (SDCC) 2014 was in one word: amazing. It was my first official SDCC in which I was in a booth, the whole day, every day. I’ve signed before and attended, but this was my first time as an exhibitor, officially a part of the convention. It was a blast. I met so many wonderful amazing people, I participated in an amazing live art battle (and won!), and got the chance to draw for and meet many fans as well as artists that I love. New levels of exhaustion were unlocked, as I don’t think I’ve ever been so tired in my life. Just as it was time to hit the pillow each day, it seemed like it was time to wake up and do it all over again. It was a truly wonderful experience, and I think I’m now officially hooked on the convention circuit and will be planning bookings for future conventions for sure.

I had a couple SDCC exclusives, and some special SDCC pricing for existing items. Many items sold out, including all the mini resined prints and most small originals. What is left is in pretty limited quantity. I have decided to offer a special one-day only special online sale for the remaining items at the SDCC reduced prices! After that day, any remaining art will still be available, but at the regular price. The special one-day-only sale will be tomorrow, Wednesday July 30, 2014. Here’s a breakdown of some of the discounted items that will be available in the webstore:

by ncwinters on July 21, 2014

It’s almost here!

SDCC_CIBXNCW_SQUARE_600px

I am happy to announce that I will be at San Diego Comic Con (SDCC) this year, in booth #4531 with the Brothers Washburn of Color Ink Book. The convention runs from July 24-July 27, 2014 with a special limited preview night July 23, from 6-9PM for preview night badge holders only.

I will have several items available for purchase, most of which will be available EXCLUSIVELY at the convention, and not available for pre-order or purchase online. Any remaining unsold will be available after the show. I will also be constantly drawing, with small originals and sketchcards available for purchase.

In addition to the daily sessions in the booth, I will be participating in VERSUS II, the second annual live art battle (and seventh annual SDCC party) at Bar Basic in downtown San Diego. Hosted by Munkyking, the event pits two sets of three pairs of artists in a head to head to head art battle in front of a live crowd, fueled only by pizza, booze and a quest for glory. The winners of each set then face off for the crown, or in this case, belt. I’m honored to be paired with the legendary Johnny “KMNDZ” Rodriguez and be pitted against some amazing artists who happen to also be good friends. The night should be an unforgettable experience, if it’s anything like last year’s debut event.

“Last Breath of Summer,” New Show at Subtext Gallery.

by ncwinters on July 14, 2014

A new show, featuring my fellow artists of the PRISMA Collective! I’m happy to once again show at one of my favorite galleries with my fellow artists of the PRISMA Collective for an upcoming show entitled “Last Breath of Summer.” The show is at Subtext Gallery in downtown San Diego, and opens Saturday, July 19th at 6PM. I made another custom hand-sculpted frame as I just can’t seem to stop myself. There’s something very satisfying working up a found frame to get it exactly how I want it. It’s an enjoyable way to combine working with sculpture with painting, and each piece ends up extremely rewarding. More about the show:

**** PRISMA is an international artist collective of thirty creatives, founded by Kaspian Shore in November 2011. In their second group show at Subtext, a selection of artists from the PRISMA Collective have come together to bring a touch of sentimentality to their latest exhibition, Last Breath of Summer. Think of the last few rays of sunshine before the arrival of autumn, a touch of gold and fading warmth, a memory of long nights by the sea, of playing hide and seek in yellow wheat fields. Last Breath of Summer is a melancholy goodbye to the high of the year, celebrated by artists Tom Bagshaw, J.A.W. Cooper, Nicole Gustafsson, Martine Johanna, Edith Lebeau, Kelly McKernan, Lilly Piri, Audrey Pongracz, Kaspian Shore, Kelly Vivanco, Casey Weldon, and N.C. Winters. ****

The full online preview is currently up at Subtext’s website. Enjoy “In Like a Lamb.”  See you at the show!
