Peter Mayhew with his purchase of my “Hairy Trinity” print.
Another day of great sales with the added bonus of two great events. The first was the purchase of my signed print titled “The Hairy Trinity” by the wife of Mr. Peter Mayhew, a.k.a. Chewbacca. (Peter has recently undergone surgery and wasn’t able to walk the convention floor.) Shortly after the purchase I visited Peter’s signing booth to thank them both for the purchase and was invited to take a picture of Peter holding his print.
The second event was the purchase of one of my new Superlative/Nefarious books by a gentleman that showed an intense interest and asked several questions about the project. As we wrapped up the sale he presented his business card and identified himself as a project executive with Imagine Entertainment, the company founded by Ron Howard and Brian Grazer. So perhaps my book will eventually work its way through the studio’s intricate project review maze.
More photos from the day:
After successfully escaping the furnace hell of 100 degree heat in Dallas, we arrived in beautiful San Diego with temperatures in the 60s and 70s. We arrived at the convention center early this morning to set up the booth in preparation for the preview night this evening. The hall was still in major chaos with lots of exhibitors working out the details of their display booths among the constant din of forklifts, transport vehicle honking and crane activity. It’ll all come together at the last minute in the next few hours. What follows are a few shots of the hall during this preparation. Click on photos for a larger view.

My good friend Chuck Chiles has been hard at work on a sculpture commission titled “Slice of Pie.” Created using highly polished stainless steel and walnut, it stands approx. 5 feet tall. The precise geometry and kinetic design makes for a fascinating visual treat. These photos were taken with it nearing completion. By this writing, it will have been crated and well on its way to a place of honor in the patron’s home at Lake Tahoe.

Update! Chuck has had his marvelous creation installed in the patron’s house in a place of honor. Here’s a studio shot of the finished piece and a shot of the finished piece in it’s final place of honor. The repetitive design in his sculpture works perfectly alongside the rich pattern of the staircase.
