Countdown to Clockwork Alchemy

The Clockwork Alchemy convention is just two days away, in San Jose, CA.  I won’t be making any more art until I am at the event, most of my stuff is packed, and I’ll be down there tomorrow evening.  I am taking some of my art supplies with me so I can do commissions on-site, and I’ll also take orders for commissions to be completed at a later date.  There have been a few SNAFUs, but nothing insurmountable.

I will have with me a number of original ink paintings, plus limited edition prints of those paintings.  Some of them will be available at special prices at the convention.  Look Out, the triptych painting in the Artist Gallery, will also be available for sale, along with my silver steampunk kimono I work at Nova Albion last year.

Title: Octopus Miniature Minimalist Painting 1, Artist: Sidney Eileen

3″x5″ Impasto acrylic on canvas board

Other artwork include several large impasto acrylic minimalist paintings on wrapped canvas, and several miniature impasto paintings on canvas board.  For something which may be worn, I am bringing a number of pendants, lockets, and pins with miniature ink paintings.

I will have two corsets with me for sale, but no other clothing items.  Despite best of intentions to have spats and bustle skirts available, physical limitations prevented me from making them.

If you are coming, don’t forget that I will be giving an all-day corset making discussion on Sunday.  Drop by for part, or stay for the whole day.  It will run from 10am to 6pm.  You do need a convention pass to attend.  If you stop by my table that day, you’ll get to meet my closest friend, Britva, who will be minding my wares while I am occupied elsewhere.

The entire convention is packed with wonderful workshops, panels, and events.  It truly is worth coming for.
