2023 Sponsored Artist Selection
|
Dear Friends and Followers:
In the interest of transparency and full disclosure, we wanted to update you on the status of our Sponsored Artist Search for SDCC 2023. Due to some scheduling issues, we're running a little behind. We've selected our finalists for this year, and we are in the process of interviewing them and reviewing their applications (again). Our sincere thanks to *everyone* who applied -- as usual, our selection committee is not having an easy time of selecting a winner! We anticipate being able to announce our selection before the end of March. In the meantime, follow us on Instagram for some awesome cosplay pix from WonderCon this weekend (March 24-26). |

Our Sponsored Artist for Comic Con 2022 is...
It's not deja vu... it's not a glitch in the Matrix!
We originally made this announcement on March 11, 2020 -- about a week before the world went all Stranger Things and turned upside-down.
Here we are nearly 2.5 years later, and we're happy to announce that we'll be back at San Diego Comic Con for 2022, along with our Sponsored Artist originally selected for 2020!
It is with great excitement that we present our Comic Con 2022 Sponsored Artist...
Daniel Ibanez!
From our inception, part of the mission of the Kevin Workman Foundation has been not only to try to cultivate the best and the brightest rising-star visual artists, but also to expose work that is fresh and unusual to a much wider audience.
Daniel is a Fort Collins, Colorado-based husband, father, teacher, and artist who is as talented as he is prolific, and exhibiting at Comic Con will present him with an amazing opportunity to accomplish just that.
Excelling in a number of traditional mediums as well as digital, Daniel effortlessly transitions between myriad styles and subject matter: everything from neo-impressionist landscapes and still-lifes to otherworldly, Frazetta-inspired fantasy scenes.
We encourage you to follow Daniel on Instagram to see his latest updates, as well as visit his website to see more of his incredible art: https://www.instagram.com/mambobon (@mambobon)
