Iron Artist History

[Jan. 5th, 2007|09:40 am]

Nicodemus

It is almost time for the annual event where, summoned by Chairman Seurat, the great artists of furry fandom gather together in a competition that will decide who gets the title of
"Iron Artist"

This year marks our seventh event at Further Confusion. I, commentator and secretary to the Chairman, have been busy with preparations. But it's always good to pause at this time and look back...

Reminder:
Rules and signup forms will be at the Info Desk, near the registration area. Any and all FC attendees are welcome to sign up as Iron Artist Challengers! Previous participation in the event does not bar you from signing up again. One of the highlights of the event is the drawing of random competitors to have an artistic showdown onstage. We will also be drawing someone to be one of the judges for the event.

Oh dear, I don't even think I know how to operate a leaf blower ^^;

Hmm, if it's not too much trouble could I have my Iron Title changed to Toony instead of Foxy? :)

I had a lot of fun doing this last year, I'm looking forward to doing it again!

Absolutely. I didn't ask you what you wanted your title to be, so I put that in as a guess. :)

(I can also list you by real name, if you prefer.)

We'll be delighted to have you back at this year's event. :)

I'm sorry, Shinichiro Siegfried! It was just so much easier to rent the leafblowers.

Need any help with this or Improv? :)

I think we've got enough people for Iron Artist (I'll double check), but we could always use an experienced hand over at the improv workshop. That'd be great.

Gasp! What have I done? Did I accidentally break a seven-year tradition of keeping the media secret until it's revealed during the show?

Yay! I think that'd be cool. Given how many entrants we had last year, the odds on the draw aren't too bad, either.

(Whoops... I suppose I should update your name in the history list. My bad.)

Is that Amara, a.k.a. Amy, who's won five years in a row? Small world. Ten years ago we played host to her for a week or two in Quarantine when she was visiting Australia. I remember her hiding behind a corner and scaring me, much to the amusement of the other tenants. (I guess you had to be there.) I still have some commissions she drew for me.

It's Amara Telgemeier, aka oCeLoT aka Electric Gecko. I've not heard her go by Amy, so I don't know if it's the same person.
