I was invited to join the Diverge Workshop (http://www.divergeworkshop.com/) a few weeks ago to do a live demo! It was a concept artist/illustrators extravaganza.  There were a ton of fantastic artists there doing live demos.  You can see the line up of teachers at the diverge website:

I was invited at the last minute to provide some traditional flavor to the mix.  I set up in the theater room right next door to the main event and had a small but dedicated crowd of artists hanging out in my room.  There were a lot of great questions  I did a portrait of my wife (She is my most trusted and reliable model) over a two day period, 2-3 hours each day. It is always awesome getting together with like minds. Sometimes working by yourself out of your home can make you a hermit of sorts so getting out on these excursions is welcomed and appreciated!

I was also able to meet a fantastic artist named Michael Mentler.  I have seen his work for some time and we have conversed online and via email...so it was great to meet in person.  You can check out his work at:

Great Job Tony! You worked hard on the workshop man and it showed. We took a couple of pics, including one special guest from Gotham City!!!
