Kathryn Neel gave a presentation on biohacking at Bar Camp DeLand last weekend. The wearable biohacks especially interested me. On the other hand the implanted biohacks were quite scary.

Randy Hoyt gave a presentation on his kickstarter campaign for his board game Relic Expedition. His board game is kind of like Settlers of Catan, but with a Indiana Jones feel. Go preorder it at foxtrot games.barCampLisaTennantSelfPublishing_001

One of the bars that hosted Bar Camp DeLand. I was drinking a Monty Python and the Holy Grail Ale between presentations.

Anime Night

A sketch from Friday’s Propeller Anime night at A Comic Shop. They showed Samurai X and Ninja Scroll, two things I remember being much better. Although it has been over 10 years since I first saw them, and memories tend to warp things over time.animeNightAComicShop001

Sketches from the Weekend

This past Sunday was a good day of sketching for me. First I went to Orlando Grace Church to sketch the people there. Their pastor gets into some interesting and energetic poses while he speaks. It was also a good chance to work on sketching interiors, an area I need more practice in. Next I went to Lake Lily to do some sketches, but stumbled upon a coin show at the Maitland Civic Center. I checked out some coins and global currency, and then proceeded to do sketch some of the people there. Finally I walked to the edge of Lake Lily, and painted a quick sketch of Rangetsu, a sushi lounge that can be seen from the edge of the park.

Mall

I sketched this on the second floor of the Altamonte Mall. It’s interesting to see how all the shops have very warm lights in them compared to the cooler feel of the rest of the mall’s interior.

Sanlando Park

Sanlando Park will always hold a special place in my heart. I fought with Youkai Kobukai, a foam sword fighting group, for a little over two years at that park.sanlandoPark12-31-12
