Hey Thanos,

Oh yeah, I feel your pain. I think I'm in the same boat too - lack of replies, slow turnarounds, cards "missing" or no further contact... sigh. The bottom line is that it's beginning to feel more like work than a fun project, and I'm starting to burn out. I figure I should perhaps wrap things up for a while and take a breather.

Of course, I did the same thing a few years back. When I finally got back into the swing of things, I decided to pick up where I left off, which happened to be Glen Angus. It was two weeks after he passed away...

Take it easy,
Jared

Anybody have any info on what artist/s will be attending GP:Malmö? I live about 30 minutes away and there's no info been put up even though there's only a week until it starts.

Also, [rage]why do European GPs only get 1-2 artist at a time while the ones in the States get 3-4?[/rage]

Easy...main market for Magic is the US and most of the artists live there and travelling to Europe is quite a big leap (plus the increased number of events).

But maybe you get Daniel Ljungren

I understand the general feeling...I myself can't find the time to actively send stuff out (few excepts..THANK YOU TIM!)...2 years ago I sent 10 letters out per week...Now, it's not more than 2 per month.

I try to concentrate on the early sets (pre-Masques) and do the newer sets just for fun (and hunt some special cards).

...although I have to say that my success rate has been less than good. I'm always frustrated when I ask permission, the artist grants it, I send, and then nothing. I've got a couple of signed, global projects four years in the doing that I'm trying to finish and every day the cards don't come back is a day without sunshine.

Ah, I can relate... Believe me, I feel your pain

Talked to Chris Rahn this weekend at Spectrum, and he said that he is still signing via mail, but does shut it down from time to time when he is busy.

GenCon update - Dan Scott and Mark Poole said they will attend. Chris Rahn, Franz Vohwinkle, Rob Alexander said they will not be attending. I was also told, by an artist this weekend, that GenCon is out of space for artists. And from the sounds of it artist alley will be smaller this year than it was last year.

Pretty disappointing, considering this is the first GenCon I may be able to attend in the past few years. [/QUOTE]

Aside from Lee and Van Camp, that whole crew and more will be at Illuxcon.

Hello Paul,

Thank you for writing!

I would be happy to sign your cards. Just do me a mighty favor and include some return postage.

And just a heads up, because of my intense and frantic schedule, I may not get these signed and mailed back to you right away.

Thanks again for writing!

All the best,
