The World Science Fiction Convention is upon us.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll have a display of works hanging in the Art Show, including a print of the new Loteria art for \u2018El Arbol\u2019<\/a>, dedicated to Jay Lake. I\u2019ll also be bringing\u00a0limited supplies of Loteria Grande cards and posters AND 11\u2033 x 14\u2033 George R. R. Martin \/ A Song of Ice and Fire<\/em> prints. However, these will NOT be available in the Art Show, as you can purchase them directly from me, while supplies last, at my\u00a0appearances marked with an (**<\/em>).<\/p>\n

And here\u2019s a special offer just for you, Sasquan<\/em> \u2014 you can reserve and pre-purchase any 17\u2033 x 22\u2033 print from my body of work<\/a> \u2014 including George R. R. Martin \/ A Song of Ice and Fire<\/em> works<\/a> \u2014 for only $75 each!<\/strong> This is marked down from the usual $125 for the GRRM works, and $90 for all others. How do you get yours? Email me at john (at) johnpicacio (dot) com, with the subject heading: \u201cSasquan Special\u201d. Let me know the prints you want and I\u2019ll send you my Paypal details OR we can arrange for you to just pay at the con. Pick up your merchandise from me during my Autographing or during the Saturday Artist Alley hours, and you\u2019ll be set. These prints are archival inks on archival Hahnemuhle paper. You\u2019ll need to bring your own protective tube or carrying method, as these will be unbagged and unboarded. Reservation deadline is Monday, August 17th at 12noon CST, and this offer only applies to prints ordered via this offer, for pickup at Sasquan. Why am I doing this? Because I love you, people, but also because I\u2019m not bringing a giant stack of bagged and boarded archival prints on this trip, as it\u2019s too costly. So this is THE ONLY WAY to get big prints at bargain prices from me if you\u2019re coming to Worldcon. Don\u2019t wait to see what I have once you arrive because there won\u2019t be a stack to flip through this time. Reserve your prints today, everyone.<\/em> \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
