One of the local cons here in Phoenix is more of an art con then normal so I
will be talking to the artists that show up and also looking in the Art show
for talented artists that haven't yet made their name. If I was anywhere
else I would still check in the art show rather than the dealers room. If
you can't attend the con then email the art show director asking for
information. Many artists leave business cards or flyers.

I just noticed that Larry Elmore (www.larryelmore.com) is going to be one of
the guests at the local Con in Denver this week. If the name doesn't right
a bell, he is one of the premier fantasy artists, having done work for TSR
on the Forgotten Realms and Dragonlance, and many others. His work is
definitely top-tier stuff, and just about any commercial publisher would be
lucky to get him to do cover art for their work. Has anybody asked him
about prices or if he is still even accepting commissions? I hate to ask if
I'm not even in the ballpark...
Also, I'm curious how others have gone about finding this kind of talent.
Is prospecting in a dealer room for amateur painters worth the time, or is
it better to stick with better-known artists, in spite of the price?
