• MY REPORT ON VEGAS EXPO

  2008 Mar 08

  I’ve just gotten back from the show in Las Vegas and wanted to let fans of the Gargirls know how it went. The ASD/AMD Trade show in Vegas was quite an eye- opening experience for a "Newbie" like me. Basically, if you’ve never experienced this type of event it can be described this way: whatever your empty shop or gift store needs, you’ll find it there!
  
  Since I am a new faerie type artist, my reason for being at the convention
  was to help “Land of Myth and Not” (LOMN), my wholesale publisher,
  promote themselves and my “faerie” art. I generally refer to most of my faeries as “The Gargirls”. My time at the convention was mainly spent signing
  a pre-designated print of mine entitled “Pouter” for LOMN clients.
  
  Most of the people who received the prints were retail customers of
  LOMN and spoke favorably of ‘my girls’, as I call them. I would
  jokingly say, “I’m the edgy artist of the group, mine have
  tails” , which drew chuckles. LOMN publishes some of the
  most well known faerie artists in the world; Amy Brown, the most
  famous. Usually, the customers had a positive response about the tails. I was delighted when one client remarked that the very reason she bought my art was BECAUSE of the tails, which she said made my work different from all the rest. That one comment alone made my time in Vegas worth it, because my goal has always been to produce artwork in the fantasy/faerie category that stands out.
  
  When I was finished doing the signings, I walked around the
  Sands Convention Center, a huge two- story complex, and networked among the other vendors. In the end, I truly came away from the experience having made many new friends that I feel will help promote the Gargirls in the future. Friends who finally meant business in a serious way. The Internet is a fantastic networking tool, but signing prints in person is a lot of fun and I look forward to being involved in more expos and shows as my schedule allows. Thanks again to LOMN and everyone who loves “my girls”. You’ll be seeing a lot more of us!
  
  
  

• Vegas Art Expo - March 2-3

  2008 Feb 25

  MARCH 2-3, LAS VEGAS ART EXPO
  
  
  This has already been an exciting and productive year for me and the Gargirls.
  I will be selling and signing prints of the Gargirls at an art expo in Las Vegas, March 2-3. So, if you're in the area, drop by and say "hi" and take a look at all my unique creations. I'll also be selling a selection of more mainstream fantasy/fairy art that appeals to a wide range of tastes. I'm very happy about participating, and look forward to meeting and greeting all those in attendance.
  It's always wonderful to personally meet with fans and other artists. The Internet is great, but it's impersonal. Shows like this are fantastic opportunities to really bond with an audience and find out more about current trends. If you'd like more information, feel free to drop me a line at gargirls002@yahoo.com.

• Freelance Cover Art

  2007 Apr 26

  Several people have told me that they think my type of fantasy/sci-fi 3D art would look great on a book cover. As you can see from the many images included here at my Storefront, I specialize in a dark, erotic look and theme with my Gargirls of Samral. Some of my work also has a "playful" edge to it as well.
  
  If you're a writer looking for someone to do that type of cover art, don't hesitate to drop me a line at my email of gargirls001@yahoo.com
  My rates are very reasonable and I'm quite good at listening carefully to what a client wants for their creative project. If you think my work would be a good match for your needs, let me know. I have a sample of a magazine cover featuring my Gargirls that I'd be happy to send you upon request.
  
  I look forward to hearing from you!

  Hello everyone!
  
  My name is Scott Koznar, aka "Weenie", and I'm a 3D artist, specializing in erotic computer generated art. My works appear on a number of other websites, including Renderotica, Raunchyminds, Seventhcomplex and a few others.
  
  I've been doing art since age six, but discovered computer art in the last few years, and found that it was a great medium for me to express my artistic vision.
  
  My current project is a unique calendar showcasing my Gargirls - The Gargirls of Samral Calendar - 2008. It's just a small sample of what I've created over the years with the Gargirl theme. I have always been an admirer of the "pin up" type look (think Playboy!). But I wanted to be unique so I began to explore the "dark" side of the pinup style, and thus the title of my calendar.
  
  I'm also in the process of possibly designing a line of Gargirl lingerie in the future. This blog will keep you updated on the progress of my various projects related to my artwork and I look forward to hearing your feedback.
