| "Bakassas The Witch Queen" - 2018 Tom Barczak |
As I attend
ed an annual Surfactant Consortium meeting (IASR) in Norman, OK, I swung by Tom Barczak's art show. His Prophecy of Evarun series is emotive dark fantasy. He's working on the next installment now: "Hands of the Dragon".
He had over a dozen sketches and paintings presented at a boardgame boutique called
Loot and XP, a comfortable establishment with snacks and hugs tables... and tons of games to play. "Loot" is a good theme for the trip, since I returned with a sketch of the above painting and Prophecy of Evarun coffee mug. If you are a Norman local, check that out that place.
What started as a chance meeting has turned into an annual join up (list below). Every time we share our muses on weird art and writing.

| We had to meet at 6:45AM prior my work meeting and school, and Tom had some of his boys with him in tow. Coffee helped wake a few. Was nice meeting them all. |
