TODAY'S FEATURE: I've just become Facebook Friends with William Brent, who invited me to stop by his table at the upcoming 2010 Wonder Con in San Francisco... He told me the following: "I will be at Wonder Con next weekend at artists alley table AA57, displaying some of my newest art & selling prints of old & new illustrations." I asked him what publications he would have at his table, as I saw a little of what he had in the above two published photos from the 2009 Wonder Con. He said: "No publications, but do still sell some of my Rock posters. I have a Max Rebo Band poster I did for Lucas that I always bring to the comic shows. I think that's behind me in my photos." So I asked him a little about his background and what he was was doing now. His reply: "In the late 80's till around 2001, I worked for Bill Graham's Winterland Productions, designing posters, shirts, all manner of rock & roll & movie merchandising. I've done concept art & storyboarding for CGI animation projects, as well as texture mapping. A lot of different things. Right now I'm designing pin-up girls for Las Vegas Hotels & Casinos." I then saw this brief bio on his Facebook Wall also: "I grew up in Los Angeles & started drawaing & painting at about 11 years old. Spent my early school days being a jock. Then came Rock & Roll High school." "I've been doing R&R Posters,T-shirts, album covers, & CGI animation work for about 25 years now."
