New Merch, Old Art

Doug Cowell — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 17:11:08 +0000

A 10-year-old Doug once sat at a kitchen table with a lump of clay and
some makeshift tools set out before me. I worked on this clay for an hour,
and when I was done I had a sphinx head that was to be added to the body
my project partner was making. I have to say, I was pretty proud of
myself then. I feel the same way looking over the small clay pieces I have
been working on for our next convention. TempleCon is under a week away
and the Dogtoon office has been buzzing like a bee hive getting ready! New
characters, costume changes, schedules, panels, games it’s all in the
works here and on top of that, prepping our merchandise.

For this year’s TempleCon, I wanted to do something special and something
that I think the crowd would really dig. I thought about some of the
games, stories, and LARPs I have seen and enjoyed and I came to one
unique passion I share with many of the patrons of this particular event:
LOVECRAFT! I have been reading through my anthology of Lovecraft and while
I can strangely say it affected my dreams, those dreams may have affected
my art! (Not a bad affect in my opinion.) So what does all this have to
do with 10-year-old me molding clay? Artistic development. My father still
has the first clay statue I made of “Doug the Dog” in 9th grade. I really
enjoy it and I think it’s time to re-visit that art form again. Starting
small with simple knick-knack items, I am really happy to be pouring over
a table with clay molding tools that were tragically underutilized ’til
now! And not only that, but I’m inspired by Lovecraft and the things I
create reflect that. I’m really pleased with the way things are looking so
far. For me, It’s a great coming home feeling to be sculpting again, and
I can’t wait to see what people think of them!

See you at TempleCon!

Dogtoon Media will be running around TempleCon

in Warwick Rhode Island!

This will be the first year of Dogtoon Media at TempleCon Warwick’s premier gaming convention. I will be going along with the Penny Dredfuls of S.S Icarus and I have to say I am really stoked for this shindig! So since the Dreadfuls have a very large presence there I was really surprised when they advised me not to get a table! so say the steam punk bandits, “Its not a convention you want to be tied down at!” and that really peaks my interest.. so of course like any sound research…I started with THE INTERNET! and found so much info on it, and lots of pictures and many of them with the Dreadfuls.

After all this, I find myself a little unsure as to what will be happening at TempleCon for Dogtoon Media, one thing I am pretty sure about though is that I will be having a blast, (and really isn’t that the best thing?) But my thought is to run around and take LOTS of pictures! our last Big convention I was able to make one Video update, Ill see if maybe I can make a few at this one! I am really stoked to see what this convention has to offer! if you’re interested, check the link!
