Maurine Starkey
I'm an artist who started out studying Art History and Studio Arts. I then worked as a production artist (to pay the bills. It's still art, right?). Taught college credited courses in composition, design, drawing, painting and color theory. Work all those odd jobs anyone has to do when they've chosen a creative career.
Then I fell into computer game art and design and a 25+ year career was born. I've held every position from Production Staff, Creative Director, Designer to Project Manager and Producer.
The last five years has had me focused on casual games and I've been sliding over to social games as opportunities allow. But I've also been having a good time illustrating and writing for pen and paper games.
2011, I've been nominated for a Hugo award for Best Fan Artist. Who knows what the future has in store. I love doing this stuff...

Pictures or It Didn't Happen: Photography and Other Fan Art as Arbiters of Shared Experience
If a man tapes bacon to his cat and no one can see it, does anyone care? If a fan is drawn in a bikini and the picture is printed, is the speculative experience more real? How photos and illos affect how we share and form our concept of the fannish community, and how that is changing in the digital era. |

Introduction to Steampunk: What Is Steampunk and Why Is it so Popular?
Steampunk has been referred to as "the Future Trend of Science Fiction" but is the subgenre started by Jeter and Powers (and Gibson and Sterling) merely a return to the classics as spun by Verne and Wells? Join our panelists as they look at recent works of Steampunk, share their opinions of what makes Steampunk different from the work of the founding fathers of Science Fiction, and why the genre is so appealing. |
