In this episode, our hosts, independent fantasy artists Samuel Flegal and Peter Mohrbacher, are excited to welcome Christopher Burdett back on the show to talk about what he has been up to and how his new Kickstarter The Grand Bazaar of Ethra VanDalia is going.

For Kat's final mentorship episode our hosts are joined by the lovely Djamila Knopf: Djamila is a Leipzig-based independent artist who draws character portraits and tarot cards. She enjoys surreal and dreamlike imagery with a fragile and delicate quality to it. Her primary goal is to evoke a sense of wonder in the viewer and her drawing style is heavily influenced by both nature and Japanese animation. She mainly works digitally, but also has an ongoing series of small traditional drawings. Her work has been published by Dragonsteel Entertainment and in Spectrum: The Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art, among others.

In this episode, our hosts, professional fantasy artists, Sam Flegal and Peter Mohrbacher are joined by the full One Fantastic Week Staff (who are also all professional artists) to wrap up one fantastic year! We hope you will join us!

Annabelle Lewis, who our hosts Sam Flegal and Peter Mohrbacher mentored in the spring, is back on the show to share with us how she has done since then. Annabelle recently raised $77000 on a Kickstarter for her gorgeous Oracle Deck. Annabelle is best known for weaving monochromatic palettes with gold leaf to illustrate a smorgasbord of interests: nature, history, mythology, and the occult. Each piece has a story to tell and is meant to pull the viewer into a mysterious world full of macabre creatures and beautiful - but fearsome - goddesses. She is based in Austin, TX, where you're most likely to find her chasing after snakes and lizards or foraging for interesting bones.
