That's right kids! The one and only Larry Elmore will the Guest of Honor at Troll Con VIII. Larry will be joining us this July at the Crowne Plaza in Little Rock for 3 days of gaming goodness.

A bio of Larry from his website, www.larryelmore.com:
I have been creating fantasy and science fiction art for over 20 years. I worked as a staff artist for TSR, Inc. from 1981 to 1987. While at TSR, I helped set the standards of gaming art in the role-playing genre. Besides creating covers for Dungeons & Dragons, AD&D and other gaming books, I may be best known for my work with the world of Dragonlance. Since 1987, Ive been working as a freelance illustrator, doing covers for comics, computer games, magazines, fantasy and science fiction books and many more projects too numerous to list here.

My time at TSR, Inc. is best exemplified on the covers of the DRAGONLANCE book series. Since then, I have worked for other publishers such as BAEN books, Bantam, Warner Books, ACE/Berkley, Doubleday, and Del Rey. I am also the co-author of "Runes of Autumn" and creator of the "Sovereign Stone" series. In the gaming and comic industries, I have freelanced for TSR, Inc, FASA, Mayfair Games, Game Designers Workshop, White Wolf, Iron Crown Enterprises, Dragon Magazine, Amazing Magazine, Wizard Press, D. C. Comics, First Comics, Eclipse Comics and Frank Frazettas Fantasy Illustrated. Miscellaneous credits include: LJN Toys, Mattel, Lucas Films, Tonka, Monogram Models, Western Publishing, Sony Entertainments Ever Quest, and various computer game covers.

So make plans to join us this July. Larry will be on hand with a full setup of his art for sale. He's a legend in the gaming industry as his art is some of the most recognizable to gamers and enthusiast alike.

This is excellent news. I met Larry at GenCon and he is a genuinely nice fellow. I hear he likes to draw as well.

I hope he brings his entourage...
