Dan will be appearing all weekend meeting with attendees.

Is that poster from Dreamwave? It seems a little unfair to post that as an example of his art, since Pat Lee kinda had everyone who worked on Dreamwave's art follow his style.

It was the official art posted by TFcon, which is what we've been doing for the press releases.
