By: Imagicopter Origins Game Fair is a prominent annual gaming convention run by the Game Manufacturers Association (GAMA). It is hosted at the Greater Columbus Convention Center in Columbus, Ohio and is chartered to serve gaming in general, including wargames and miniatures gaming, as well as the site of the annual Origins Award. (wikipedia) Their theme this year is Superheroes! http://www.originsgamefair.com/ In addition to great games and wonderful guests, there will also be featured artists - Nigel Sade among them! Perhaps you have seen him at other conventions, his signature look is pirate bandanas and his artwork often has a piracy theme to them. "Nigel Sade was born on a bright and sunny day nearly to some, and exactly to others, 40 years after D-day. Some consider this meaninful whilst the rest laugh at those people, but I digress. He dreamt of being an artist but that was not a real job... how could you feed a family with that pipe dream? He learned and waited and he set out on the high seas of art! His art is in form of Symbolism (like Surrealism) and in function it questions basic ideas we hold dear as a people. It is mostly driven by philosophical motifs and just plain old strangeness. Nigel's belief is that art should spur conversation, not just match ones curtains. Now you may ask, 'What does all this have to do with piracy?' Well, he was always a grungy, bandana wearin freak. His family was and is highly Piratical What with their last name Rogers all the family businesses are Jolly Roger this and Jolly Roger that ... Not to mention their propensity for rum. So with the families' nautical background and the new pirate craze, the public proclaimed him a pirate, and a pirate he was. Yet, having always loved pirates, one can say Nigel got peanut butter in his chocolate!" Want to know more about Nigel Sade? Visit his site at: www.nigelsade.com. End
