The <i>Deviations</i> Journey: Deep Carnivale 2010

Entrance to Deep Carnivale, which took place in the Performing Arts Building at Hillsborough Community College in Ybor City (Tampa, FL).

I attended Deep Carnivale on September 11, 2010. Thanks to David Audet and all the volunteers for putting on a great event!

More artwork, plus costumes.

The Performing Arts Building's A/C was in top form -- so much so that I ran out to my car for a change of clothing. I ditched my shorts for long pants and threw the denim shirt you see here over my shortsleeved print shirt.

1. Deviations: Covenant (paperback, Aisling Press).
