Corwyn's Roost

My Nest

Greetings and Salutations to all. This is my new home, I hope everyone that visits it will enjoy what you see of me and my friends. My name is Corwyn. And I am a Gryphon. I was created by Brian Healy, as a birthday present for his wife, Jeanette Healy. He very carefully figured out how to make every detail of me, so that I would turn out the way I did. First he sculpted my head, my claws, and my paws out of plasticine modeling clay, then he casted everything out of resin. Then he built my body and made the mechanisms that move my wings, and my head. Then he recieved feathers and such to cover my body. It is said that in my construction, he bled on me several times.

Okay, so enough about how I was created... Let's get to the good stuff.
After Brian finished with my construction, he boxed me up and gave me to his wife for her birthday. This was done at a science fiction convention called Shore Leave. It is held every July, down in Towson, Maryland. I had a lot of fun there, as I got to meet a whole bunch of nice people, who let me have my picture taken with them, and that included the stars that were there too! As you go thru my site, you will see all the pictures of all the people that I have encountered, since Brian gave me to Jeanette. I hope you will enjoy seeing where I go and who I meet.

One of the best is Shore Leave. It is held every year down in Towson Maryland, and is usually held the second weekend in July. As always, Brian, Jeanette and I, as well as many of our friends will be down there. Jeanette has been going to Shore Leave every year since she was 21. And every year, she says that she has a blast. I am really looking forward to going to Shore Leave as there will be more people for me to see and have their picture taken with me. Yes, I am a vain bird

Besides, the whole fact of Brian giving me as a birthday present to Jeanette, there was all the fun I had meeting and greeting the guests at Shore Leave. I got to meet Tim Russ, Eric Pierpoint, Robin Atkin Downs, James Marsters, as well as AC Crispin, and many others..as you go thru the site, you will see many of the pictures of me with them. Jeanette said, that the best part of Shore Leave 21, besides getting me as her birthday present, was when Eric Pierpoint, you all know him best as George Fransico from Alien Nation,asked if he could sit me on his shoulder for our picture together. Personally, just being there was the best part for me!

Jeanette, Me and Mike Lopez at ICon 19!
Why there is a site to begin with! Jeanette used to work at a video store called Suncoast. She said it was a really fun place to work, but she wanted to move on and do other things. Any way, while at work one day, showing off my photo albums, her coworker and friend of many years, Mike Lopez suggested that she should set up a site for me. At first she wasn't sure if she should do it, as she was concerned with the fact that there might not be enough stuff to fill the site. But as she got more pics and more stories of my wanderings at the Cons and such, she realized that maybe she could pull it off. And that is how I got this wonderful site you are all looking at now. Thank you Mike!
