AM STILL ALIVE!!...and on vaca!

Wed Jul 8, 2009, 1:16 PM


Hey all!!!

Been back from Portcon since...well...June 21st...had a FANTASTIC time!! thanks to all who stopped by my AA table, said HELLO! and/or purchased stuffs, everso grateful for your support! ^_^<3

Am also VERY done with book work!!^,^V Got done with Seekers manga vol.1 on June 22nd...and OH GODS AM I HAPPY TO BE DONE WITH IT!!!!! XD have been on a MUCHLY deserved and NEEDED vaca since...playing Wii...sleeping in...watching movies...working on prints art and whatnot...and also FINALLY catching up on commissions!!!O__________O;;; So those who have commisshed me since back in Sept 2008, expect an email message before the end of July! XD will FINALLY get my list of commishs DONE and CLEARED so I can hopefully open commishs up again and set up my online store to start selling prints and whatnot online since I'm cutting down on which cons I'll be going to from now on...Anime Boston will ALWAYS be on my list of cons since it's my 'home state' con and only an hour away...so yea, will always be in AA there selling stuffs...but others are very much up in the air...


Anyways...I've also been invited to be the Headliner Artist for the New England Fan Experience con in November!^,^V I'll be right up there with THE Leonard Nimoy!!!! XD Yesyes, the ONE and ONLY SPOCK! XD and a fellow Massachusetts native at that! ^_^V I'll have more on NEFE as I receive more info and whatnot...but I WILL be there all weekend with a table in AA selling both my regular stuffs, MCL stuffs AND NEW STAR TREK related stuffs!!! XD Will also be bringing copies of the Star Trek manga I've drawn for to sell and whatnot, along with buttons, mini prints and prints I'll be doing to accompany them ^_^V


Lessee...what else, what else...hmmmm...OH! I'm currently planning to be at Connecticon at the end of the month, set up at the NEFE booth in the Dealers Room to help promote the con and selling stuffs, of which I'll be debuting my Star Trek related merch there as a ';preview' of sorts for what I'll also have at NEFE...am sure I'll get more ST related stuff done for NEFE, but what I have now so far is a good starting point to sell at Connecticon XD


...OH! I know! OKay! I am once again stumped on what fanart to do for art prints....seems my Gurren Lagann stuff has been selling pretty well, but I don't want to do TOO many of them and whatnot...am thinking doing a Zelda:PH/Spirit Tracks/Link related fanart print to sell given the new game coming out later this year or so...but know if there's enough interest in it that'd help it to sell well...Was also thinking of using a bunch of my chibis to make mini 4x5 prints to sell since those seem to sell pretty well...INPUT PLEASE???!!!

Alrighty! Heading off...lots of work to catch up on...a family birthday party to get ready for this weekend, a bridal shower for my bro's fiancee to also get ready for...and Connecticon prep! XD;;;

Later! ^_^

=========================================


Once again...Commissions are closed until further notice...aka...till I have time again to do them.^_^;

YES! :D

Am hoping to 'self-publish' it in Chapter sized installments (25-30pages) with the first installment/book available for sale starting April 2010 (released at Anime Boston 2010 and on my website thereafter! :D)
SICK! :D
