Wow I've been MIA from deviantart for a while. I just finished looking through hundreds of deviations and updates! ahhh.

when did I get a DD??? LOL I didn't even know!!!! Thank you for featuring my belldandy.. a month ago!

I've been doing mostly traditional paintings this year in oil, acrylic and watercolours in preparation for my graduation art show in april! I'm having a lot of fun with it and I'm probably going to stick to it for a while. You guys can check out my blog at [link] . I update it.. a little bit more than my DA. not that much more though!

Convention season starts soon. The first one I'm going to be at is Anime Boston on march 21st. see you there!

Yay my 4th year of school. It's going really well so far and I hope I can have a kickass grad show. I'll have to work hard! Theres a lot of stuff I want to experiment with this year. Mainly, I'd love to do some more traditional pieces and play with oils and watercolour. We'll see what happens!

I had an awesome summer. Thanks to everyone who visited me during conventions and bought my prints! you guys are the best. I just came back from AWA a week or two ago and it was awesome. That's the last one for the year but I'll be starting again next march at anime boston!

I'm keeping busy now with school and I'm working with Scott Page at his studio. Check out his site ---> [link]

I started adding prints too. I saw a couple print requests for the anime north momiji so I added than one and then my newer stuff. I guess it's time to take advantage of this print account i've had forever.

ps. I can't wait til halloween! best time of the yr fo sho.

you guyzzz come visit me at otakon. I'll have a table in the artist alley and will have some posters for sale. There will be one new one too of Tear Grants from tales of the abyss.. I just have to finish it tonight, lol.

I'll be sitting in between and and in island U.

Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Just got back from A-Kon.. my favourite convention ever. Other than a super flight delay, and the dealers upstairs stealing a bunch of my friends' artworks and printing them on tshirts and stuff, it was an awesome experience.

Great organization, amazing staff, unlimited snacks and drinks, best location. I couldn't ask for more.

Thanks everyone for stopping by! I always make a lot of friends at a-kon.

Last week was Anime North.. not my fav con ever. lol. What is up with the staff and security there? They must all have something stuck up their asses.

I was in the dealer's room this year because of some lame complications with my AA registration.. then AA got "full". I don't know but last time I checked, the definition of full wasn't having a bunch of empty tables allover.

So ya, my friend ed and i spend $400 on a dealers table. It was weird being in there.
There was one incident where I was accused and yelled at for stealing people's artworks and selling them. I don't know whether to feel flattered or offended. The funny part was that they told me that that they knew the artist personally. At the time I was pretty insulted but I guess they were just trying to protect me.

Anyways, all I ask is that, try to get your facts straight before you go and accuse people of things like that and badmouthing my booth to people in the artist alley who end up being my classmates. It doesn't look that good for me or you.

Well, next one is Anime Expo. I am super excited for that one.. they got tons of awesome guests. I'm working on two new prints for that one.. Look out for me!!! (If I get a table.. I'm still on the waiting list, lol.)
