Hey everyone! I'm going to be at Nadeshicon 2012 in the DEALERS' section (if there's a split, never been there XD). My friend offered me a spot at the last minute, so I decided to go for some adventure! This con is taking place April 21-22 in Quebec City, so if you have time and live close, drop by and have some fun

Will be there with prints, buttons, bookmarks, and (new product!) keychains!

Stop on at my table and say hello! I would love to meet you!


In other news, I'm finally playing FF7 and learning what all the hype is about XD ;_;

See you around~

I managed to grab a table from FCFS system about two weeks ago, but was waiting to get the real confirmation that they received my contract and payment before making it official.

So I'll be returning to Toronto again during the weekend (+Friday) of May 25-27, which is actually just a day after my birthday haha (excellent gift!!). I will be sharing with a friend, and I'll probably be high on coffee because the hotel I took this year has breakfast included!! (won't be bloated hopefully, indigestion is bad...)

I'll have with me prints (various series & originals), buttons (coffee & tea set, smiley faces, Chi's Sweet Home), bookmarks (Chi's Sweet Home, Bleach, coffee & tea set, Vocaloid) as usual. Maybe some keychains, but will make that decision later. If there's something you'd really like to get from my gallery, let me know!

So who else is coming? Visitor or fellow artist? If you're sure to come, don't forget to preregister as there is a registration cap this year, and less than 5,000 tickets to go! EDIT: Oops, only 3,000 are left!!!

*In other news: I am officially addicted to The Good Wife starring Julianna Margulies orz; also, not entirely sure on my opinion of the Black Rock Shooter TV Series yet*

And that's a wrap for my first convention in 2012! I've actually been back since very-late Sunday "slash" midnight to 1:00 AM Monday (thanks to *Eranthe and her generous lift from Gatineau).

I had a lot of fun as always. Thanks to those who made a purchase(s), ordered a commission, or just stopped by for conversation. Smaller cons feel more hearty and people seem to linger and chat more than in bigger conventions, so it was nice to have that type of atmosphere again.

I met some nice folks like my neighbor ~linami whom I bought a snack surprise pack with. Also, ~perishing-twinkie was sitting somewhere behind my table. *Eranthe and *YamiJay were also around my section (and Elsa Les Créations... >.< but I don't know her deviantART). At the other side of the artist space were ~pinkviviz, ~Katsuke-artwork, ~shunjin, and ~chou-chan. So I got to see a lot of people I hadn't seen in a long time. It was good fun!

Also met ~tarahm, ~AuthenticEm and ~ladykaryann brieftly!

I'll try to go again next year in 2013 if I can But for now the next big X on the calendar is trying to get into Anime North >.<

Time to brave through the rest of winter!!

Hi hi hi!

I'm leaving tomorrow for G-Anime! The dealer's room opens Saturday and Sunday. My table is M in the artist section. I'll have with me most pics from my gallery, Chi's Sweet Home buttons, and commissions on demand. If you are stopping by the convention, come by to chitchat! I would love to meet you!

See you next week ^^

It's going to be my first time there! Also my first time at a table alone X.X My con friend can't attend *SADFACE* Anyone (artist or just for fun) attending? Let's be friends!!! 8D

Cold weather is dropping by in Montreal and the surrounding areas. I'm going to have to dress warmly :< *tear* Hope there won't be too much snow this year. How do you get through the winter chills?

Recently I reread one of my favorite trilogies: Rose of The Prophet by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman. Better than I remembered, but (new) favorite character dies D: Nooo~ Also, possibly wisdom teeth erupting *PAIN*

I'm back from Otakuthon! Thanks to everyone who visited and double thanks to all those who bought from my table!!! I really appreciate your support!!

This year went surprisingly well for me. I'm trying to pinpoint if it was the fanart (I made a ton for AN and the Edgeworth pic for OTK), but whatever it was, I won't complain! One thing I did notice is that the crowd seemed a bit different this year. Things that I never sold before left in several copies, so I was very happy with that. Puella Magi Madoka Magica went well, as did Miles Edgeworth. Black Rock Shooter and Trigun were so-so compared to AN, much less hype over here. Also sold a couple of originals *squee!* Otherwise, I'm so dehydrated D: Everything exceeded my expectations by far, so I am very pleased.

Strangely, Friday and Sunday were the big rush days, whereas Saturday was running a bit slow O.O Most artisans/artists I talked to remarked this. I wonder why that was.

On the live organization side, things went great in Artisans' Space. I managed to have discussions with almost all of my artisans. The traffic flow was mostly constant for everyone, and several were thrilled by their experience.

As for guilty purchases... there were no good looking Kapibarasans this time. The one store that had any only had leftovers from AN, which I had already seen ;( Instead I got a small green octopus, a winter Mashimaro, and a duckie dressed as a toad. I bought two Trigun mangas from a dealer making crazy manga sales because he couldn't bring home his stock ($2 each!). Later, he just left the remaining ones there!!! I found one more Trigun and a Konjiki no Gash Bell! volume. So now I'm finally starting my Trigun Maximum collection YAY!!... Just 12 more to go D:

Hope everyone had a good time this year. Although on staff side we had some rough patches, I'm extremely thrilled at how things turned out despite that. Crossing my fingers that 2012 turns out well, although at this point I am not returning as staff for next year.

Thanks to everyone who bought something from me or just came to my table just to say hi! I had a lot of fun. Anime North's Comic Market is really something awesome ^^

I bought another Kapibarasan plushie (plus a Kapibarasan purse...) to fulfill my obsession -_-

Hope everyone had as much fun as I did, and I'm crossing my fingers to go back in 2012!

Hi!

For those still following my journals, I will be at Anime North's Comic Market for the first time

So if you are planning to attend and pass by there, come by and say hello ^^

Have a great 2 months prep before the con!

Hi hi +_+ Otakuthon is approaching, and I need $$ for costume..

For anyone interested, I am doing 10$ chibi lineart commissions with black shade. Here is a sample: [link]

Content and pricing negotiable, but please be realistic~ If you want colored version, we can discuss it also.

For all other information, please send note or email me +_+a

Thanks for looking ^^'

I'm not very strong on journals it seems. Posting more than one per year is like... wow.

Ay, anyway, I started university again in September, and there just isn't enough time between school work, part-time job, and trying to finish chapter 1 of REVOLT! (you may remember this as "Revolt Against GOD", I changed it because the new version sounds more catchy and less blablablablabla) + other things D;

Here's a preview of that chapter for those who are interested: [link]

Other than that, I've been listening to a lot of EXIT TRANCE. It's great! It gives me a lot of ideas for scenes xD

I been wondering, is anyone still following Naruto? It seems to get worse and worse with every release, dunno what Kishimoto is thinking -_-

End of 2009 Aspirations
Learn to draw faster
Pass all classes well
Finish chapter 1 of REVOLT!

Find the anti-lazy magic potion

2009 journal yay?

Anyway, Otakuthon 2009, Montreal anime convention is happening betweek July 31 to August 2! If anyone lives around the region and wants to attend, please visit this link for more information and to preregister: [link]

In other news... I've decided to work on my Naruto doujinshi again after listening to Toshio Masuda's tracks... (Naruto 1 soundtrack basically). They were just too epic -_- not like all this crap in Shippuden, makes it heavy and preachy instead of freeflowing and full of energy ugh. I decided to make things semi-alternate universe since the storyline doesn't seem to be going to way I want it to (like the 55% of fans who left the series, aha), so yes. Reworking on that along with some changes in the plotline.

Anywho if anyone's still reading my journals have fun and great summer to you

What the hell oO Seriously, what is up with all the pr0n on deviantART lately? I go and check the Manga/Anime>Digital Media>Drawings and bam, 5 loli/yaoi/shota/pr0n images (even a naked Sakura from Card Captor Sakura WTF PEDO, someone needs to call Christ Hansen). Are people just way more retarded and/or desperate lately or something? This is an art site (or at least it TRIES to be because there are so many RETARDS that the shit is starting to outweigh the good stuff), not some whack place for people to post things they fap to.

Some people... NEED TO STOP CORRUPTING DA. It's already pretty goddamn crappy with all of the snapshots/MySpace camshots, tracing, and art theft; we don't need more crap.

On another note, Jesus Christ, there are so many more ATTENTION WHORE, OMG GIMME PAGEVIEW WHORES OR 5 SECONDS OF GLORY ON THE FRONT PAGE WHORES!

It was a nice idea to take a bit of a break from this place, might have turned into some badass attention craver too. Sheesh. This is the Internet, please get some attention elsewhere? =.= But still funny as hell to read, some of the "kind" people on deviantART need to continue contributing to Encyclopedia Dramatica.

Hi everyone D: I know I haven't been very active lately. I'm not really inspired to draw anything at the moment to be honest. But Otakuthon is soooo close (in a month), I have like no new materials T_T Anyway, this is mainly a journal to talk about Otakuthon

This anime convention is happening in the Montreal area at Concordia Univeristy, so if you're in the area, drop by and join the fun. Convention dates are August 4&5 (Sat&Sun). Entrance fee is 20$ for both days.

For more information: [link]

I'll be at the convention on both days as Artist Area director and will be sharing a table with ~Yue-Xumeragi, so if you do get time to come, just give me a shout XD

Oki, time for work, have fun all!
