Norwescon 34!

What a blast!

Sold a bunch of work, sat in the artist alley, and met many a cool artist.

Thank you David Ketcherside for organizing the artist alley, as well as Pat and Doug Booze for organizing the art show.

So glad I had Chris Baldwin as a neighbor in the artist alley, as he is a very talented and entertaining comic artist.

good times

This year is looking really great so far

After working for a few months at multiple jobs, barely having any time to doodle much less see my boyfriend, things are paying off a bit.

I got my studio up, with my imac and wacom cintiq going, which is a GORGEOUS experience in itself. And just got the news that a table has freed up at the Emerald City Comicon 2011!!! I'm going to be at the convention after all! What a freakin' stroke of luck

OryCon 32, Nov. 12-14, 2010

Was like having a badass cup of tea.

It seemed like a smaller version of Norwescon, and I still sold a reasonable amount of art and prints, as did the majority of the other artists. My "Lily" and "Surfacing" originals have found new homes, and several prints were purchased. Got a couple of ribbons for my Bullfly piece.

I got to sit front and center in the exhibit hall and draw on my lovely cintiq too. Felt more like I was showing off a wacom product more so than my artwork, but I did end up meeting several swell people.

Also stayed with my family in the Portland area during this event, and I got to meet and hold my three-week-old niece.

Is it fall already? Wait...winter?

Well, I have not been able to produce any completed art pieces lately, just the sketch "Harpies" below, a study for my Gender Myth series (in watercolor)

I cannot describe my disappointment enough, at the 2011 Emerald City Comicon Artist Alley filling up before I could enter :(

I've taken up a couple extra seasonal jobs, on top of my usual web design job, to catch up on some debt/bills, making my wacom cintiq sad and lonely :(

Also! I got some royalties from Artisans where my watercolor prints are for sale, sold a couple prints on ebay, and one more on etsy. I'm not rolling in the art dough by any means, but it's the most satisfying income I've had all year.

I'm still planning on going to this upcoming OryCon in November, and RustyCon in January. I'm also committed to drawing a comic for Fadere, a writer I met online whose writing I admire. Titled: "Sweet Noms".

Fun times at the White Salmon art walk

Had a good time, except for the abominable heat!

I now have several watercolor pieces up at Artisans in downtown White Salmon, WA

They're not wisdom teeth. There is nothing WISE about them.

During a break in painkillers, this drawing came to pass:

Poster madness

I used a different painting technique in this illustration then usual...and I think I like it. By using brush-ier paint strokes I got that 'ominous' look of the three elements (Bull, castle, and ocean with unicorns).
