Opf, Con Sketches & Chum Bear Tags

Opf, I forgot!! I started a new sketchbook while chumming it up at the comicon table... Hundreds of cosplayers walked by and I think I was hungry and thirsty a lot of the time.

Annnnnnnnnnnnd here are the backstories I did for the Chum Bears:

Oheyyyohhh

Hi there folks~! Long time no see! Ugh... I'm now living in Phoenix- not much of a change in scenery but it's still different than Tucson... and away from a secure home, adorable puppies, yummy food, TV, constant internet connection, and everything else annoying and nice. Although my family is not too crazy about my starving artist lifestyle, they still gave me the support to get me started and keep me going... so I'm grateful for them... anywayyyyy... Ah, I'm running out of time. Currently, I lack internet at my place, so I'm taking advantage of Border's free wifi.

Sam Laggren and I are Chu Chu Chums and we will be doing a table at the Phoenix Comic Con. You can check it out some more, here. I'm sooooo excited!! I have mini comics and surprising things to sell... Now, I'd like some feedback... I did this sort of cover thing for a nonexistent comic... I'm wondering if I could sell it as a print, maybe? Yes? No?

I appreciate everyone for looking! Thank you! Thank you! Much Love!

01210- it was yesterday.

Yes, it's been a while... and it's kind of late right now... it is 1:31 AM. My sleeping schedule has been weird- but so has every thing else... Yay, it's 2010! 2009 was a great year... but a terrible year too! I can't decide... @_@ 2009 = the very best and the worst of times... I made some good friends, graduated, studied abroad in Italy, had a bunch of gelato... then went to San Diego Comic Con, lost confidence, acquired ultra sadness, and had difficulty finding a worthwhile job- Unfortunately, however, I'm still in the same position. u_u BUT it's OK, guys, I'm persevering, still drawing, living and eating... but not sure if my parents want to keep me around anymore. It's been hard, but I'm pretty sure it is hard for some others too. Yay, starving artist, FIGHT OHH!! I chose this lifestyle, so I must keep working harder. Although there are so many things that put you and I down, it still doesn't really do any good to be mopey about things... so keep going! YEAH!

So en route to starving (surviving) artist awesomeness, I designed postcards to send out to multiple art directors, editors, and maybe publishers of magazines. I should've done this before I graduated... oops... So I am doing it now!

And I'll be among the independent art exhibitors at the Phoenix Comic Con in May with Sam Laggren! Eek! I'm excited... but I have so much work to do. It's quite difficult when I'm mostly focused on other things, argh! I hope things will calm down so that I can get to work! I've started writing a story for a comic I'll be doing- it is going to be a sort of shoujo mangaesque comic, haha. And we've also started an "exquisite corpse" comic. Sooo stoked!

Oh, and I drew this on Photoshop... She's doing the cat's cradle with her hair... *v* Happy New Year!!
