Yes, I'm still around. I've just been doing a lot of client work, which is stuff I can't post here.

My art is in a published book on Amazon though, go check it out! I did the cover and all the interior art, which is basically a 100 page educational comic.

I'm working on a steampunk comic project at the moment, so I may be able to post some stuff from that soon.

from Voices of a Distant Star: www.veoh.com/watch/v632651BKHP…

Mikako: Say, you know Noboru, I have a lot of things I reminisce about. After all I have nothing here, for example, you know...
Noboru: ...for example, things like summer clouds and the cold rain... things like the smell of a fall breeze...
Mikako: ...like the sound of rain drops hitting an umbrella... like the softness of spring soil... like the feeling of peace at the convenience store in the middle of the night...
Noboru: ... and then, you know, like the cool wind after school...
Mikako: ... like the smell of chalkboard erasers...
Noboru: ... like the sound of a truck passing by in the middle of the night...
Mikako: ... like the smell of asphalt in the rain. Noboru, things like that, I have all this time...
Noboru: ...I have all this time thought that I would like to experience these with you, Mikako.
Mikako: Say, Noboro...we are far, far, very, very, far apart...
Noboru: ... but it might be that thoughts can overcome time and distance.
Mikako: Noboru, have you ever thought about something like that?
Noboru: If... if for even one instant something like that could happen, what would I think? What would Mikako think?
Mikako: ...say, there is probably one thing we would think. Say Noboru...
[ Both ]: ... I am here.

Today my job (one of them anyway) has me designing a steampunk mad scientist outfit for a chameleon. I didn't even realize I was drawing it while listening to the Jekyll and Hyde musical until one of Hyde's songs came on and it kind of looked like the chameleon was singing it.

Sometime I love my job.

I was tagged by

There are six things you must tell.
3 negative and 3 positive, answer honestly of course.
Tag six blogs and link the blog who tagged you.

Three negative things you must tell:

1. Your least favourite cosplay and why.
Probably Legolas but only because there are so many pieces to it. I hate anything that's really complicated or uncomfortable, or requires a lot of time to put on. I'm still glad I did it though!

2. Your worst experience at con.
I always seem to attract creepers, so any time a creeper awkwardly hits on me it's usually the low point of that con...though I do get some interesting stories out of it.

3. Your worst con and why.
I've never had a bad con so I'll say another bad experience: one time at dragoncon the toilet in our hotel overflowed overnight so we had no idea until a hotel employee started banging on the door at an ungodly early hour and we woke up to like 4 inches of toilet water on the floor and it was in all our suitcases...luckily it was the last day of con but it still sucked...a lot.

Three positive things you must tell:

1. Your favourite cosplay and why.
Ramona from Scott Pilgrim - it's easy to put on, comfortable, and I think I have a lot in common with the character, both physically and mentally.

2. Your best experience at a con.
I don't really have a fav...any time someone compliments my costume I guess. Oh, or that time I watched Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter with a small group of people at like 3am and we were all riffing on the movie. I like moments like that better than meeting celebrities or anything.

3. Your best con and why.
Probably my first con, which was AWA (an anime con). Everything was new and exciting, it was like discovering a whole new world! (a close second is E3 though!)


People I'll tag:
and anyone else who wants to share cosplay experiences!

I ordered my Aizen wig today...as always I'm anxious about what will come in the mail. I have a big fat head so wigs tend to run small on me. ARG all I want to do is go to more cons! I don't want to go to work tomorrow.
