So, total fail on my part. I got my stuff done, but I am much too late and missed out. Oh well, though, maybe next year. In the meantime, lots of stuff going on here! Woohoo!

So, my art studio was told we'd be put on hold for getting a table this year. I'm not going to say I'm not miffed, because I am a little bit, though I'm sure we'll get a table. We've been doing this convention for a long while--this would be the Studio's 7th year, and we strive to always bring new things to the table. Last year, the new things I had were postcards (honest-to-god postcards that you can send in the mail and everything), bumperstickers (only had 4 designs completed at the time), new buttons and a bigger size, and new badges. My prints didn't come because I'd misplaced the display folder, and it was still okay without them. Last year, we were the ONLY seller with BJD stuff, and we made bank on that stuff, so we were like "Well, we'll totally do that again and get more of certain sizes". I submitted my application and I started stocking for new things this year. So far, I've completed two new bumper sticker designs (Castiel's phone-minutes and Sherlock's psychopath/sociopath), and I'm working to make four more at least, two Dragon Age (new thing and we'd possibly be the only one with it), one more Sherlock (not telling, that one's a surprise), and one more Supernatural one. Buttons will also follow, and chibis are coming back again. I ran out (yes, OUT) of Castiel chibi stickers and need to make buttons of the adorable angel! Two more badges are in the works as well, I will probably need/get Andrew's help for those (as he has more actual design sense when it's not a drawing), and I'm trying to debate whether to do more Game of Thrones or not. Superhero stuff is totally gonna happen too, complete with Loki prints (already did Loki, who is going to be redone soon)
I also have a whole stock of more BJD outfits too! Learned from our mistakes--we have more yo-sd stuff to offer this year.
So yeah... HOPING SO HARD FOR THE NEBRASKON TABLE AGAIN!

So, this year has been a combination of awesome and... not...
First of all, I was approved to move into this awesome complex, and just had to wait until... September. Okay. Great. Yeah, I can do that.
That went by sooooo slowly! Waiting for September 13th was like torture. Then I moved, and all went well. I had some vacation a month after the move, and last weekend was my yearly anime convention, Anime Nebraskon. I did super well and avoided almost all of the drama that has followed my studio for the last few years (and funny enough, all I did differently was to tell one of my normal assistants to find someone else to get a table with). I had new badges and buttons, and had bumper stickers and postcards for the first time. I did get two commissions, and I'm pursuing getting a third.
So, largely good, right? I even was able to get Trans-Siberian Orchestra tickets for the first time! Seriously, I have been wanting to see these guys forEVER! And, it's a present for my mom. Great news, right? So I called mom to remind her not to make any plans for next Wednesday. I get a series of swears and a "I'm sorry, sweetie" in response. My sister (who I love, I would never make my mom choose between us) is going to state with her volleyball team, and the first match is that day, so there's no way she can make it. Sigh. My roommate can't go, my grandfather is out of state until Christmas, I don't really want to take my brother (who already owes me money) because I just spent a convention with him... Sigh. I found a friend who will go with me, of course, I just... I wanted to take my mom... Last year, I bought us Manheim Steamroller tickets, and I came down with the flu (rather violently) like four days before. So yeah. Sigh, *lip quibble* I really wanted to go with my mom, and spend time with her...

Coming Back...
2 min read
So, coming back to all of this after, what, three years now? Wow... I used to be a regular artist here, I was in and out and everywhere, and then life and drama and just THINGS happened... *rubs face vigorously* I met people, made friends, acquired enemies, and I've been slowly honing and crafting my skill to get myself back in the game.
I told myself I wouldn't come back here, not because I didn't LOVE the friends I'd made and the things I was learning about myself and the world around me, but it was just too much to sit about and clamor for attention, "Look at my stuff, please, tell me if I'm getting better, I need to know that I'm not as worthless as people tell me I am"... But it's surprising how many artists, when they ask what your DA name is, and you say "Oh, I don't do it anymore", their attention just kind of fades or drops off. I don't Facebook because of family drama, I twitter but only in bursts and I generally get bored really fast, and I lurk more on forums than I post anymore.
But I do miss the social interaction....
So I came back. I've been so far locked out of my account, so sorry to anyone that might have been trying to get ahold of me at 
, I'm afraid I'm not answering to that phoneline anymore. I will be here, though, and I will probably continue to lurk and flit about. Expect more Labyrinth stuff for a little while, I got back into a kick, but... I promise, original stuff again soon...

Not that anyone probably remembers Comtedevugne, or The Lord and Lady, but... yeaaaaaah.... 70+ pages, baby, and I'm just getting started.
Looking forward to more art again soon!
Sincerely,
I hate starting over.
