"And... I Could Swear I Updated this thing more recently than February...
Yes... well... hello readers, if you still exist. I somehow managed to neglect this journal for far too long, but, then, I am easily distracted.
Anyway, I have photos from the Connecticon to share! Not so many as previous years, but I didn't spend as much time stalking cosplayers as I have in the past... and halfway through the con, I got my own table as an artist! The Artist Colony was booked when I tried to register before the con, but there were a few no-shows when I got there, so they gave me a table at a discount ^^ Met some wonderful people, said hi to some past buddies, all that jazz. very awesome.
So... pictures. Those can be found here!
I also continued my trend of commissioning every darn artist I could find to draw me a picture of Arra... missed a few, but did my best. It got a little confusing because some of the booths were relocated randomly. I'll be scanning and uploading the collection of commissions as soon as I get back home... currently stuck in Rhode Island on vacation doing... absolutely nothing really.
Finishing up my online summer course at SHU this week. It kinda ate up some of my summer, but it'll let me cut back on credits in the fall semester, which is good, since I've got two majorly time-devouring studio art classes in my upcoming schedule. Tuesdays and Thursdays this semester are going to be exercises in torture... But some of the material we've covered in this online philosophy course has been quite fascinating. I might post some of the essays I wrote for it here in the future... depending on how lazy I am.
Those of you who pay attention will notice I've got a new layout... not that I didn't like my old one, but it was time for a change, you know? Found this frog one on a free layout comm (which I have to re-locate later; my computer spazzed on me before I could save the link... 0.o'), decided it was cute, and thus what you see here.
Been doing a lot of drawing and painting, too. Hoping to get a little more done before the semester starts... after which I will be a slave to the assignments handed to me by college art courses.
That's all for now, but I'll try to get a few more posts in in the next few weeks.
