But surprisingly I’m not in a bad mood. Let’s review the past week and a half… On Wednesday I came down with a cold that I’m still suffering with. Been to the doctor’s, it’s not strep, pneumonia, or the flu (swine or other-wise..). It’s just a really horrible cold that. won’t. go away. On Friday I popped a tire and scratched up the side of my car. ( Read more... )

I got in touch with Jeff Watkin's the founder of Syracuse Heroes Expo, and managed to squeeze myself in.Yay!

Jeff is a great guy, and he's going all out to make a neat event for people in the upstate and central New York regions (and anyone who wants to travel in). Check out the Syracuse Heroes Expo website to see all he's got going on.

It's ( Read more... )

I feel like I lived a whole week today! It actually started on Sunday night when Mindy messaged me for details on our booth at the 2008 New York Anime Festival. Since it's coming up this weekend she thought we might want to firm up our plans. I've been so distracted with my house purchase that I haven't been paying too much attention to it. She ( Read more... )

Margaret spotted one of my buttons in Funimation's latest video podcasts! Check out the "Funimation Update: Quickie 8/18". They did a feature on Ball Jointed Dolls, and at time code 1:32 you can see one doll wearing my "Yes, I will KILL You In Your Sleep" Button. Hee!

It's fun to see how far it traveled! I wasn't even selling at that con. ^_^ That ( Read more... )

So I just found out from a friend's journal that NYAF is stating to people who call up asking for AA tables that their artist alley is for Pen and Paper arts only. (2-D art.) Nothing was said to me when I emailed asking about available space and requirements for the alley. I was just sent a contract. >_< Now I have to find out if my buttons are ( Read more... )

I was finally able to talk to the Dealer's room head. In the email I got from the con chair about having a table for me, he gave me her email address and asked for my phone number so she could call to set things up. I replied back with my phone number, letting her know I have free international dialing if she wanted me to call her. She waited a ( Read more... )

Anime North FINALLY got back to me! They say they have a table for me! *Dances* *Dances some more* *Does the Snoopy Dance*

It's still not a 100% certain. I haven't signed a contract or paid or anything, but still! Progress!

 Rather excited even with the unpleasantness from the forums at AB. A friend gave me a list of good restaurants to try, and I made 15 brand new button designs for this con. More then I've made in a long time! Seven of these were new Fruits Basket zodiac pins... I only meant to update the Kisa - Tiger button because it was the last hold out of my ( Read more... )

So, for the first year in... I'm not really sure how many... I didn't get an artist alley table for Anime North. They sold out, and filled up their waiting list before they got my email. The alley reservations started at 8pm yesterday, and since I was going to be out, my friend Margaret sent in my email. The message in her outbox says it was sent ( Read more... )
