And you said you had to get your laundry clean

I finally managed to make it through my backlog of entries and of course this is where I share that I am going back to Japan in March lol I'm pleased and excited to announce that I've gotten a space at Haru Comic City and with ee970's help I've applied to be a part of the Suzaku uke puchi being hosted by Double Slash. I can only hope that the application went through correctly and that I am now a part of it. I'll have to check every so often to see if the list is updated and I am added lol I totally need to revamp my website and part of the problem is I really need to get better at drawing and coloring on the computer and I still sort of prefer doing things by hand. Ah well. This also means I need to work on the copyhons I am hoping to do for this event, I don't want to be doing everything at the last minute again and I want to try doing more postcards. It's really exciting the prospect of being part of something with all the circles whose books I've been collecting for the last 3 years. I also sent one circle a gift picture and that was very nerve wracking. I'm hoping to get some sort of acknowledgment, it just makes me so anxious lol It's funny, I don't feel nervous asking for a sketch but actually sharing something I drew is completely different. I really hope she likes the picture. I still have a lot of room for improvement but I'd like to think I am getting better at drawing Gino and Suzaku. I want to make myself a LJ icon of them based off my own art...

And going onto that.. since most circles really hate people using their art I plan to get rid of any fan-art LJ icons I have that I do not own the rights to and to (i.e. the pictures Ko drew specifically for me to use are not the same thing at all!) slowly get rid of any of my official art LJ icons as well.

Finally, a picture from the darker side of Japan, before I share some more light hearted touring pictures.
