I know..I'm awful at updating this..

Well, as you know, I've graduated from SVA...which I dearly miss! I no longer reside in the city. Until I can get back onto my feet with a job, I won't be there. But, I've been trying to look for a job, and even a normal one as well and I haven't found anything still. But, I haven't lost hope. I know we're in a tough economy right now, and all I can do is keep looking and putting my work out there.

I have, however, been keeping myself busy by making fan-art for the upcoming New York Anime Festival/New York Comic Con which will be happening October 8-10 at the Javits Center in NYC. I have a table at NYAF with two of my friends. I've been making fan-art and it feels so weird cause I was so use to drawing original pieces. But, this is fun at the same time because I get to draw the chars. I love from video games/anime/manga. I am still pondering if I should make more work for it though it's a few days away. I have a bunch of things to sell already, but I think one more drawing shouldn't hurt.

A few months earlier, a friend & I sold our comics at MOCCA which is more of original work of companies and artists from SVA, and all over the world. It's a bit on the indie side, but it's quite amazing. And since, that was a good outcome, we decided to take a bigger step and sell our work at a even bigger convention.

I still haven't decided if I should put up my fan-art onto my site, because it is my portfolio. I'll see...

But for now, I must return to running errands and possibly more NYAF work! Ciao for now. <3

Happy Belated New Year! ^_^

I know! I apologize...it's been forever since I wrote on here. But things are going well. This semester I will be preparing myself for MoCCA which is a small press convention where students show off their work. My friend Amy & I bought a booth, and going to have our individual comics as well as a collabed comic...which I am very excited about. Last semester we did a 6 page comic collab, and it came out really well. We're quite good at balancing each other out and working together.

I'm just about done with my 18 page comic based on Grimm's Red Riding Hood, but with my own dark twist to it :) It's a bummer because I'm getting artist block..since I am almost done with this comic, I need to start on a new one, but I have no idea what my next comic should be. My professor suggested to keep to 4-6 page comics now since it's getting close to MoCCA and the spring semester is already starting to go by quickly...last semester!! Then graduating @_@; whoo-boy!

Changing topics !! So, overall I've been enjoying the free time I have with family & friends but preparing myself for not only MoCCA but the end of the semester because our Chairman will be coming around and looking at our work..which makes me quite nervous, but it'll work out for the best.

I hope everyone's New Year is on a good start and stays a positive path! I've learned to get things you strive for, believe in it...tell it to yourself over and over to yourself...but in a positive manner, and it'll happen. If you think negative, then the worse will happen because you projected it that way! So all smiles =]! Keep a positive mind!

Much love!
