Hey guys! Thanks for sticking with me although I haven't been too productive lately I do have a few things in the working, cosplays as well as regular art. At Fanime I was inspired to do some fan art collections to potentially sell prints of at a future convention, so I'll be building that up as well as continuing with cosplay and original character illustrations (which sadly have been neglected T_T). I'm trying not to stretch myself way too thin, but there are so many things I want to do and so little time, especially in the tedious way I work ...And I'm also rather lazy.

Commissions are still open as well, though I hope you guys are patient

Well, not really boring, but since Fanime is over I feel rather a sense of let-down, since I don't currently have any projects with immediate deadlines. Not that I don't have any projects, of course - between the awesome commissions I get to do, the art I want to start, the cosplays I've been coordinating with *Lunarloopcosplay, finding a normal summer job, and making trips up to my other home to move stuff in and visit, I'll be nice and occupied. Yay!

Art and Jewelry Commissions are open, as well, since I don't have schoolwork to focus on. I'm afraid Cosplay Commission slots are all filled up indefinitely, though. See below for the link to pricing chart and guidelines

Yes. It is here. This weekend I will be attending Fanime, which is the largest Anime/Manga/Games convention in Northern California, and which is held at the San Jose McEnery Convention Center.

I will be attending all four days, so if you're going to be there, try and find me! I will be cosplaying...
Friday: Riza Hawkeye (Fullmetal Alchemist)
Saturday: Kallen Stadtfeld/Kouzuki Karen (Code Geass)
Sunday: Princess Zelda (Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess)
Monday: Inoue Orihime (Bleach, Hueco Mundo Arc)

Hunt me down! I will be at the 1:00 Code Geass gathering on Saturday for sure, but I'll just be wandering for the rest of the time. I'd love to meet anyone from DeviantART who is going!

I seem to be going to rather a lot of festivals these past few weeks...well, two festivals.

The Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland was very fun - our English class drove up Friday morning and arrived at our host university in the late afternoon, where we still had to walk for 20 minutes to find food. The food that we did find was good, though. On Saturday we saw a really good production of Coriolanus, and on Sunday we saw a really awesome production of A Midsummer Night's Dream, which is refreshing because I highly dislike that play in general.

Cherry Blossom Festival this weekend was also a ton of fun - my Zelda cosplay won third place in the cosplay contest, so I got to ride on the cosplay float in the parade () and also got a nice haul of free stuff. I went with my friends from *Lunarloopcosplay and we had fun wandering around in Japantown in cosplay, getting stared at and taken pictures of Speaking of , I'd like to point you there to see some cosplay photos, some of which are mine which I have not yet posted in this account. Go check them out!

The downside of wandering outside for nine or ten hours in cosplay is that I simultaneously froze my butt of AND got quite an awful (but interestingly shaped ) sunburn. I'm sore now from that armor, but I'll still keep wearing it to conventions because I just love pain.

Because you know you want to know.

House Update
My house is starting to look like a house again! According to the photos my parents sent me over the weekend, our kitchen cabinets have been installed and there is already tile on the floor. The floor in our living room is due to be refinished in a couple weeks, so that's exciting. The two of them seem to be coping well with living in only the bedrooms (as do I when I go home for the weekend), but the construction is making great progress. I'm very excited.

Art Update
...I've been rather slumpy lately, due to various life distractions (read: cosplay, homework, and general spasticness...spasticity...on my part). I have a few sketches that can be finished up in time though, so hang in there. I'm itching to use my new tablet, but first I have to draw something

Cosplay Update
My newest obsession is going on strong. I will be attending the Cherry Blossom Festival in San Fransisco with a few friends this April as Princess Zelda, and Fanime in San Jose in May as various other characters that I'll keep sort of secret until they're finished
