Hey guys! Long time no see.
It's gotten super busy for me! (not necessarily a bad thing.) which is why I've only been able to update the blog sparingly lately. I don't really want to end up with a bunch of itty bitty short blog posts. That can get rather boring I'd imagine.
Anyway, the map for Otakon's Artist Alley has been released at last! With only a few short weeks to go I can tell you guys where we're going to be located! Luckily, it looks like I won't have to try and shout at people from a desolate corner this time! I'm actually decently close to the doors, which is a good thing I hope. Click HERE for the map!
The print line up is pretty well the same as Animazement. I think I'm going to add a few things though. Tinkerbell will no longer be available. For some reason she never really sold well, it took three conventions to get rid of twenty Tinkerbell prints! I'd say that's not really worth doing over. I have a few works in progress that I really hope to have finished by the time I make it to the convention!That Daenerys print I was working on is still making progress. Since I don't think there's much point in keeping around two prints of the same character, I plan to replace one with the other. So Otakon will more than likely be the last place that you can get my old Daenerys portrait.
As you can see here, the old one is a little boring. Very stylized, supposed to look sort of water color. I mean let's be honest here, it was the best I could do with a cell phone picture of a sketch that I did a while back.
I was at least happy that the character was recognizable. It made me happy that people loved it so much. I have a feeling that the new picture is going to blow it out of the water. I showed a small preview before and this is the only place online that I'm going to show a bigger one.
I am very out of my element with the newest painting. I don't paint dragons well. Or hands. So far I'm pretty satisfied with how it's coming out. It won't stay in black and white, but, unlike the other Daenerys print, this one will not come in an 8x10. It is formatted for 11x17 and that's that.
I'll also be sharing my table space with a good friend of mine. She won't have any prints, but she will have some really adorable origami crane earrings as well as some perler bead artwork! I don't really have any pictures of the perler beads but here's a few of her earrings sets for those who'd like to see!
On top of everything here I've also been signed on to participate in a comic anthology. I'll have more on that later, once we're further along. Seems that there will be a Kickstarter for it soon, so not to worry! You'll definitely hear all about it!
I'm excited about it since it is my first sorta serious job in comic books. I can't recall ever having to sign a contract at least! I was asked to color two, but between everything I have going on with my convention schedule, I could really only promise to color one.
Speaking of which, it's now time to stop writing. I need to check on my e-mail.
I want to take a little bit of time first, though, to say thank you so much to those who follow my blog, whether it be on blogger, or on the numerous other sites that I post updates on. I appreciate every +1 and comment that I receive! Thank you also with being patient with me. I know that I was planning to update twice a week but my schedule isn't really allowing for it right now. Trying to keep it to at least one random update every week.
Spark, Out. Until next time!
