It's official! Kiriban from me at 25,000 hits eeeeeeek!!

I was at Sakura Con this past weekend. Somehow lucked out to get a freed up table on the second day for artist alley! Uber thankees to the lovely Centi for generously allowing me to take up part of her table for the first day ^___^ <3

I met a lot of great people, and even ran into Yaya Han again in the dealers room.

Tried to get a table for AX a while back with no response from the AX staff >__> and no info on the website and lo and behold I hear now the artist alley was booked long in advance. =/ Since my manga is out now, maybe I can arrange something as an industry guest at AX.

If you'd like to get your hands on a copy of my first published manga, you can order directly from me (shipping within Canada and the states included, a little extra for overseas) by sending me an email or a note on DA!

I'll also start taking commissions again. Price guide can be found here: [link] Send me a note if you're interested!

I suppose I gotta redesign my entire website since it's too far outdated. That might take a while... not too much else to say right now other than I'm gonna try to finish some art before AX. I'd like to auction a large natural media peice as well in the art show. It's not finished yet, but I'll try to get a photo up soon.

Thanks again to all of you who visit meh^^.

Synopsis of Shadow Magic:
Spanning the space between existence and dreams an unknown darkness is unfurling its wings across the dimensions, slowly wrapping our world within its grasp. Should the gates between worlds open, nothing will be as it was.

In a dimension where magic and technology coexisted, an Empire comprised of an amazing and powerful species fell apart. The traitors who wereresponsible for the downfall fled to remote Earth to hide the B's Medallion stolen from the Emperor. However, they were trespassing where they didn't belong and are now forced to do the bidding of Atlantis. Several millennia have passed since then, and now the traitors reconstruct the barrier protecting the Earth from other dimensions.

180 pages

I'm working on it full time now that my Bardel Entertainment term is over.

Also finished the Shadow Magic trailer animatic. You can download it here: [link] You'll probably need the latest directX for Windows and DivX codec to view it with sound. There are obviously few places that will be different, but it's the general idea XD. Enjoy!

July 1-4 Anime Expo (Anaheim CA)
