Well, the first book that I have illustrated that is. ^_^

and I have been working together on this project since the fall. She's the author and I am the illustrator, and we are pleased to present our first children's book!

It is available for purchase here: [link]

In 30 to 45 days it will be available on Amazon.com and other bookstores. And in about that same time I will have copies of the book that you can purchase from me(which I will gladly sign if you wish!). I'll make a journal announcement when I have copies. ^_^

So go order Adam B. Brave! Support your art community! And read the short fantasy adventure of one Adam B. Brave as he rescues his mother from a dark chocolate dragon!!

So, in July I'm planning on going to Tokyo in Tulsa and have an artist table there~ selling my wares. I created some anime fanart stickers and bookmarks for Naka-kon earlier this month and they did well. I want to expand my collection, so I am looking for suggestions on what anime characters YOU would want to see as a sticker or bookmark! I've done the inner scouts and most of the outer scouts from Sailor Moon (which I plan on finishing up the rest of the outer scouts for Tokyo in Tulsa), the Suzaku people that matter from Fushigi Yuugi (plan on doing some of the Seiryu peeps), five Naruto characters, and six Pokemon characters.

So, what characters from what anime(s) would you like to see as fan art you could buy at a con? List three, five, ten~ whatever! Just list the character's name and anime they are from. ^_^

And for those curious folks, these are some animes or games I'm considering doing fan art stuff for:

DBZ
FFVII
FFX and maybe some FFX2
Pretear
Loveless


Oh! And I just realized I reached 30K in pageviews! Weeee! Thank you guys!!!

And Naka-kon has now come and gone! This year it was at the Hyatt at Crown Center in KCMO and I must say, I love that venue. The room the vendors and artists were in was nice and big, and getting around that area of Kansas City is easy peasy and nice. This year was the first year I finally broke down, drew some anime fan art and sold it along with my Enchanted Names and fantasy pieces. I really did enjoy drawing all the chibi fanart and such~ I've just had this thing with drawing fanart ever since my Disney Princess's were stolen a loooooong time ago (but that's another long story we won't go into).

I brought the hubby with and he was REALLy enjoying himself. So much so he wants to cosplay next year! We've decided we're going to go as Ramna 1/2 characters~ he will be boy type Ramna and I will be girl type Ramna. I have basic sewing skills, so I figure I can find some patterns and alter them slightly to get what we need for their outfits, which are relatively easy. I did Miaka Yuki's red priestess outfit several years back for cosplay, so surely I can do Ramna's!

On another note... I want to cosplay as Lulu from FFX sometime too... After I've developed my sewing abilities that is...

And on another note~ I have leftover bookmarks and stickers from the con! So, if anyone is interested in buying some bookmarks or stickers from me, just note me and let me know what you're interested in! The stickers are the same characters as the bookmarks, just they are round-esque stickers for slapping on sketchbooks and the like. I can show those interested in stickers jpegs so they know what they are getting.

Prices for bookmarks: $2 each, or you can get 3 bookmarks for $5
Prices for stickers: $0.50 each, or you can get 5 stickers for $2

So, I haven't been around for a week or so now. This past week my husband and I had to travel to upper Michigan for a funeral. His grandma passed away in her sleep at the age of 86. She lived a long and happy life, and the funeral was nice. And we got to see a lot of relatives and a bunch of us 20somethings to 30somethings went sledding out on a hill on the farm. Many of us also came back with bruised bums, since we hadn't sled in many winters.

Also, yesterday was hubby and I's 4th wedding anniversary. Gosh, I can't believe how time flies! Seems like just yesterday he and I were arguing at the lunch room table and he was stealing my Nutrigrain bars and other varous lunch items.

So, the short story is I'm backed up on messages and watches and all that jazz. So I'm working on catching up. /nod

Hope everyone is doing well!!
