Hello, it's been awhile.

First of all I wanted to thank all the people who gave me kind birthday wishes. Thank you!

Also I wanted to announce that I decided to crawl out of my little hole in the ground and start doing conventions.

I thought y'know I should start actually meeting people.

I'll be sharing a table with the generous and talented at the New York Big Apple Comic-Con 'Spring Edition' at Penn Plaza this Saturday and Sunday May 21st and 22nd. The table is under his name so just look up Khary Randolph and I will be there!

I will be selling prints, sketchbooks, and hand drawn sketches. So if you happen to be there, stop by!

I'm off to the New York Comic Con!

...now I have BEDBUGS. In the immortal words of Charlie Brown, AAAAAUUUUGGGHH!

The thing that sucks is this is the 3rd time in 4 years (The last infestation was over 2 years ago.) With cleaning, bagging, washing and spraying, I am exhausted and exasperated. Plus when I tell people about my situation they look at me weird and take two steps back. I feel like a pariah. Not fun.

As you can imagine, I have not been drawing much, but I'm determined to get some semblance of order by the end of the week so I can spend Labor Day weekend just drawing and relaxing.



Apparently I am delicious.

Artwise, these past few weeks have been über productive for me (I'll upload what I've been working on deviantArt later). It all came screeching halt last week when:

1) I got struck with food poisoning. (Possible culprit organic blueberries from Trader Joe's)

and

2) Dragon Quest IX came out on DS.

I'm feeling lots better since last week (can eat solid foods, yay!)

However the prognosis of overcoming DQ9 fever does not bode well.

Too... much... fun... must complete.... all quests... go on without me.

*collapses on floor*

I have just noticed I hit my 2 year mark on deviantArt last week and decided it's about time to change my avatar. The previous red fluffy thing was just something I made a looong time ago and was conveniently lying around my hard drive.

So now I formally introduce,the real PROTOKITTY!

She's a space-faring, genius, cat o' adventure, saving the universe in-between kittynaps.

Yup, she's a character I created a while ago with the intent of creating a comic around her. The story loosely based on 'Puss-in-Boots' and the 'Last Starfighter'. It'll probably be long while 'til I get to drawing it, but for now she will serve as my official mascot.

Long Live Protokitty!

It's been over a year since I joined deviantArt and this is my first journal entry.

Hello!

First, I want to thank the deviants out there for their kind comments, favs and deviant watches.

Secondly, I want to apologize for not responding.

Writing does not come naturally to me (that's probably why I draw). Often times when I sit down to try to write, I hear a desolate WOOOOOO noise and my mind goes blank.

Still that's no excuse. I promise to be better about it and to respond to comments. It might be a while but I will respond!

DeviantArt is such a great community it would be a shame if I didn't take part in it. It's time to get over my writing anxiety and start reaching out!

Here's to a fun and prosperous future on deviantArt.
