ASTL 2012

 Had a blast at ASTL this weekend. Sellin' stuff talkin' ta friends maken' new artist buddies, just the whole experience was a blast.  It has become clear that ASTL is getting pretty big. They pretty much doubled the amount of venders and artist from last year. Its just too bad the have to close the convention center down by 1am.  It would be great if this could be a 24hr. con. Anyway I had a great time!

Here is a pic of my booth this time. As you can see I gots my new cutouts and banners all out for everyone to see.  even sold my Yuki and a DBZ banner!

But the best part was on Sunday when I got to talk to Yuka-pon. Unfortunately I couldnt get away from my booth and see her concert. But afterwards I was able to visit her booth. I bought the pic I saw on her etsy I really wanted that she autographed for me and a button I also saw on hew etsy.  She even posed for a picture with me. Good times pyon

pre con work

Well as you know I was busy the week before ASTL trying to get these Cutouts done.  I really wanted to post this on friday before I left but I literaly finished these right before I left. But I think they turned out really well.  I especialy like the Mari and Yuki, But the Madoka, Miku, and Link look just as good.

more?

Well had a little hicup in my cutouts.  When I went to prep the last 3 on friday it turns out the primer I bought was bad. opened the bottle to find everything solid D: But it was already late and I had to work saturday so I couldnt get the stuff replaced till Sunday. So needless to say I havent gotten to starting them yet. Just put the second coat on this afternoon.

However I was able to use the time to make these Sailor moon pics. I found a set of canvis at the store a pack labled for $20 but the first canvis was cut so they had it marked town to $5.  I desided it was a good deal even with the one cut so I went and made something outa what was left.  I dont know what ima sell them for just yet but I do like how the came out!

well back to work! later pyons

Done!

Well I went ahead and finished the Yuki, I was gonna use the airbrush for the flesh tones but I got impatient and decided to mix the paint instead.  I think it turned out okay what do you think? Anyways that's all for now gotta finish the others but first Fringe!

Later pyons.

been busy

Hey I know I haven't posted in a while but I've been busy.... I swear I gots this new project I'm working on.  Can you guess what it might be? Well if you said 1/1 scale cutouts your right!  I got some of the cardboard from work and made my first one.  Its Yuki Nagano of course one of my all time favorite characters.  I also plan to do Link, Mari Illustrius Murakami, and Miku Hatsune.  Hopefully I can have them all done before Astl next weekend but who know yeah^^ anyways enjoy the pics.  I'll post the finished Yuki on Sunday I wanna use the airbrush for the face, legs, and eyes.

later pyons

Six Flags and Banners

Started Six Flags again this weekend.  So far its been great being back up there and doing caricatures everyday.  I was even able to get right back into it without my quality failing too much.  I usually use markers and art sticks at conventions and gigs, so when I h=get back to Six Flags my hands are are crampy and retarded so my drawings usually come out wiered.  I still don't really know how  I want to draw with a pencil and my style is usually inconsistent but meh.  We officially opened Friday and for some reason I thought we where on a Late schedule so I didn't wake up till 11:30 but it turned out I was supposed to be In at 10:30... oops.  We'll it turned out to be a pretty slow day but I did have fun.  I do wish Anthony had come back this season but we still have a good crew going.  Today was a bit busier after lunch bit not so busy that I wasn't able to get a little coloring done on some of my posters for convention.

I've also printed these banners. They are 2.5x4ft. and look awesome.  I have two different prints ill be selling at Astl and Acen this Link and a DragonBall pic with Launch, Bulma, and ChiChi.  I hope you all like them and come visit my booth. Astl is in 2 weeks and Acen is in 3.
