Three Knocks, Black Cat Ball, City of Craft!

Happy Monday!! It was an eventful weekend, and I've given myself a little time off to look for a new apartment. Past Friday was the opening night for Three Knocks at Narwhal Art Projects/Magic Pony, and as you might be able to tell from the photo, it runs till December 5th. So there is still time for you to go check it out for yourself. There are 3 different artist, but I only got 2 of the 3.

NYCC, Canzine, Nucleus oh my

"Ugly Dolls @ NYCC"

Hey there, Happy Wednesday! A lot has happened since I last posted! I went to NYCC but I was in the forgotten NYAF artist alley... why can't we all just be together?! That aside, due to complications, I didn't have all my stuff. I had a more limited amount than usual. I shared my table with Morico, she had some bags, cute crocheted items and some original art!

"Our bare but cool table"

We made the best of it and set up our table. Thanks to everyone who stopped by and got one of the new 1%talent featuring rounded corners and spot UV. Overall it, was a good trip and hope I could return to NY soon. 

"I'm running out!"

The past weekend was CANZINE 2011! It was super fun and it was at a new location! Personally I liked the old venue better. Even though we had our own tables, I was still beside Morico, thanks to everyone who came out!

"I'm a meatball!"

Finnally I have a piece in the Power In Numbers show online by Gallery Nucleus. It is on sale for $100 and a portion will be donated to WWF, the World Wildlife Foundation, not the World Wrestling Federation. Check it out, and while you're there, check out the other pieces. It's art for a good cause.

Fall and winter

O M Gee... well it feels like I might have disappeared for a while.. but only on the interweb. Anyways let get on with it, I've been busy running around trying to get stuff done and doing a couple of fairs and events since the last post.

First up, was The Renegade Craft Fair in Chicago. It was my first crafts fair and i was pretty excited. It did rain the first day but it still turned out to be a pretty goo fair :D, thanks for everyone who came out. This was my first craft fair, and it wont be my last.

"it was the first time I had a giant tent to myself, didn't know what to do at first but it somehow worked itself out"

"elephant march"

Next up, was New York Comic Con/New York Anime Fest, I had a great time at the con, and again, thank you to everyone that came by and said hello and everyone who picked up something from my table, you guys are keeping me alive.

"this picture was a bit blurry."

"watching the crowd"

Up next, was CANZINE!!! except i didn't take pictures, dummy, but take a stroll to Myra, Peter, and Jeannie from some CANZINE goodness.

"Sorry No pictures :("

Now, I would like to invite all those who are in the GTA (Greater Toronto Area) to come out to what may be a cold and chilly day, for........ City of Craft!!! This will be my first year there and hopefully not my last. IF you are one of the first 100 attendees, each day, you get a free goody bag, so come on out!

That is all for how, I'm working on new shirts and hopefully some some stuff for colder weather.

Anime Expo 2010
