how yall doin
Hello, I am sorry I haven't been posting more, I'll try to change that.
I MISS ONLINE SOCIALIZING!!
Where do you guys waste time online these days? Have you moved on to crap like Facebook? I am honestly curious.


I stopped by Wondercon Saturday. It was surprisingly busy. I met ljpalz [info]astrokittie and[info]toggy along with their friends Diana and Evan (the finest Kanji Tatsumi cosplayer I have ever seen). I saw an excellent makeup demonstration and shopped the dealer's room.

I bought something from Jeremy Bastian, an extremely skilled dude in the artist's alley. He has a comic coming out next month, and he had some original pages on display.. they were painted on 9 x 12 paper.. with huge margins. I asked him if he really painted it that small because OH MY GOD, the detail was insane. I also had to ask how he inked it, and he told me it was all done with a 00 Sable brush. Now I must get one and fail miserably at using it, haha.



WHOOOA
Anyway this guy was my big discovery of the con, most of the rest of the artists were familiar faces from APE, etc

On Sunday I visited ZA DAISO in Daly City. It is a Japanese dollar store, not unlike Ichiban-kan. I was tempted to purchase the foam plastic poop on a stick or a ridiculous sash. But I just bought cheap pencil lead and stationery goods.

Monday Tuesday - work, goof off. I'll scan stuff soon aahhhghgh

I somehow managed to miss that piece of awesome in the AA. I was getting a little overwhelmed by people by the time [info]toggy and I even made our way over there though. D=
That image is beautiful, and I'll definitely be looking into his comic!

I also didn't know we had a Daiso in Daly City. And I've lived here for like 11 years. orz

Anyway, it was great meeting you at Wondercon!

Nah. I'm in Redwood City. I just count the SF bay area as "here". I have odd concepts of geography. :'D

Is most of his work inked? That's a great picture, but damn. I wish I had that level of patience.

all of his work he had on display at the con was inked, as far as I could tell.

I hate facebook (and twitter!) because there is no way to have normal discussions. It's all a series of tiny blips of information which are constantly being pushed down by other blips from other people. Here I thought lj was made for the ADD generation, but I was WRONG.

Personally I'm going through one of those "internet is bad for your brain" phases and trying not to use it too much, but I've been wondering what you're up to. Starting this weekend I have a wonderful M-F schedule and weekends are free! :D We should hang out!

too bad, I thought you'd have some good things to say about facebook.

ooh, neat. so far my family's not interested in watching Watchmen, so I wouldn't mind seeing it with you.. but you probably already have your own plans to go. :)
