I have survived A-Kon 22, and am now chilling at home with Togo Kami.   I didn't see too much at the con because I had to sit my and Stellar Horizon's tables, but I did enjoy the parts of the con I did see.  I really enjoyed all the people that stopped by and thanked me for the work I did on the badges and staff t-shirt, and their love for the style I use.  It would seem that folks still love "old school anime" style, and appreciate my keeping it alive.  Alot of badges got signed, and I sold a fair amount of prints, YAY!!  

My profits went into my dealers room raid (after covering costs...), and I still had money left over...some of which I used to buy dinner for my Stellar Horizons partners and friends...YAY!! Steak And Shake!!  The rest of the money goes into my general homefront funds.  Sadly, there's little I really want in the dealers room nowadays...but I did pick up the latest Shunya Yamashita book, two 1/144th scale VF-1 Valkyries, a 1/144th scale  CosmoFighter( Space Cruiser Yamato), a "Code Geass" Roman Album, Antarctic Press comic "Steampunk Palin"( too wierd to pass up) and few other comic books. I often will window shop artbook titles( and my eyes glaze at the $$$ con price mark up), and make note of ones I'd like to get, and plan to order them from Japanese booksellers at half the price in most cases( even with shipping).   

I got to do alot of people watching, which is a lot fun at a con..."does your Mama know you dress like that?"...and ate too many meals of Genghis Grill teriyaki chicken.  I also did some sketching and have a piece that I'm going to finish soon and post here on DA.

Thank you to all that stopped by and visited and expressed appreciation of my artwork, it has really helped re-charge me ,get me motivated, and out of the blue doldrums I've been in so long!!   I plan to have a larger table display next year and want to double( or more) the prints available and vary up the types of art for sale.   

So... I'm back at it, feeling better about things, and trying to not let the "world" get me down.

"Free RPG Day" is coming up, and we have a "Stellar Horizons" adventure module/ quick start rules set out for the event.  So find out if your game or comic store is taking part in "Free RPG Day" and get a FREE copy of "Stellar Horizons - The Road Less Travelled"!!
I think y'all will enjoy it, and it's a great way to get introduced to the Stellar Horizons game and the Valkyrie Games system.

Well, back to it...art to work on, Togo to walk and pet, chores to do, models & miniatures begging to be worked on, and people to contact. Oh, and badge art to post on DA!!

Life to live.
