Sept 22:  I'm reusing this journal so I don't have to bother anyone with such a minor update.  I decided to use one of my old accounts as my fanart dump.  Lots of sketches, doodles, and waaaayy too many sparkle ballerina Princess Tutu stuffs.  Yupyup.

March 23:  I attended SPACE (Small Press and Alternative Comics Expo) this weekend in Columbus.  It was a fantastic experience.  I was taken off the waiting list and given a table soon before the convention so I had very little time to prepare.  My sister was going to share my table with me but then sis suddenly had her own table!!  I was not hopeful about any sales because not only is it an incredibly small convention (literally one or two rooms) but what I brought was 95% illustrator and 5% comic artist.  Most people there were stocked full of their indy comics with only a few illustration prints.  I was intimidated the first day, wondering if I was fit to be there.  However, I did very well!!

I was so pleased to find what a friendly atmosphere it was.  I was able to talk to a LOT more artists in detail than I did at Ohayocon.  I loved it!!  The woman sitting at the table next to mine did traditional animation.  She was showing her 3-minute movie which she made by creating 1,200 individual guache paintings.  O.M.G.  The indy comic creators seem like a tight-knit community of creative people filled with artists and writers of varying backgrounds.  It was a HUGE networking experience.  I met so many wonderful people and got a LOT of offers for collaborative work.  I want to accept every single offer, as long as I'm able to fit it all into my schedule.  Thank you for the fantastic experience, SPACE!
