So yeah, on the art-side of the con this year, I had a god-damn blast.

As I mentioned elsewhere, I'm done with my old, grainy colored pencil badges. They always just seemed, "Eh". Even if I did sell 'em quick 'cause... Like... They were cheap. But I TOTALLY got to do several watercolor badges this year, and I was super-psyched with how they turned out! Hopefully the word will spread, and I can do more online commissions, and make up the costs of attending cons like I did this year ^.^

One of the other things I offered at the con were "Grapefruit Badges", essentially I brought my tattoo gear with me, along with a bag of grapefruit. $5 and I'd tattoo you onna piece of citrus. Sadly, I had no takers on this. While it is a rather transient medium, fruit, I was hoping the novelty would sell, along with the extra added protection against H1N1 and con-crud when you got hungry :P Maybe if I'd actually bothered to set up an example, or even better, just start inking right there in the Ally, it would've stirred more interest :P

The couple art trades I did were fun as well. Especially with fellow crossdressing avian  drakky :P Sorry for the couple of ya I never got to.


BIRDSONGS, I am totally drawin' the next strip, which should be up tonight or tomorrow. It seems I have misplaced the old carry-sized sketchbook I jotted down all my character 'cheat sheets' in 2-3 years ago (moving repeatedly does that, it's in a box somewhere I'm sure). It's mostly just color doodles I made for the plumage patterns/wing structures of some of the main characters' species. It's no biggie, just means I have to google references :P

Oh, and it's fantastic! Not only am I slowly remembering all the story arcs and crap from before, but I'm fitting shit together I wasn't able to years ago. No worries folks, in a couple weeks/month or two you'll start seeing our first blue/red bordered strips ;P I know that's the only reason anyone'll read it *pokepoke*
