FWA and exaustion
15 years ago
Well its about time I finaly sit down and actualy write about FWA instead of avoiding doing so like the plague. First of all I got a ton of awesome art, but unfortunately I have nowhere to upload it since FA decided to close regestration. We'll get around to that eventualy though.
So FWA...my first one. The largest con I've been to yet, and I have to say probably the most fun I've had in a long, long time. Yes, selling art wasnt the best way to spend most of it, I did miss all of the tracks, but between chatting it up with fellow artists, showing off my art and the many "Quin-Ventures" and other such things we did were super fun and well worth being in debt right now. I drew for some cool people all weekend and while perusing the artists alley I eagerly commissioned badges from
talenshi
ianjay and
mynameismad, a rad group of friends who all have the most unique and amazing styles, and definently need more recognition. I stuck with
caustickeet most of the time and we traded art while we werent busy in artists alley..which was a long time....We went to the mall to eat numerous times with
thewhiteotter and
grit-careless and me and Keet got matching, shiny blue and orange shotglasses that have peace signs on them and say HOTlanta, which makes me laugh even now. Uhm, lets see. Saturday was great, I made a new girlfriend
mahdira (god knows I need more female friends) and I bought a cute batik bandana from
lacrimas and made friends with her too! I got really social and even went dancing for the first time in my life. =3 Which was cool. Stayed up till all hours of the morning with cool peeps like
anteater and even got to talk to
2_gryphon and see some cool magic tricks! Sunday was chill and we had a good time even though things slowed down and the drive home was easy, though I really havent had time to recover. i'm a little sick with con crud and achey from dancing and running around for 5 days straight. Ugh. So here I am! 600 dollars in debt but with no regrets! Except I wish that
kyomana and
yoshii weren't so busy because I really didnt get a chance to hang with them since they had so many comissions (unlike me). Oh well! That's what RCFM is for. Come see me there and comission me!
In other news I'm trying to play catch up, I had alot of unfinished art to come home to so I cranked out about 4 peices last night and I've got about 4 more to go which are in line art phases, so that shouldnt take too long. When I'm done with that I'll be open to commissions again, and would love to do some to sharpen my abilities some more. =3 I didnt get enough to do at FWA.
As soon as I got home I canelled my cable, netflix, furc subscription and turned the air conditioner off in my house and have been keeping very frugal, only bought sale items at the grocery..I'm trying to budget my money and save up alot because....*drumroll* I'm comissioning a fursuit from
media when a slot opens up. Being at FWA, I couldnt stand it. I want to be able to experience suiting atleast once, and I want a pretty suit. Yay! So that's very exciting, and hopefully I can save up some extra money in the mean time by learning to live frugaly. God knows I waste money. But I want nice things and since work wont give me a raise, well..time to eat rice and beans for a few months. =D
Well that's all for now. i'm a little burnt out still and am not sure what else to say. If anyone wants to jump in the cue for comissions you can do so now. I should be making a journal about them really sooonish with prices and slots and whatnot. Even though no one will probably want anything XDDDD okay thanks for reading <3

I'm comissioning him because he's completely OCD about character design like I am. XD and his suits are clean and a good mix of toon/realism. YES we should totaly hang out in the ATL, GURL. my sister lives there. I hope I can move down there in a few years too. Buh, once college is done.

I heard most of this! Yay! Except the batik bandana part. Nift. And the 600 dollars part I didn't know you were that much in debt. x.x Rice and beans are tasty though. Abuse seasonings, that's how I make everything edible.
