Belated Post-AC journal (This one says lots of nice things)
12 years ago
Hey Anthrocon was amazing this year, easily the best con I've ever done. I'd never felt so respected by fans and peers alike, it was a frikkin' fantastic experience. After doing this for five years it felt kinda awesome to REALLY take something away from the experience (and totally looking forward to topping it next year). I can't possibly name all the cool, enthusiastic people I met but you know who you are and you are amazing and please come back next year so I can continue to get away with doing this.
Anyhow, post con for the first time I didn't get con crud! Hooray! So naturally when I returned to work I bonked my head on an exhibit and took two days to get better. This was made even MORE fun because just a week BEFORE the con I had gotten a concussion while cleaning my laundry room. This is all compounded by those still-present-and-not-going-away vision issues I've mentioned before. This segues nicely into the fact that I may disappear for a week (again) to see ANOTHER group of specialists (again) to hopefully get at least a diagnoses. Seven specialists and over a hundred days in and all I've been told is that I'm "a puzzle".
Great, right?
But anyhow I've started sketching out everyone's commissions from the con and working on finishing the backlogged ones I have, it's been fun! However the con went so EXCEEDINGLY WELL that I'm fairly overwhelmed and won't be able to get back to updating "False Start" till probably around late August. I've got about a third of the issue penciled at least, but no new pages until I put a sizable dent in my commission log. Speaking of commissions....
THEY ARE CLOSED!
Like I said, I'd never ever had anything like this AC happen to me and, despite my middling internet presence, people seem to be EXTREMELY enthusiastic about my art. Which honestly kind of bowls me over like holy cow what? Me? Really? Well, alright then if you insist. So yeah, in order to get the commissions done and get FS back on a decent schedule I will not be re-opening commissions until MFF or until I really really need the money. Regardless, if you have any questions about the status of YOUR commission you can always note me here. Or, if just knowing more what I'm up to on a day-to-day basis is your thing then you can follow me on my twitter or tumblr: https://twitter.com/Boneitis and http://boneitisuno.tumblr.com/ respectively. I post a lot of art on my tumblr that never ends up here so it's kinda fun (sketches, layouts, inked things, etc...).
In short: Anthrocon was great, apparently people somehow like me and what I do, commissions are closed, and I'm working non-stop!

I'd love to get a commission from, in person, some day just fyi.
Incidentally, what cons do you typically go to? Perhaps I can see you elsewhere in the coming year.
Very best wishes for your health issues. Sounds pretty terrible and I hope you can get it all diagnosed and treated!
Your mom ate all the chocolates? Aww man. XD
I also hope that the new group of docs can tell you what's going on with your vision. :/ This is certainly one of the times that being 'puzzling' is not so fun.
I wasn't the only one to bring candy!? Yays! I wonder what other candies you were given, and I hope they all tasted good.
