2014, the follow up to the year of all years
    11 years ago
            Top 5 of 2014
1. Attending Anthrocon for the first time in 11 years.
Damn that was fun. Moreso for the socialization than the actual con itself. I think we spent 75% of our time at either TenPenny or Tonic. I got to meet a few of my Australian customers and met a lot of interesting people... mostly at the bars! Also over 100 people showed up to my BC4C panel. standing room only wow.
2. Seeing the Grand Canyon for the first time. After BLFC in Reno, we flew to Arizona to relax with Thor's parents for a while. We took a day trip to the Grand Canyon and it was great. we even got some pics in suit.

3. 12 of my suits went to Australia this year which led to us taking a trip of a lifetime to Melbourne in Jan of 2015 to be a special guest of confurgence  (less than 10 days away!)   I've only met a few of ya at MFF and AC but am looking forward to our trip coming up shortly.  Its going to be hella amazing.

4. Hiring Help Can't say how great it feels to have hired some awesome people and see them make BC4C items. I am now solely making heads... really thats all I do. OK I still have to order materials, draw up quotes, update the website etc etc but for the most part, it was a great decision to make and I am quite fortunate and thankful for that. I have been taking weekends off since October. wow.
5. MFF Can't say how cool it was to do a couple panels with Nick and Lacy. They have been my mentors in the business side of the fursuit making world whether they know it or not. Loved the BC4C group shot there, enjoyed working on registration staff, didn't care for the alarm thing but loved the cooler weather. MFF will always be my favorite con as it was my first attended in 2000.
PRODUCTION
For 2013, I completed 48 projects for customers including 21 full suits, 16 partials, 8 head only commissions and 3 various for hands and feet.
This year, BC4C completed projects for 55 customers including
29 full suits
8 partial suits
6 head only commissions
3 body commissions
10 orders for hands/feet
can't believe I made 86 heads in two years.
GOALS
Goals made a year ago for 2014
1. Get out of the house more.
I did once or twice more. I will continue to work on that.
2. Work Smarter, Not Harder.
After hiring two people and working with one other to sub out work on bodies, the smartness has arrived.
3. Improve my work.
I have made changes but will continue to make more changes to make our products and fit as good as they can be.
4. New suits for Thor and I.
Well.... Thor got Fram the lion. Im still pondering on a new one for myself. Perhaps a return of Velkrotiger.
Goals for 2015.
Lets just keep the same ones intact. cept lets go for 60 heads this year. Now that heads are all I do, I can do 5 a month. no problem.
So yah... all good things.
All of this is not possible without my awesome supporters... my customers.
Thank all of you so much. 2015 is completely going to rock.
