I'll be there! \o/
Flying in on the 15th, staying just offsite from the hotel and will be there for the week.
Hopin' to meet and make friends, old and new! And I'll be donning these bad boys.
See you there!

I'll be there! Wahay!
Arriving on the 3rd, leaving very, very early on the 6th.
Bring on the toons and tunes!
Hope to see ye there. : D

Hi all. Just writing to say I won't be able to go to Eurofurence this year. (I'm absolutely gutted, but alas and alack....)

To those who are going, I wish you all a fantastic time. Stay safe and have fun! Tell everyone I said hi!
I expect you to tell me allll about it afterwards; photos, vids, everything! :P

Take care now.

Who are you?
I'm Willie. Most of ye know me here as Birone.

What days are you be there?
I'll be in Berlin from Tuesday 19th, departing Monday 25th.
I'll be staying in the motelplusBerlin, rooming with  ottselpaw
This is our first con, so take it easy on us!

How can I find you at the con?
I'll be the short, blond-haired, pale-faced Irish guy donning these badges! (http://sfw.furaffinity.net/view/12642144/)

Can I talk to you?
Sure! We can talk about toons, tunes and tongues!

Speaking of which, what languages do you speak?
English is my mothertongue. I do speak some Irish and German; I'm a bit out of practice since secondary school, but hey, I'd love a chance to improve on them!

Can we do a sketchbook art trade?
Yes, certainly! I always love an art trade!

Are there any events you will attend?
I'll most likely wing it, just go with the flow. Oh and definitely the Pawpet Show! Pretty excited for that, haha!

Anything else?
Like I said already, this'll be my first con. I'd love to meet up with pals, my fave artists and make new friends!

Safe travels and see you there!

I'm not leaving FA, but for those who are interested, here are other places to find me.

and also Tumblr (http://birone.tumblr.com/), and Twitter (https://twitter.com/Birone321).

I know I don't often write journals, but I've noticed yesterday that I've reached 100 watchers. Of course, you gotta celebrate them milestones!
I just want to write this to say a big thanks to ye all. I'm honoured and humbled that you enjoy my art and my company, be it watching, commenting, faving, or having the craic and banter whilst online and such.
Big love to ye all! <3 :D
And hope the rest of the week goes well for you too!

So I actually had this for a decent bit but was never really active on it. Hope to change that.

If any of ye have an account there too, do give me a buzz; I'd love to follow ya there too! :)

Thanks

Hello everyone! Hope you're all keeping well.

I know I'm not normally the journalling-type, but I thought I'd let ye know what's going on right now.

Good news: I finished the last of my college exams yesterday. Wahay! Four years of college done! Bring on the holidays and drawin'!
Now what's the story, Rory? What's the plan, Stan? What's the agenda, Brenda?

I'm trying my hand at getting into animation, that's what!

There's a course for digital art and animation in the art school near where I live. It's a new course; only been ratified this year.

Now, I was never really taught art formally, so to help prepare, I'm applying for a year-long course that will help me build a decent portfolio geared towards the animation course. My interview happened yesterday, and I feel it went quite well.

I've also applied to a three week summer course on animation too. I'm looking forward to that.

So this leads to my question for you all: what books on animation, cartoons &c. do you recommend?
So far I just have:
- Cartoon Animation by Preston Blair
- The Animator's Survival Kit by Richard Williams
- How to Draw Cartoon Animals by Christopher Hart
- Understanding Comics and Making Comics by Scott McCloud

Thanks all! Look forward to hearing your recommendations.
