Seriously,

I need to stop trying to make the titles of these things funny. I'm no good at it.....

Long back from Furry Fiesta 2013, which was quite enjoyable. I enjoyed talking with people both old hats and new, and look forward to attending next year. At this time I do not know if I'll be getting a table or not, but if I do, I plan to have more ready made things to sell as opposed to just the commissions.

And speaking of commissions, as you can see below, my commission list has shrunk considerably. I'm now down to the few I got from last year's Anthrocon, and the two left overs from this year's FF. I want to get these wrapped up quickly so expect the list to be updated with in the next few weeks.

From FF 2012
* Name Unknown - Heavy snow cat - Finished
* Name Unknown - Elf girl - Finished

From AC 2012
* Cog - Not started
* Rask - Not started
* Brady - Not started

From FF 2013
* Morokite & Goji - Not started
* USBunny - Not started

Summary:

I will no longer be accepting commissions, the ones I have will be completed and delivered. I will be attending Furry Fiesta 2013, and Anthrocon 2013.

AC is now done and over with. Very exciting times were had, but now I need to focus on commissions. I'm still way behind and I've been dragging my heals, sorry for that. Here's an updated list of commissions I have to do.

I will be leaving for Anthrocon pretty soon. As with last year, I will have a table with the Illuminated Artists, which you can find at A13-A15 in the Dealers' Den. I will be offering a limited number of commissions, as well as the Banzai Sushi Shirt. I will only be at the table for a limited time. If I'm not there, then I'm likely away slaving over art while getting buzzed off of marker fumes....

Here are the times you can expect to find me in the Dealers' Den:
Friday: 12-4
Saturday: 12-6
Sunday: 12-4

Be there, or be turned into a frog by some unhappy fairies.

Posting a new entry to get people's attention.

I'm trying to get these all done before I leave for A-Kon.

Here's the current progress of my commission list:

* Asurea - Finished (not shipped yet)
* Cikea - Finished (not shipped yet)
* Ellie - Finished (not shipped yet)
* Mutt - Finished (not shipped yet)

* Redstream - Finished (Shipped)
* Redstream - Finished (Shipped)

* Daxter - In progress (inked)
* Oki Doki Coyote - In progress (sketched)
* Phaded - Not started
* Coyo - Not Started
* Name Unknown - Heavy snow cat - Not started
* Name Unknown - Elf girl - Sketched (Needs inks)

If I haven't mailed your commission out yet, and you're going to be a A-Kon this year, let me know and I'll just bring your finished piece there. That way I can hand it to you in person and everyone will have piece of mind that the Post Office won't mess it up.

Ugh,

Now that I'm not fighting a cold I can work on these commissions.

I'll be updating this entry with details of progress:

1) Asurea - Finished (not shipped yet)
2) Cikea - Finished (not shipped yet)
3) Redstream - Finished
4) Redstream - Finished
5) Daxter - Not started
6) Phaded - Not started
7) Coyo - Not Started
8) Ellie - Finished (not shipped yet)
9) Mutt - Finished (not shipped yet)
10) Oki Doki Coyote - Not started
11) Name Unknown - Heavy snow cat - Not started
12) Name Unknown - Elf girl (contact info lost) - Sketched (Needs inks)

(Gawd I'm slow..... =;.;= )

Well 2012 is here and conventions are abound! Frolicing in the convention meadows of.... well.. whatever type of meadows they frolic in....

This years line up should be quite interesting as I've added another con to the list. Right here in good ol' Austin! So without further ado, here they are in chronological order:
* Feburary 24-26th: Furry Fiesta -- Dallas, TX
* March 3-4th: STAPLE! -- Austin, TX
* June 1-3rd: A-Kon -- Dallas, TX
* June 14-17th: Anthrocon -- Pittsburgh, PA

Look forward to seeing you all there!

I am broad casting on my JTV channel for anyone who is interested.

EDIT: Apparently I mistyped the URL and it went to some random hate site. My apologies, the link is now fixed.

UPDATE: Streaming is now over, thank you for stopping by!

The first script for the revamp of the comic is in! I have reviewed it, the author has reviewed it, as have a few other people. This script is a whopping 32 pages long, so it should keep me occupied for a while yet.

This week I'm moving to a new apartment but I plan to start drawing on this thing as soon as I get settled into the new place.

For those who want to read the old comic, don't fret, they will still be available for viewing.

Its time for my quarterly laziness report! =x.x=

Comic
Has not been cancelled, it is just on hold while a rewrite is pending, hopefully with a more exciting plot. I plan to post some concept sketches on this in the future.

It has been inquired as to what the rating of the comic is and will be. The intention is to keep it around a PG or an R (at worst) level. There will be some violence, like the kind you would typically see in your average Shounen manga. (E.g. Naruto, Blue Exorcist, Fairy Tail, etc.) You might see the occasional bad word. *gasp* But it won't go beyond that. No, there won't be sex, or even explicit nudity in the comic. Sorry to disappoint, for those of you who like that sort of thing, but its just not something I'm comfortable doing.

Commissions
I still owe people some commissions. One from Furry Fiesta and one from Anthrocon. I plan to get those wrapped up soon. Some people have asked if I will take a commission out side of a con, the answer to that is yes and no. If I have the time I will. And speaking of conventions....

Conventions
2012 cons have been decided upon. As usually they will be Furry Fiesta, A-Kon, and Anthrocon. Come hell nor high water will keep me away from A-Kon next year!

Other News
Saturday's webcast let this cat out of the bag a bit sooner than I had planned, but I'll go ahead and make it semi-official at this point. I'm planning on trying my hand at making a fur suit. Keeping in mind this is my first attempt I'm sure it will be terrible beyond belief, but I'm still going to try. I have no idea if I'll get it done before A-Kon/Anthrocon, but I plan to try. For that matter, I don't even have a solid concept down yet. It's still a rough idea batting about inside my skull. I'll make some regular updates on the progress of this as I go.

Back from Anthrocon! I enjoyed myself overall, I got a few commissions and was able to meet a few new people. Somewhat ironically, I was stopped in the Baltimore airport by another fellow furry on my way back who was asking if I had attended the con; we chatted it up for a while before I had to board my plane, so it was nice getting to talk with him.

I also have made some arrangements, and will be turning over a goodly portion of the writing of my comic to a much more skilled author. Fear not though, I will still have the final say so in the scripts and will still be doing the art.

Unfortunately, as luck would have it, things at my office have gotten way out of hand and I now have to dye my hair back to some sort of simi-natural color and fly out to Chicago tomorrow. If I owe you a commission I'm sorry but this will delay me a bit. I swear I'll get to it as soon as I get back at the end of this week.

Looking forward to next year's Anthrocon!

Plans are all set, things are ready to go. Just have to pack clothing and dye my hair to an unusual color and the head off to the wild blue yonder of Pittsburgh, PA.

I will have a seat in the dealer's den this year along with  missmab and  kv1nn4. Our Jewish overlords  damaris and her husband Darkmoon, shall be making sure that the salt mines are constantly worked. The table numbers are A5 and A6. I expect there to be blood, sweat, tears, and plenty of marker fumes this weekend (so many colors..... @_@).

Hope to see you there!

So my English vacation was cut rather short after my mom fell ill and had to go to the hospital. Fortunately she's doing okay now. I did get to at least see the few sites I wanted to see there, so that was good.

Not much else to say right now, just trying to focus on doing last bit of commissions before Anthrocon.

So I'm off to England tomorrow. With luck, I won't corrupt the place too badly.

Have been scrubbed.... :(

Apparently A-Kon now conflicts with my plans to go to England, so needless to say I'm going to have to miss it again this year.

The Happy Grackle Trading Venture will be there as usual. They will have my books and I might be able to set something up to accept commissions if folks aren't unwilling to have me mail it to them.

I would have posted this sooner, but I think some con-crud was attempting a hostel take-over. I spent most of yesterday attempting to stay awake at work, and then promptly passed out after getting home!

Anyhow! I have a couple of photos from the cons and several commissions I owe people, so expect some posts to my galleries in the near future. The con was quite enjoyable and I loved getting feed back from several people.

I got an interesting request to put together some tutorials and I have been contemplating the idea of doing a live video feed of me drawing and explaining how I do X or Y. I'd very much enjoy feed back on what sorts of topics this should cover.

Just a reminder to folks. I'll be at Furry Fiesta this weekend, stop by and say hello, or... something... (Yea, I can't think of anything witty to say. *shrug* )

This year's theme is the disco infurno! So if I don't see some bell bottoms, platform shoes, and a carpet strapped to your chest I'm going to be very disappointed. =^.-=

So there are several conventions coming up. The first of which will be Furry Fiesta which is in Dallas, TX. Next up will be A-Kon, followed shortly there after by Anthrocon

A question that has been postulated to me is, "what, if any, sorts of items will [I] have at my table for sale?"

Really I hadn't given this much thought in the past. So I figure I'll pass the buck so to speak, and ask my viewers what they'd like to see. Mind you, I won't be able to get any sorts of items ready by Furry Fiesta, but hopefully I will for A-Kon and/or Anthrocon.

Last journal was only 6 moths ago.... =x.x=

Anyhow, just to throw out the obligatory Happy New Year!

And to remind folks that I'll have a table at this year's Furry Fiesta. *Throws on some Village People to get into the mood*

Okay,

With any luck I'll have another comic posted tomorrow. I also have a couple of take home commissions from  Mowser and  mits. Hope to get those knocked out in short order.

Back home from Anthrocon safe and sound. I had a table on Saturday, and my face was buried in art, trying to get it all done before I had to leave Sunday morning, so if I wasn't as chatty as usually, I apologize.

I look forward to next years, in which I will attempt to get a dealer's table there.

I'm currently in the Baltimore Airport awaiting for my next flight. Soon I shall be in Pittsburgh for Anthrocon. Hope to see you there!

I'm back safe and sound from my plane trips to and from Califur. The con was good, and I enjoyed finally meeting  missmab in person. We later when to Disney Land with  kv1nn4, and had a blast, which I hope to get photos up soon.

Next up! ANTHROCON! I intend to try and get a another comic up as well as a few new pictures to try and sell prints of. Hope to see you there!

Sitting the airport now at the gate with  KV1NN4, so the trip is go, and there's no turning back at this point.

I'm looking forward to actually getting to attend a con for once instead of working for the con, or at a table drawing my arm off....... x_x

I will have a badge that says "Kelmar" on it, generously provided by KV1NN4, and my bangs are currently dyed purple, so it shouldn't be too hard to spot me. I will also be hanging out with  missmab Assuming I'm not over shadowed by the legions of fans at her beck and call...... :X

hope to see you there, stop by and say hello! If you aren't going to Califur, then you can likely find me a Anthrocon.

As a reminder, I will not present at this year's A-Kon, though I have tentative plans to return to it in 2011. I will instead be visiting Califur. I will be primarily hanging out with  missmab, one of the guests of honor at that con, as well as  KV1NN4.

I will also be attending this year's Anthrocon.

I will not have a table at either of these cons; and I do not plan on doing any commissions for people.
