First of all, hello to everyone who has found this page after visiting my booth at Long Beach Comic Con this past weekend! I heartily thank you for taking the time to visit me, and supporting my work! It’s people like you that really keep me in business and making fun art and comics! LBCC was a great show, and I look forward to exhibiting there again next year.

I’m excited to announce that Becky Tinker and I were interviewed byComicBookResources.com about Everstar. CBR is one of the biggest comic news blogs on the internet, so Becky and I were thrilled that they showed interest in our title. If you’d like to check it out, here’s the link.

WonderCon 2014

Do you like comics, movies, anime and sci-fi? If you do, you should come to WonderCon Anaheim this weekend, April 18-20! I’ll be at Artist Alley table AA-243 along with my booth mate and friend, Ria Art! My brand new comic, Heavenly Kibble Guardian Corgi (shown above) will debut and be available for sale there!

Heavenly Kibble Guardian Corgi is about a small corgi with a big secret: she’s a superhero that is trying to save the world! The comic is a full color, 12 page book that will be available for purchase for $5. These are a special first print run, so there are only 50 of them! They are each numbered individually on the inside front cover, so you’ll know which in the series you got! And, starting April 21st, the book will be for sale in my online store.

In addition, I’ll have quite a few prints, posters, pins, and travel coffee mugs for sale! I’ll also be offering con sketches as usual– limited to 10 slots only! If you’re wanting one, make sure to find me on Friday or early Saturday before they’re all gone. And yes– I’ll do your ponysona if you want!

My boothmate and buddy Ria Art (Alexandria Gold) will have her artwork prints, cards, pins and tote bags for sale. In addition, she’ll have her adorable miniature crocheted critter magnets, earrings, and larger crocheted stufties for sale. You can buy them individually, or in sets such as Aquatic Critters, Veggie Critters, or Safari Critters! Her stuff is heart-melting; seriously make sure you check it out!

Again, we’ll be at booth AA-243 in the Artist Alley! Saturday-only passes are sold out, but Weekend, Friday, and Sunday passes are still available. For only like $15, it’s a fun thing to do with your family this Easter weekend! Hope to see you there!

I Graduated!

Well it’s official! I just got back from San Francisco where I graduated from the Academy of Art University with a Masters in Fine Art! Congratulations to all of my classmates who graduated with me. Three long years of grueling work have paid off, and it’s time to start a new chapter of our careers as masters.

When I started this journey three years ago, I never really imagined what the end would feel like, and now that it has finally arrived I still really can’t. It’s not the end; it’s the beginning! While a great weight has been lifted from my shoulders, I’m endlessly thankful to have learned so much and met so many wonderfully talented individuals. My artwork has improved incredibly, and I now know so many people from all over the world that I never would have had a chance to know before.

Taking a risk, moving across the country, and leaving everything behind has forced me to grow in ways I would have never imagined. I’ve learned how to better set boundaries, do things for myself, manage my time, move forward towards goals, and conduct myself like a professional. I’m more independent and strong for having done it. I’ve broadened my horizons, and have become a more well-rounded individual. I figured out what it takes to make art a career and not a hobby. And although I learned a lot about art itself (history, technique, business), I think the life lesson it taught me was ultimately more important: take risks. Do Something. It might seem like a huge task, but Do It. A lot of things can be accomplished by just beginning. That’s always the hardest part.

Despite all the loans, sweat, blood, and tears, I’m glad I did it. The learning, growth, friendships, skill, and happiness far outweigh the negatives. I will never regret it, and I can’t wait to see where life takes me next!
