OH GOD I WANT TO GO TO THE EDISON SO BADLY.

I always forget to update here T___T

( Macchina Chapter 2 Page 22 to Chapter 3 Page 2 )

Now... I have to draw and ink three comic pages this weekend. I guess it was right about the procrastination portion. XDD


(still working on the first meme entries, bear with me XDDD)

Boo. Now I'm caught up on the One Piece anime too, so I have nothing else to watch. D: There needs to be more episodes so that I may watch them, and more manga too! I wish I knew japanese so I could understand the raws.

Also, damn I suck at updating LJ with new pages.

(  Macchina: Chapter 2 Pages 15-21 )

I also have a bunch of art I need to post, but I'm dying of the sickness and need to lie down before having to go back to work in an hour.

Shipping

Each print will be shipped between two pieces of cardboard, wrapped in brown paper. Shipping day is usually Saturday (my day off). Shipping is $3 via first class mail. Priority will be $5. International will be $9 for international unregistered airmail.

Payment

I accept paypal (non-cc as I only have a personal account, so this can only be from paypal balance or bank account- I do accept e-checks but I will not get started until the payment has cleared), money order, personal check (2 weeks to clear) and well-concealed cash (at your own risk).

I redid the In the Apple tree prints and am quite pleased with the results!

Final Run: Edition of 11
I redid this print and most of them came out pretty awesome. Printed on 2ply Strathmore Vellum bristol board. I ran out of the green used for the first run, so the color is different.

In the Apple Tree silkscreen prints: Click here for sales thread


Soon, I will be putting up for sale some doll items (Extra wigs, eyes, ect) and I will be rooting through my anime figures in the attic upstairs and putting them up for sale. They have been up there for at least a year and a half. I'm totally not going to miss them.



Stupid security deposit on the electric has run me short for the month. ::shakes fist of rage::

I made a japanese stab bind book for Duckie. It came out pretty awesome. I don't remember how many pages I put in the journal. It's either hemp leaf or tortoise bind. Anyways, book cloth and scrap book paper. The pictures in the front are drawn by me of Duckie and my characters, Traian and Alastair. The long strings in the front were trimmed and tied into a bow before I gave it to her.

I also have a few more prints for sale.

"Lady Fleur" 11 X 14
My first print in Serigraphy/Silkscreen class. Speedball silkscreen acrylic on Strathmore 2ply vellum bristol board. Made using the indirect stencil method. This was done in an edition of four with two artist prints that were misregistered.

Print 1 of 4 (the best of the group)SOLD

Artist Proof : Click for Image $5

Also I will be photographing more prints for sale, which was my first project in silkscreen- indirect stencils. It came out pretty neat, but I could use the extra cashola. It's more conceptual/simple than my Cillian print, but it's 11 X 14.

( La Macchina Bellica: Chapter 2 Page 10 - Page 14 )

I printed my first run of "In the Apple Tree" on arches paper with speedball acrylic ink. Unfortunately, I had used the traditional cutting method of tearing the paper along a ruler, which made registration difficult. I've changed to using straight edged papers (cut with an exacto or paper cutter) but I'm putting up the misprints for sale. They are anywhere from 40% - 60% off what I will charge the good copies for.

Proof Edition of 9. Each print is different and priced according to the problems I encountered and how good the prints look.

Phoenix Wright spinoff featuring..... EDGEWORTH AND GUMSHOES.

YES. VERY YES. I love them both. Gumshoes is awesome. I definitely need to get this when it comes out.

Even if I am only halfway through the case 5 on the first Phoenix Wright game.

Happy Birthday to me! I am now 24! :B

( Chapter 2 Pages 4-9 )

17 hours of printing labor (and probably 3 hours of drawing the original image) and I have completed the color layers of my screen!

I'm going to use photo emulsion for the black lineart, so bear in mind this is just the color underneath.

I also discovered today that next semester (Fall 08) they are adding a Printmaking curriculum to the Art BFA degree programs. I'm definitely going to be changing my core to printmaking.

As of right now I only have 8 classes left until graduation (but at 2 a semester it will take me 2 years max) but if I change my major I will only have 7 classes left to take (since I've already taken two printmaking levels)!

I'm excited! I hope it all goes through!

One of the pages is in color- that's when I ran out of manga studio. But customer service fixed my problem, and the rest are in black and white. <3

MIAMI BOUND! <3

I'll be in Miami March 13-21! If you wanna hang, drop me a line, my parents promised me a car (not sure which one, but... one of them) so I will be able to travel! My mom reserved me Saturday night, though. Kristal has an art jam thing I want to go to, so I'm hoping mom's bingo night thing ends before it's too late... ;_;


MEME TIME:

1. Reply to this post, and I will pick three of your icons.
2. Make a post (including the meme info) and talk about the icons I chose.
3. Other people can then comment to you and make their own posts.
4. This will create a never-ending cycle of icon squee. Whoo!




1) Icon made by paxilam . Um. Totally a huge Zoro X Sanji fan. As dorky as it is, and as much as Alex will probably hate me for it, Zoro and Sanji is my OTP. (in the depths of my sketchbook, i've drawn them too).

2) Icon made by girlgamer. This icon totally made me LOL and went with my one piece theme. Sanji is my favorite character. And he makes the most retarded faces. Meeeeloooorriiinnneee~~~!! <3<3<3

3) From an LJ comic iharthdarth. It was incredibly cute and awesome and I am sad it is over. But this was one of my favorite scenes, and since I could only have 6 icons, i picked it :B

And if you ever doubted that you could get really good at art, take a look at my old stuff:
( REALLY OLD ART- 1995-1998; OH THE HORROR )

I totally didn't realize I haven't posted these pages in LJ.

I'm going to draw up something for tonight, even if I can't use manga studio since the damn reg key is missing. I hate fuckin' filler, but it's better than nothing.

Also, Drake is just TOO FURRY for y-gallery (it's the nose, but I'm not changing that to suit the mods of y-gal), so I opened a furaffinity account. If you're on it, feel free to friend me! :B

Man, I filed my taxes yesterday and I only get back $1064. Last year I got back $1800. I'm  kind of annoying, because like a douche I was hoping for more. I guess it's becuase I went to school more or something. Either way, I'm annoyed. I had big plans for that money, so I have to spend most of today redoing my finances for the next month.

I really hope DoA comes back up soon, because I could  use the money from the doll. I'm not in serious need for it, but I could definitely use it. I wanted to buy a senior delf body for Aiden and a WS DZ body for my sister's doll head. There was a girl selling one, but damned if I remember her name to PM her and get the body.

Anyways- this week's updates for Macchina. ( Chapter One Pages 12-14 )

This week I have a DOUBLE PAGE SPREAAAADD. I'm trying to figure out the logistics of how I'm going to post this page. Today and tomorrow I have to work on toning it. Oh man that's going to be take a while. But it'll  be worth it
