Get ready for Anime Conji 2012, woo hoooooo~
Here are some promotional flyers done for the web/Facebook. This year’s theme is “Saga & the Matsuri.” All artwork is drawn by the talented (and adorable ;_; ) Deanna <3 Multiple pinwheels of death, freezes, and crashes later, Photoshop finally cooperated and I just finished these up. Enjoy!
This was my 3rd year attending Anime Expo and 2nd year as an Artist Alley participant. This is also my first time being a sponsored artist! *_* I was there on behalf of Anime Conji alongside Venus and Deanna: SO COOL. Our table was situated at the very end of the 2nd aisle: B-64. Tons of traffic kept coming through: we kept getting bombarded! That was definitely a good thing considering I got to meet tons of people.
Badge pickup was the best thing ever. Since we were part of Artist Alley and checked in beforehand, we just had to wait about 10-15 minutes on Day 0 before actually picking up our badges. Definitely a lot better than waiting 3+ hours in line for our badges.
We celebrated Day 0 with a trip to Castle BBQ (lol a B grade AYCE BBQ restaurant) for Jennice’s birthday. $10 AYCE Korean BBQ: BEST THING EVER. I can’t even recall how much brisket we ate! I hope we didn’t anger the workers because we definitely ordered a lot of brisket, LOL.
By the way, this post is extremely photo-intensive. LET’S GOOOO AFTER THE CUT.
One of many prints that will be up for sale at Anime Conji. Which one is your favorite Eevee evolution? Or do you like Eevee by itself?
Onward to part 2 of my AX recap! As you can see, by Saturday, our beloved Mudkip collection has grown tenfold 
Hit the break for more coverage:
Packing up for Anime Expo right now! Last year was my first year attending (where I only spent one day at the convention, haha). I didn’t think I’d fall through with a joint idea of actually participating in Artist Alley this year *_*; Hopefully all will be well with my experience there. We’ll see what happens.
Here’s another map of where table E18 will be. Find me, Venus, and r3nka there!
I’ll also be attending the Indecent Otaku Comedy Show and the Danny Choo x Fakku LA CGM Night. I’m not too sure if I’m going to any other panels, but if you have Twitter, you can follow me there.
I’ll be heading out to Los Angeles for Day 0 tomorrow afternoon. July hasn’t even begun and I can tell it’s already going to be a hectic month! Anime Expo this weekend, starting my new job after I get back from AX, and then SDCC a couple of weeks later. Yay, July!
This post’ll be another art dump, so follow the jump to see some upcoming prints for AX.
This past weekend was San Diego’s first-ever Anime convention: Anime Conji! The convention was held at the Doubletree Club Hotel off of Hotel Circle, not to be confused with the Doubletree Hotel near Hazard Center (which I thought was the venue at first). This was my first time at a first-year convention and for a small convention, I think it did well. Venus and I had our first Artist Alley experience and had no clue what to expect. Note to self for upcoming conventions: book a hotel room. It makes commuting so much easier, especially since the both of us have a hard time getting up early ;_; (more…)
Long time no blog! I didn’t realize I’d take this long of a hiatus from blogging, but hey. That’s what happens. I’m 6 weeks away from graduating and about to brace myself for my first Artist Alley appearance at San Diego’s 1st ever Anime Conji this weekend! Please visit Venus and I at tables 7 & 8! Behind the jump are some prints I’ll be selling at Anime Conji. I’ll also be doing in-house commissions so if you find yourself there, please help a starving college student, kthx.
Preview night + 4 days of Con = exhaustion and a lighter wallet. 4 day passes were $75 this year. They’re jumping up to $100 next year! How I wish I was still a kid and get in with a child’s 4 day pass. Crowds, toys, freebies, and a huge sensory overload: that’s what Con’s all about.
Larry Bird and Earvin “Magic” Johnson are two of the greatest players in NBA history. When The Game Was Ours takes a look into the most important era that shaped the way we now experience professional basketball.
Ever have that day where you want to relax like you’re in a cafe? Well, the album Acoustic Latte by Every Little Thing is the next best thing!
The Quiz Show 2 will take you on a journey full of twists and turns. This show holds absolutely nothing back.
Before Elvis was the King of Rock ‘N Roll, he was a struggling musician. He was just like any other guitar man of the day but people say there was something… special about him.
Since 1999, Thrice has been pushing the boundaries of their music. The band announced going on a “long break from being a full-time band.” Since their farewell tour is off and running, I’d like to take a sentimental look at one of the bands I grew up with.
