Mushi, mushu, Everyone! I’m so sorry for not getting to people’s sites! I’ve been very busy with work and the graphic design project for the art festival this weekend. I’m finally done with the brochure! Yesssss. It drove me nuts because they kept on changing things and saying, “oh wait, can you add this and can you add that” argh! Don’t they realize that every time I have to “add” something, I have to completely re-do the composition and page lay-out to fit new stuff in? I wish they could have figured out everything they needed PRIOR to me completing a page. But finally, that’s done, the t-shirt designs are done, posters are done, and ads are done. *wipes forehead*

Since I did the graphic art for the festival I get a free spot in the show and they had the artist meet & greet thingy tonight. It was interesting meeting the other artists. Many came up to me to ask questions because I’m the youngest person there so I guess they see me as a beacon of hope of possibly making a professional artist of myself. Lol! I was cornered by 4 artists at one point and they were asking how much I charge for my artwork and when I told them, they all said I was way under priced. They said with my quality of art I should be charging $50 an hour for my photorealism pieces! Holy flippin’ hell! They said that they were professional enough and that I shouldn’t be selling myself for any less then that. O_o I think $50 an hour would be great, but I think even I’d feel bad charging that much. But yeah, each artist only had one piece at this show but the big show is Sunday and I plan on having both my anime and photorealism there. I’ve already met a few people who said they had people they wanted me to talk to since they wanted advice on both photorealism and anime….those two don’t often go hand-in-hand but I like doing both!

So, I have to pick up some things tomorrow and I need to work on my drawing for SessLover18 and I’m also going to do a doujinshi for that fan manga contest and I’m working on my OC’s for my manga. So many projects, so little time.
