Hey everyone! I'm trying to get a bit of new work up while I have a few days left of freedom from school T_T! But it's my last semester at the NCSU College of Design and I will be graduating finally in December! Woo-hoo!

The next con up is Dragon-con! I'm definitely looking forward to being back. I will be next to David Wong in the dealers area. So please come see me! I look forward to seeing some faces from last year and a ton of new faces!

After that I will be heading off to the NYAF with Paint Pixel Productions, Anime USA with Asian Chaos, and Nekocon next to Paint Pixel again X3 I hope to see everyone at one of these before the year lets out into 2009. So please come!!!

As always, I'm open for commissions, just contact me via the contact page and I will get back to you right away. Thanks for everyone's continuing support and I'm really happy that more and more people have come to see and enjoy my work. I love you all very much! Thank you!

San Diego Comic-con

I am looking forward to being at Comic-con this year. I have never been to a convention on the west coast, so this will be a fun adventure. I hope to have lots of fun and hopefully my artwork will be well-received. I know there are a TON of amazing artists heading out to that one, so I'm excited to just see everyone else's awesome work T_T Look for me there if you are going to be there! I'll be in the dealers room with Shadowstar Games Inc. See you all ^_~

Otakon LOVE!

Man, I LOVE Otakon :3 I can't wait to see a ton of the awesome-est people ever! I have to say it is one of the cons I have the most fun at! I will be located in Table Island M with the company of Fatpuppy, Paint Pixel, RIP, Kathy Yang, and Bob Goodwin! Please come by!!!

UPCOMING CONS!

So look for more artwork coming into the galleries!

Oh Animazement, one of my favorite cons of the year~ I'm running the Artists Alley again this year and I hope that all of our artists are just as happy and excited as I am! I'll be bringing my best and hopefully have a lot of new stuff to look at! I'm so behind on artwork T_T But I'll persevere to get it done. So please come! Come to the Friday night Dance and the Jrock Panel on Saturday! I'll be there!

NCSU Art to Wear Show Hey everybody! I'll be working with Maria Juri in designing and constructing a line of clothing for the NC State University Art to Wear fashion show! I'm doing much of the designing and Maria will be helping me construct. I'll be posting up a section for this soon! And I hope some of you can come out and watch the show on April 10th at 8:30PM at the Court of the Carolinas on campus.

Katsucon 2008! I'm looking forward to coming to Katsucon again and having lots of fun at the only winter con that I can get to! Please stop by our table, I'll be sharing with Paint Pixel Productions, Annie Hill! Who is awesome and amazing! So come hang out with us and take a look at my work!

First off! Welcome to Deathful.net, the humble abode of Iris Chen's artwork!

It's almost a new year and I'm ready to meet lots of new people and hopefully do lots of amazingly cool things this coming year! A few things on my list are to work on:

+ Charm Fairies for Shadowstar Games Inc.

+ Art for an Online Video Game with Ludoko Studios

And of course I always put a list of conventions I'll hopefully be attending out for everyone to see! Hopefully I will be coming to your town soon! I want to meet as many people as I can and I'm always SUPER thankful about having met EVERYONE that I get the chance to meet! You all are SO supportive and so awesome that I could hug you all! So please keep up your encouragement and I'll keep up my end of the bargain and continue to make better and better work for you.

I've given Deathful.net a face-lift! Enjoy! It may get some tinkering here and there with the issues that come up-- but I'll get all the bugs out one day! 

I'm looking forward to Nekocon this coming weekend! I hope to see a lot of people there and hopefully gain some new support ;3 But I'm definitely looking forward to Anime USA
(I haven't attended since the con first started) and seeing Back-on! It'll be awesome. And later in early December I'll be attending the New York Anime Festival. Which I am looking forward to like crazy waoh. It definitely seems to be a big deal and something worth getting excited over! I hope to see a lot of people I've talked with before at all of these cons and I'm definitely looking forward to meeting new people. So I'll see you all around!

I'm also announcing my work on an online game around December/January. I'll be doing the artwork/concept work for the entire game :D So look for tid-bits and sneak peaks of that coming soon!
