So I have been working on the website- changed up the layout for now and I've added a Graphic Design section to the Gallery. I moved my Photo Gallery under the Artist Bio section because it's all random stuff that isn't really part of my work XD since I am not a photographer. It's more just fun things I do and experience.

I hope winter will be non-fatal this year to North Carolina, since it's already freezing here, it's kind of hard to want to go out- so I've been trying to be productive. I've got a ton of commission work I need to work on and I will post those when they are done :3

I also won the Art to Wear Graphic Design Contest, so I posted the beginnings of that under there. I need to back-log some old Purple Sky work there as well whenever I get a chance. So just look for updates here and there.

Here's a piece that I'm working on and trying to finish by the end of December! Look for more alice work from me in the near future :3

 Keep warm! ♥

See you all at Nekocon!!!! I hope it'll be fun :D it's the end of the year!!!
And I'd also like to say-- Congradulations to America!!! Obama will be our next president!!! X3
I also added a Trinity Blood fanart to the gallery and a Final Fantasy VII Commission.

So I know I haven't updated here in a while, but Anime USA was fun :D and nostalgic. There's only one con left to go this year-- in November, Nekocon. I posted one new piece in the Gallery and a few new photos in the Photo Gallery. I am finally graduating in December! Yey! So I will be able to dedicate more time and energy into my work. So I hope to increase the amount of updates on here as well as just in general doing more work and better work for you all :3

Please let me know of any cons going on around the east coast next year because I'd like to expand the number of events I attend in the coming year, assuming that the recession doesn't become a kill-buzz for conventions.

Thanks for the continued support by many of you as always and I hope everyone has a great halloween!!!

So the last two shows of the year for me are Anime USA in Arlington, VA, and Nekocon in Hampton, VA! Please come out and hang out with me and all the other artists! I'd like to have some new artwork to feature, definitely at Nekocon, but only maybe for Anime USA! I will be sharing a booth at Anime USA with Kathy Yang and with Bryan Turner at Nekocon! Please also, if you can, go see Dir en grey live at Rams Head Live the Monday following Nekocon! OR see them on the Saturday of Nekocon in Atlanta! Yey support Diru!

If anything else, please enjoy the halloween season! I am always very inspired around this time of year X3 so I hope to be getting more new work posted here. I am also going to be graduating in December with a Bachelor of Art + Design! Yey! So hopefully I'll be able to find a job in my field and do some awesomeness!

I will also be announcing possible work/publishing with Precious Miseries in November! Come back later for more info on this X3

*** For those of you who live in Cary/Raleigh, I will be showing my work at Pitch Gallery for Eccentrik Festival again around the end of October and I will be showing artwork from December to January at Coffee & Crepes at Crossroads Plaza!

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!
