School is going okay. Though I should be doing my homework right now rather than writing this journal. Anyway!

I've decided to throw my name into the hat, as it were, and sell prints at the conventions that happen here in Atlanta. You'd probably be surprised at how wide the complete artwork to posted online ratio is. I finish a lot of things that never make it here on dA so... whoops. I have encouraging friends and there are times when I agree with them. Probably because of my low expectations I won't be too disappointed regardless of the financial outcome; I'm looking for the experience. There's so much planning to be done!

Otherwise, classes seem to be okay. When I can get to them. Did ya hear? Atlanta flooded, thus trapping me where I lived (safe and dry, mind you) but with no way to get out my city short of flying. And there are still areas that are gonna take a while to cover.

Oh muh gawd I should do my homework. raaaaah. hungry.

AWA Wrap Up
~~~~~~~~~~~
I had an absolute blast this year! I didn't cosplay a particularly discernible character but I had cat ears so.... cat girl!~ Went with some cool people from past/current classes and just had a bitchin' time! And for once, I had money! And omg. Spent it hard. Prolly bite me in the ass later!~ Most of the artists had business cards that linked back to dA and when I get home, if I remember, I'll post them here!~ I did buy some prints from non-dA artists which are bitching and I even got some sweet deals on Sunday!~ Yaaay Sunday haggling!

Cool Artists on dA whom I either met or had the pleasure of seeing their work:

<--- I bought some stuff for myself, then my sister saw it so I bought her some too.



<--- super nice and friendly!!! I have her prints on my desk. And I intend to commission her; probably in another day or two. I need to make better refs. >=\

NOW GO CHECK THEM OUT. KTHNX.
