We're still not certain about the whole process, but it's really hard to get listing realtor's to talk to us without one.

We're waiting for our next showing at a local coffee shop debating if a cute house in a good location/community is more important to us than an awesome house in the suburbs with no local diners or coffee shops within walkable distance.

It's nice out today, and we're both wearing shorts, it's funny how easy the winter mindset is slipping from us.

I finished the last of the art work for Kumate works yesterday, Christine's writing and my art is going to make a kick butt zine! It will be available at Anime Central this year, but if you want one and can't make it, send me an email and I'll get one for you.

The last illustration is the funniest I think, please go to DA and post a caption of what you think the characters are talking about. Here it is:
_Caption this_ Illio5 for KW by *dreamling on deviantART

and I colored the 3rd one for the inside back cover too:
Illio3 in color for back cover.

Nice weekend, finishing art and thinking about what the future will hold.

feels hopeful.

Bad things about AD.
*Getting badges took 1 hour 40 min in long line.(with all our AA gear)(Even though the con knew ahead of time everyone was for sure coming)
*No separate artist alley reg.
*Not wearing line ready shoes means I was physically in pain for last 40 min in line.
*Overfull con = claustrophobia
*Not enough comics!
*The SMELL! SO BAD.
*Having to use fabreeze, a lot.
*Convention concessions selling hot dogs + sweaty teen fans + poor ventilation = extra bad smelling con.
*Having to be escorted out of the AA during the cosplay.
*Feeling old and out of touch with anime fans who seem mostly interested in bleach and naruto and consumerism.
*Being really tired, why do cons make one so tired?!

Brand new comics from Studio Anti Thesis

Last night I helped assemble his first issue of Deverish Also. Afterwards we headed over to and 's place to finalize what we're bringing to Anime Detour.

I got a chance to see the new issue of Build Your Own Boyfriend, which also looks very snazzy. These two comics each are part of a limited run, afterward they are sold we’ll be getting new copies from Comixpress, with a page of their advertising to defray cost.

New issues of Tabloid Roulette/Merylion Factor and issue 2 of Of Two minds will also be debuting at Anime Detour. Yay!

This means we have 10 books currently for sale! How crazy is that!

After we get back from this con, we’ll be sure to put all our books into our online store at Studio Anti Thesis.com , so if you don't make the conventions we do this year you can still get awesome independent comics from us.

Woo, more than halfway done with this project. Need to try to squeeze 2-3 more illios in this week. I've been very happy with these.

Had dinner with Mom yesterday, we went down to Lazy Janes on Willy st. She'd never been there and she really liked it. It is, of course, lovely. I took some pictures with my Holga… fantastical amazing award winning pictures… with the lens cap on. :P

Still, did get a couple nice ones.
