Still blowing my mind, but I've been accepted in getting a table at this year's Otakon!

This is a huge opportunity, but unfortunately, it means traveling to Baltimore from Florida.  It's a huge expense and currently I can not do it on my own.

I have started up a Chipin for donations to help get me there!  Donators also receive "thank you" gifts in return!

The Suncoast CGA Show is this weekend!  Punta Gorda, FL, March 31st from 11a-10p.  I will be at table A10!  If you're in the area do check it out and come say 'hi'!

Hey everyone!

Just like to give a little update on what's been going on:

If you ordered a commission from me at Megacon, I am still working on them.  I had quite a few and I didn't realize how long they would take me (lots of coloured ones and those take me a long time).  I have sent out a lot already, but if you would like further info on the status of your commission feel free to e-mail me: ahro87@gmail.com or send me a note here on dA.  I stupidly forgot to ask for folk's e-mails so I could keep you guys posted.  Live and learn I guess. XD  

Besides that, I will be attending the following cons:

Suncoast CGA Show
Punta Gorda, FL
March 31st
Table: A10

Pariahcon
Lakeland, FL
April 27-29
Table: Next to Guest Artist *echo-x

I'll be going to Metrocon as well but just for Saturday.  I'll be walking around cosplaying as America.  Metro always sells out rather quickly and I'm usually too busy investing in Mega to buy a table at Metro at the same time.  Hoping to get a table at next year's Metrocon though.

I hope everyone is doing well, and it was a pleasure meeting so many amazing people at Megacon this year!  That show just blew my mind!  Here's to hoping to run into more of you guys at later cons throughout the year!

Love ya!

So MEGACON 2012 is coming up in Feb!  I will have a table!!  Also, I do plan on having a mini 25pg comic available circling around 2 of my main characters in the trilogy I've mentioned in a few previous journal entries.  I will post the comic here on dA but I will have a hardcopy of it available at cons.  Not sure if they'll be available online just yet but we'll see how things go.  Just need to say it now so I'm more obligated to stand by that and force myself to work on it.  (Been a little obsessed with reading fanfiction for USxUk at the moment. lol)

Megacon 2012 Table: Orange 9
Feb 17-19, Orlando, FL, Orange County Convention Center

Also, I have been given a major opportunity as an artist and wannabe professional illustrator.  I met Echo Chernik ([link]) and her husband and found out they live in this tiny city of mine.  They took an interest in my work and felt I have potential so they have given me an Internship to work with them and learn!  This is a huge opportunity and I can not put to words how grateful I am to them.  <3  After graduating this past May with my Associates in Science for Computer Animation & Multimedia I really had no aspirations of seeing myself doing anything with that degree.  I am still focused on going to Ringling somehow while still balancing a full-time job but with this internship I finally see a light at the end of this tunnel.

Also, Echo will be at Megacon as well!  She will be at Pink 1 & 2!  Be sure to check out her stunning work!

Here's to a brighter future than the original one I saw previously.
