Doughnuts are in this season.

Doughnuts are in this season.

Seriously though, I sold out of every single doughnut related item I made. Gotta restock and get ready for Baltimore Comic Con in September, plus I’m applying to two more local cons on Saturday that’ll take place this winter in NJ. Let’s hope I’m able to do this artist alley thing more often!

More Otakon Stuff!



Look at these cuties! (If anyone recognizes the cosplayers, please let me know so I can give them credit.)  It’s the lovely crosmyheart and trustinwhatwasfalloutboy, as Vanellope & Ralphie respectively. They are just so freaking adorable!

Since Wreck-It Ralph is a few years old, I don't see as many cosplayers as I used to. I know my Cosplay-sized pendants are expensive (and rightfully so, they take a lot of work to make), but if you're cosplaying Wreck-It Ralph and you stop by my table, I let you take photos with it for free. (It helps promote the item and I get some awesome shots like this.)

I'm back, and mostly alive!


Otakon was so awesome! I got to talk to so many new and interesting people about all kinds of things, I saw amazing costumes, reconnected with two of my amazingly artistic childhood friends, and sell a lot of art.

This was one of the best Artist Alleys I've seen in years. Every artist was so amazingly talented, and the products were so diverse. Sure, everyone and their mom (including me) had something Steven Universe, but that's because Rebecca Sugar is an evil genius who makes me cry with her adorable cartoons.

I sold out of:
  • My TWEWY group shot (in both the 11x17 and mini sizes) 
  • My Sailor Moon Notebooks
  • Cat Nip Pillows
  • Oops Buttons (Thank Goodness)
  • Everything using my Sailor Moon themed fabric from Spoonflower
  • Tons of my Polymer Clay Foodie Jewelry 
  • Nightmare Before Christmas Buttons & Button Packs
  • Inner and Outer Senshi Button Packs
I have so much stuff to restock before Baltimore Comic-Con in September!

I know it's kind of taboo to talk about money and earnings and stuff, but I like being open and honest, so full disclosure, I made more money last year, but I still made more than enough money to make the trip well worth it. I'll be making a bunch more Otakon and Alley-related posts, and on August 1st, I'm getting back into my daily art posts and 30-day workouts. Now that Otakon's over, I need to relax a tiny bit and recuperate. Right now I'm a raspy voiced zombie and it's nearly 3AM. I gotta get my butt into bed.

Day one of Otakon is over, and so far everything is going great! I was Cooking Mama for day one, which seemed appropriate, since I also write Sometimes Foodie. Next is summer Tora Dora uniform, but with a long sleeve shirt because the alley is freaking freezing this year!


Today is also a super long day, it'll be 10AM-11PM... I'm gonna be so dead.

Day 175: The Notebook



Another digital design entry for tonight. I've been so busy getting ready for Otakon and the Fancy Food show that I didn't have a chance to draw tonight, but I got a lot of design done!

This will be a little Sailor Moon themed spiral notebook! I think it's pretty cute, what do you think?

Day 150: Rockin’ Rose Quartz!

Crystal Jem Series : Rockin’ Rose Quartz!

I’m combining my two animated musical loves, Jem & the Holograms with Steven Universe! Here’s the first in my series. I’ll be printing these up in various forms for Otakon 2015! I’m gonna get started on the other Gem/Jem’s this week. I have a whole band to create!

Animated process under the cut!

Day 149: WIP


Working on a little Jem and the Holograms themed Steven Universe piece for Otakon 2015. Mixing two of my animated musical loves with Pink leading ladies. I am so incredibly happy about this mash-up. I'm sure it's been done before, but I'm gonna do it anyway.

Some WIP stuff for Otakon 2015

Otakon is almost here. I am freaking out!

There's still so much I want to make and do! I already have all my in-stock-stickers cut out and ready to go, I have my two sailor moon mini sheets done, I'm starting on some little notepad designs, and I am making more jewelry.

It’s fun getting back into polymer clay jewelry and charms. I made more mini fruit tart studs, some little doughnut studs, and I’m making my Princess Jelly Fish print into a few underwater themed buttons.
