Emma Vieceli Art Gallery

So, tomorrow Pud and I head into London town with with Fehed for what looks set to be a rather fun evening in lead-up to Bristol.

Jamie McKelvie’s Suburban Glamour gets its trade release tomorrow, and he’ll be at Forbidden Planet signing between 6 and 7pm. It also happens to be his birthday, so if you go and see him there, make sure to say happy birthday and embarrass him. ^_~
From there we all mooch over to a drinking establishment for what will hopefully be a spiffy evening with spiffy people.

Then, the next day, waving a fond farewell to Pud and Fehed, Jamie and I drag our sorry asses to the station to board the train for Bristol and the comic expo weekend - wooot!
I don’t have my own table this time, but you can catch me at various points in the day between:
SelfMadehero, Tokyopop, ImagineFX, the bar.
And if you’re a panels fan, then come wave a pom pom at me in the Manga to mainstream panel with David Hind at 1pm on Sunday, and the infamous Hypotheticals at 5pm on the Saturday. More details at the Bristol site, linked above.

Back on Sunday night and head down in work until Thursday brings with it the Media launch of the DFC, can’t wait for that partay, daaaahling. ^_^

So, busy week or so ahead…and some work flung in too. ^_^

So, tonight - it being Saturday and my week’s work done, I decided to take a break from my work by…..well, doing exactly the same thing - only for myself ^_^

yes folks - Dragon Heir liiiiives! haha. Poor baby.

I’m now up to page 7 of issue 7…I’m going to TRY and get issue 7 out for October MCM Expo. Finding time and motivation to do comicking in my time off from comicking has proved harder than I thought…but I really enjoyed tonight. Even the toning…kind of. God I need a toner! haha.

Here are a couple of highlights from tonight’s session:

This took SOOOOOO long and wasn’t referenced, but somehow the lack of referencing made me all the more pleased when I felt the pose come together….and don’t worry, they’re just training! haha.

Yay - cuteness. I’m so happy being able to finally draw these two interacting - can’t let Ella and Protus have all the fun

Expect a proper update soon as Bristol Comic Expo is round the corner! ^_^

Well, despite my careful planning in not making an announcement on my site just yet, it seems some nice soul has updated my wikipedia page with this info already (presumably someone on my LJ) - haha - so I guess I may as well go ahead and announce here

Why did the above CBR page interest me? Well, the first thing to catch my eye was the rotating banner at the top - that image seems to be haunting me at the moment, but it’s one I’m proud of so I don’t mind. Yep, eV is getting some publicity, which is wonderful. Remember, I didn’t draw the interiors, Alfa Robbi is the comic’s actual artist, but it’s great to see my work (and Annette Kwok’s colours) being used like this.

Anyways, the ad was a bonus, as it’s the bit below it that I went to the site for.
Here’s the actual link for you:

CLICK FOR THE FULL STORY OF TORI AMOS’S COMIC BOOK TATTOO

I can now announce that I am one of the lucky artists to be featured in this amazing book! As some of you know, Tori Amos has been a huge inspiration to me throughout my life. It was her that made me start writing music way back when….so that I’m now able to take one of her songs and portray it (or an element of it) in a short comic is just incredible. I’m so utterly grateful to Rantz Hoseley and the team - not to mention Tori herself! - for inviting me on board this one. ^_^

If you are on my email contacts list, there is a chance you will have received two spam emails from me today. I am now aware of this and am running scans as we speak. As these came from my gmail account and not from my PC itself, I’m stumped as to what happened and have been assured that it was probably a one-off. Either way, my apologies.

Ah, sunshine. Spring is here, spring is here. Life is skittles and life is beer. 10 points for telling me who that is ^_~
So, what do I have to report? A few fun bits.

1. I have been playing a large amount of Phoenix Wright recently, it resulted yesterday in the need to draw my favourite character. huzzah ^_^

2. Comic News Insider, a New York-based podcast, recently named Hamlet as one of their Top 3 titles in episide #134 of the show. Jolly nice of them.
3. Neo Magazine featured me in their artist’s showcase this month - again, jolly nice of them.

That is all from me for now. Signing out, world!
