...I'm just a slow updater is all!
I'de like to open up this entry by saying I just changed my mood theme to a home-made Howl's moving castle mood theme and I enjoy it very much. Horray for owning the movie and a computer that can play dvds!
Other then that, I'm proud to announce the one of Gustav Klimt's paintings (very talented modern painter...google him if you don't know him people) as just been sold to a collecteur after being lost for years (since it was taken by nazis, to be accurate.) Even better the painting (intitled "Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer") is currently the modern painting that has been sold for the higest price in history of modern art! Even more that the two latests biggest sales that were first a Picasso and, second, a Gaugain!
Considering Klimt is one of my greatests inspirations with Mucha and Bearsdley, I'm very happy about this.

And Finally, here is a few con-related pictures to prove to CERTAIN people that yes, I was there XD

I took a picture with one of the Clouds there. There was a whole lot.



There was also a guy dressed as Sailor Moon.



From the con I got these Rukia and Ichigo plushies...aw ^^



They sit! I also found a lot of fan made stuff such as a fan manga (where the main character was SUCH a rip of lina!) and fanart since there was a lot of fan stands. I even got some fan made pins and magnets, including this cute little heartless one.







I also got a t-shirt that says "Go to Jigoku and this brand new Slayers wallscroll (along with a full moon o sagashite wallscroll)



Here's a closer look of the wallscroll, just for Ichiban ^^



And finally in this array of photos, my brand new Nana bag! ^^




In resume, cons are fun, but Isa spends too much there...
Good thing some money will come in soon when i'll be done doing these god fucked advertisement contracts. Advertisement is a bitch. Why do I really wanna go in there...?
Other then that, I'm looking for drawing suggestions to fight a block.

I like the bag too, it's very spacious and practical.
I love that guy too, he's got guts!
Humm...advertisement is very "commandé" and I'm annoyed when people call me a "sellout"...however, most great artists were complete "sellouts" too since their masterpieces where at least 80% of the time orders. I don't really like people who claim they are embrasing a higher perpice and shit when they either don't know what they are talking about or just say it too look cool. I might be doing art that is not high class as hell but at least I'M happy, I can lie off it AND i'm contributing at making the current advertisement look less shitty. If advertisement really is invading us, artists should be there and help soften the blow...
I love your icon!

i find that people are calling artists 'sellouts' when the artist 1-their pieces are order (which, i afgree with you, had been orders thorought most of art history, 2- the art is really good 3- they get recognized for it and make a good living out of it... I find that it doesnt mean you're a sellout just because you sell art that pleases other people, you're just using them to get money to finance your own art :P and i agree with the softening the blow thing, some advertizing makes my eyes bleed...
and the frog is actually a teapot ^_^ the tea comes out of its mouth:P
