Postcards!

[secondlina]

So, the calendar project kinda died when me and Fanie discovered that printing custom calendars was a pretty expensive endeavor. Sigh. But the fairy tale drawings weren't lost. I decided to print them to sell at Expozine in the form of postcards instead. So that's cool. Here they are! Gotta thank Link for doing the colors while I was sick & busy & coloring other things. He's such a good boyfriend.












I think my illness has cleared up enough for me to go to work tomorrow. My voice is a bit... gone. But I work on the booklist for the website anyways. I doubt i'll need to speak to a lot of people. 



Speaking of books, I re-read today one of my favorites. "Re-Gifters" It's basically the story of a young korean martial arts enthusiast who has a bad temper and a crush that is seriously messing up her Ki. Through the book, she becomes more comfortable with herself, other students and learns that sometimes, the boy you like isn't the boy you should like. Also, she needs to win this competition. It's your basic coming-of-age teen story, but I love how it mixes cultures (she's korean, there's also a latino gang, etc), talks about money issues, history, martial arts... It's more then your basic teen boo-hoo love story. I just love it more every time I read it. I recommend it to all. :D

I've been thinking of filming myself inking lately. Need to figure out how to hook up my camera.

Tell Linkage he did an awesome job at the colors! Beautiful!!

And the postcards are really cool looking!! I love seeing your take on various fairy tales!

Thanks! :D Drawing fairy tales is like my thing now.

[snapdragon76.livejournal.com]

It's a good thing!

He's too cute. He can only be loved.

Ooh! I need to get that comic! Thank you!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

No problem.

YAY for awesome boyfriends with mad coloring skills!
Those postcards are beautiful! It's too bad you couldn't get any calenders made. But at least you got some great art out of the deal.

I saw Re-Gifters on the shelf a few years ago. I ended up passing on it because the description on the back made it seem like a generic teen boo-hoo love story. Now I want to give it a second chance.

You should. It's really one of those "better then it looks" comics. No to mention it's one of the most culturally diverse comics i've seen. EVER.

Haha, I love the Red Ridding Hood picture; gotta love little girls with sharp pointy objects. XD And Link colored these? They look really similar (I dare say identical o_o) to your coloring, wow.

And I feel stupid for asking this, but what fairytale is the first postcard picture from?

[ichiban-victory.livejournal.com]

That would be Donkeyskin. It's pretty good, if a bit weird since she runs around in....a donkey's skin!

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

He taught me a few things, which is probably why our coloring looks similar.

Post cards are a good way to go! Way back when my mom went to an art show, she couldn't afford large prints, so instead she collected a lot of post card prints. In a way, I think these smaller versions are better since you can enjoy many more pieces on a budget. Sometimes making something small and affordable is better than immense and pricey. I hope it goes well!

Good luck at work tomorrow!

Plus you can send them to friends. Share-able art!

Is that Little Red Riding Hood? It's adorable. 8D

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Yup! :D

I love the expression on Red's face. "I poke you with this. HARD."

"NOW GIVE ME CANDY WOLF BOY"

[theresomewhere.livejournal.com]

i love the details of donkeyskin's underdress, dress, and the ability to run with a lit candle :)

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

At least she's not running with scissors.

[yukinoomoni.livejournal.com]

I love those pictures!

I'm glad your illness is clearing up more. I hope it pisses off soon. You need a break =(

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Gosh, I would love a break.

[asatira.livejournal.com]

Art looks wonderful. I grinned at Red Riding Hood. Re-Gifters sounds like a good one to check out. I'll have to add it to my list.

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

You should! :D

[spankingfemme.livejournal.com]

Love the pics! Link made fantastic colors to compliment as well ;) Hope you get to feeling better soon! *hugs*

[secondlina.livejournal.com]

Thanks! I'll pass on the compliments!
