3rd siting!

Its a good week! unfortunately after this week of awesome ME arts...i will be depressed when it ends. HAHA. here is the 3rd siting of art. by Colby Nelson. He drew me with my bloody stumps. Which is an inside joke of me explaining my work tools. All those who do jewelry and hand drawn animations know EXACTLY what Im talking about. Hell even complusive sketchers. Which reminds me I need to re-open my sketch blog. I have...an ABUNDANCE of posts.
I love the Noodley Zaniness of his work.

Anyway thanks to Colby's awesome art. Im going to actually make the fanart/sitings section for my DA and my Facebook. I was just saying I was going to, but i was just going to post it as awesome friend art...I didnt wanna post it as fanart/sitings...cuz that seemed so self indulged...however I have noticed other artists doing it...so its the lemming syndrome XD fallow the leader.
So HUGE thanks to Colby, Colin and Matt for the awesome work. My BFF mary was actuallyt the only person who ever drew me prior to this...and that was because we had made up adventures in la la land.

Second Siting

Hey All,

I have made my second siting in art this week. I feel special. My friend Colin Crose who was on my Blog previously in my SDCC pictures. Thanks to him and his crazy twitter convention knowledge we got into some really neat stuff. Such as the Flapjack/Adventure Time Party with Pendleton Ward and Thurop Orman. As well as the ever hilarious BLACK DYNOMITE panel.
Colin is also the Admin for the Clockwork Island webcomic community. Which as you will be premiering my Topsy Turvy webcomic as well as my little spot column of Mad Rantings. Which I have not really talked about at this point. Theres no way to discribe it. I think its just best to wait on that. Haha. Anyway, in Colin's webcomic the Horrible tales of Arthur Kats, there is a MEEE siting. As well as fellow comic artist Cesca Santa and Colin himself, and a few others Im not familiary with. Check out the page!
Im totally getting ready to shank those guys. Im the happiest mugger you will ever see. Gotta pay my student loans some how XD hahaha.
Cesca's spot amuses me greatly, I love that she is selling cigs to a kid...and im not certain but pretty sure thats Colin the crazy dude in the back.
according to Colin's tags on FB Dave Kaufman, Megan Walker, Cesca Santa, Robbot Giltron, Caroline, Colin Crose.

If anyone else throws me randomly in as a background character or just does a lil spot illustration or full on fan art drawing. PLEASE contact me with your name and attach the work. I will gladly post it on here and am actually making a "m.c. sitings" feature especially on my DA. if you have a site that you want me to link with your work I will be glad to do it as well. Its a nice way for me to show my growing popularity WHILE sneakingly feature some close friends and awesome artists. :D

Extraordinary Suprise

Today was a very cold, dark windy mothers day. I went outside to bring in the rest of my plants. When I brought my Lavender plant in, I noticed what I thought was a leaf stuck in the drainage cup. I went to pull it out. To my surprise it was LUNA MOTH. Which has become more and more endangered these last few years. I laid it out on a paper towel next to my plant in the kitchen. I wanted to take pictures of it, but my camera was at the Studio. later, it started to move! I swore it was dead. its large lime green wings started to slowly twitch and later flap. I put it in a very large jar. Here it is in the large jar...starting to flap.
I took it to my studio, So I could take some pictures of it before I released it. I wanted to release it, however the WIND is so horrible and it is so cold, that when I tried to the poor thing couldnt get any loft, it kept being smacked against trees. I went after it as it tried its might on the grass to get up, it crawled calmly onto my hand...without any fear...I put my hand with the Luna Moth back into its jar. It is currently under my Studio desk in the dark, until, the weather gets better and it is night fall. I am so worried about it. I don't want it to die. But the weather is not luna moth friendly right now. So I am putting many greens down, keeping it in a good darker place until, it is safe to release it at night.

It was harder to photograph once it really started to come back to life. So I took a video of it.



I guess you really cant spell MOTHER with out MOTH? huh.
they also say Luna moths are a symbol of spiritual transformation. Maybe thats a good sign when opening a new business and starting new artistic ventures.

Studio UPDATE

Ok everyone the latest and greatest HAS arrived.
I want to first set the record straight by saying YES I did have an art booth at Boston Comic Con this year HOWEVER the confusion was that I was planning on attending Anime Boston as well but due to coming back late from visiting family in Florida I was unable to. Believe me I feel bad about it. I do have GREAT news I recently got my Sales License and will be attending Conneticon AND *drum roll please* NEW YORK COMIC CON! YEEE
I have an art booth at both and will be selling MANY fabulous items. Also in good news, the online store FINALLY will be going up in the next few weeks! I will be posting pictures of the new STUDIO as well as a VLOG tour! the studio will be open to the public THIS MONTH! Almost all the inventory is RESTOCKED and I am fancy packaging them up now. I will post all products available on the online store. I also will be selling some new products that were not at Boston Comic Con. Such as, new jewelry designs, LUNCH BOXES, and TOYS space cat, moon cat and zefr are all being made into resin and plush figures that will be sold! I also am currently making several sculpty figures that will be going into the gallery. HEAVY and VERY OVER DUE PICTURE POSTING THIS WEEK!

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY to all the mothers out there and to all the people that are motherly figures to someone. You all know how special you are. Since I have been lacking in the photo posts late I will be sure to post many doodles and sketches and another Art Trade to make up for it until the rest is completely ready.
I would post them NOW but its 3am. and I should be getting home...so I cant get up at a good hour to make my moms special mothers day dinner. its a slow cooker
Also my very fancy animators desk and story boards will be going up this week...so everyone can finally see the studio! and so much more. im glad it FINALLY has come together. up till now it seems like all i have been is alotta talk. :D

Original Character Trade w/ Matt





Here are my friend Matt's OC's

you can view all their character stats on his Deviant Art Account: http://delta-the-storm.deviantart.com/ Or specifically here: http://delta-the-storm.deviantart.com/gallery/#Civil-War-OCT
He attended Anime Boston this year which I was originally going to attend with him but backed out of later. my b. Here is his webcomic account:http://mattman.comicgenesis.com/

Here is my adaptation of Indika left and Ayla right
He recently uploaded this pic which was his x-mas gift. later he said he will post my OC's he wants to try something new with them.
He not only added my beloved dog Reny, My old rescue man cat Franky but the newest member of my pet family DUSTBUNNEH! a very very tiny Russian Dwarf Hamster. She is so small she can fit inside a bottle cap...comfortably!
She is now the official STUDIO hamster! and yes...I later realized I have inadvertanly created the movie BOLT by having a german shepard, a black and white alley cat, and now a ham ham.
My nephew Blake who loves bolt...should be thrilled!
