Long day at the Round Up Centre, but such a blast. I ended up going to the annual Calgary Comic Expo with Alex and met up with Andre and Jason once there. I also ran into my wonderful friend Don who I love so much and his beautiful wife Augusta nearer to the end of the day. Good thing to because they only had passes for Saturday.

So, met Jewel Staite. I went along with Alex and she’s adorable and friendly and personable, totally lovely woman and far better as a blonde. Outside of that I caught glimpses of Edward Olmos, and Kandyse McClure and managed to get a sneaky picture of Sean Astin. Lots of people, lots of crowds but I was really there for the artists.

I showed my finished book to Stephen Silver and Sean Galloway. Both artists who I follow quite extensively online as I’m a huge fan of their respective styles. Both have, on occasion, slipped into my work, Silver more notably. Stephen said some lovely things about it as he flipped through it, but Sean’s reaction just made me day entirely. He flipped through it and with every page he got more excited telling me how much he loved it. He asked who did the layouts and everything, how long it took, etc. and was surprised to find out that I did everything minus the actual printing and it took just under 4 months. He smiled brightly and handed it back saying that I should pitch it to Nickleodean and see what they say. Animation studios may love the character designs and such. He seemed to.

It made my day. I have been feeling so discourage lately as I’ve gotten rejected from everything I’ve tried lately. Here’s to hoping things start figuring themselves out.

No art on the blog lately, and I apologize for that. I’ll get with it again soon! The photography has been full force though thanks to my photo class. My final assignment was a party for lack of a better phrase.
