It's been a while since I've updated my blog but thought I'd give you guys an update on what I've been up to.
Last weekend I decided to set up a stall at Manifest with my friends Liz, Jordan and Winston (with help from my PR bf Arv) selling commissions and my Greetings from Looi card range. Although I only sold 5 cards lol, I managed to make heaps of sales through my commissions which was surprising! I haven't drawn anime since high school, so it was a real challenge for me to do portraits in anime style. I'll admit some of them weren't very anime-ish lol, but it was still really fun to draw for people under pressure. I managed to draw 39 portraits over 3 days, so I'm very happy with myself that I managed to churn them out that fast. A fear I had was that my stuff wouldn't sell that well (seeing as I don't really draw anime often) but to my surprise people still really appreciated it and were happy with the pictures they received. I was also very happy that my sign managed to get people's attention (thank you to my year working in a advertising studio!)
I think after doing Manifest it has really ignited my passion again in illustration, something which has been lacking for a really long time. Hopefully I'll be able to attend more conventions and hopefully find that signature style I have been craving for! (I'm aiming for Armageddon but we'll see)
All I have is this picture which, if you were there you probably remember passing by the Pikachu and Squirtle. My friend Jordan requested Charmander and Bulbasaur to make an appearance...
(And by the way they are in a conga line!...so many dirty people around :P)
