Dead lines and cut offs and late nights and drinking.

Clara and I finally got the ball rolling on our book of poetry. We've been working on this since high school let out in 2006, but a path is a path and we are on it, baby.

We plan to make a run of 30 prints for the first edition. The focus is less about sell and more about the process and, well alright, a little bit about a profit. I thought about getting a table for Portland Zine Symposium come August 2011 to push a second edition plus some other literary thingies, but I want to put it off until after Anime Expo. I need to see how traumatic the experience is, I guess, hahahaha. But mini zines will be earmarked and plotted before then in a just in case scenario.

Publishing dates for untitled (as of yet) book: February 15, 2011.

I'm very excited, but am doing very badly juggling various projects at once. I get less done when I try to multi-task, but am very bad at keeping to one thing at a time.

Anime Expo: July 1-4th.
I have absolutely nothing for that.

I do plan to make a collection of

• large stickers
• bookmarks
• large posters
• artist trading cards
• digital 4x6 postcards
  
• hopefully a mini-comic with my friend, Stephanie.
• fanart zines + mini cimic zines
  

Everything but the postcards will be handmade, so I need to figure out a routine where I can push past art blocks and disinterest. I've also been studying up on photo-editing, photography, and digital slrs to get some free-lance work while I'm there for cosplay photo-ops. It's a little hectic in a sense that it's all on me to get it done and how I want it. All on my shoulders. It is grand.
