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.

Goodbye, Jan.

I'm giving a hand at trying to sell these. Pretty cheaply, actually. We'll see how that goes for me.







I'm waiting for the rainfall of March. If you lived in the Pacific Northwest, you'd know what that meant. Possibly.
