I am nailing down my Wonder Con schedule. I should be there Friday afternoon and all of Saturday, not sure about Sunday. I will not have my own table - rather, I will be hanging around the Prism Comics booth. They have Picnic on the Moon, Disconnect, and Flesh Games for sale but no prints this time around. I will be doing a signing there, also, the time of which I will update soon!
This is the panel I’m participating in: “The Bad and The Bold: Pushing the Boundaries with LGBT Characters” Room 211AB. Friday, 6:30-7:30pm! Proudly brought to you by the letter B, if you didn’t already know. :>
So looks like I will be going to Wonder Con even though it moved to Anaheim this year. I was invited to participate on a panel about LGBT characters in comics (woo!) Well it’s really more specific than that but I’ll update with more info closer to the date. It’s the weekend of March 16-18th.
I found a new reception job in the city, which I am stoked about. I told one of my bosses and her response was:
We knew we were safe when you were applying to jobs in your field… but when we heard you were applying to veterinary reception jobs and thought, “uh oh…”
I don’t think she meant it to be an insult, but yes, “my field” means anything having to do with art.
If I think about it logically, my life makes sense: I was torn as a child between working with animals or doing art, and now I do both, and on my own terms. I have stable employment and am self-reliant. I do only art projects that interest me and that I find fun to do. Yet from the tone of voice and what folks say to me, I get the impression that people think there is only one option to pick. Either I must be desperate to finally get into “my field” because nothing else could make me happy, or I am now finally working in the field I wanted and should go back to school to study what I am really interested in. Perplexing.
Thanks muchly! And now I know how this question/answer thingie works, so I doubly appreciate the welcome. :3
Hi Everyone! So I’m hopping the Tumblr train… Woo! I think this will make it easier for me to stay caught up with friends and artists and easier for tumblr fans to follow me. I will still keep tweeting, facebooking, deviantarting, and updating my Wordpress blog. :) And since this is my first post, it fits I link the first page of Acrobats in over a month!
