Hey everyone!
Let me just start off by saying it has been a CRAZY weekend. I had an absolute blast at Anime Midwest and the only thing I would have changed would have been to move Chuck Huber's panel after the AA closed so I could have gone. Absolute love for that man!
I would like to thank everyone who dropped by the table to purchase something, chat, ask for an interview (? I was surprised too!) and let me coo over your amazing cosplays.
Had a great time chatting with fellow artists 
and my sister 
who had her own table for the first time at this convention! Also got to chat with the lovely shopowners of Wirefly Jewelry, Hyrulian Jess and Brandon, whose Perler Bead shop name I cannot recall off the top of my head. I also purchased the prettiest bracelet from a chainmain jewelry vendor and the cutest Van Fanel card!

As always, I have that raffle option for customers to have a chance to win something - this convention was $21 worth of free merchandise. I am happy to announce that this year's winner is: Emily B. Congrats! I'll be shooting you an email shortly to work out the details!
On another note, I'm sorry for being so absent from DA lately. My real life job has gotten a bit crazy and it's taking up most of my free time. I am hoping to get back to drawing some chibis from other series soon (but that does mean I have to watch/read them!) so it might be a while. On the dockett for sure are DBZ (which I have already watched!), Durarara!, Magical Girl Madoka and probably one or two more that were suggested at Midwest but my brain is too fried to remember at the moment. If you have any suggestions on popular series you might like to see, please comment! Can't promise anything, but always worth a look 
Might eventually try and get some FF or Kingdom Hearts too; had a few ask about that!

And now I'm heading back to the "real" job and getting started by reading a bunch of police reports; always a great way to start a Monday! I hope you all have a fabulous week and thank you again for everyone who came by the table at Anime Midwest!

I'm glad to hear you had a good time!
