PSYCH! I LOVE IT

Sup guys.

I've been soooo tired lately. My sleep quality was just at an all-time low for the past few days, but I think last night was better. I say "think" because I had a dream in which I told someone I slept poorly, so.

Then again I also had a dream in which my cat Soda was like an inch tall, but there was a normal-sized version of her who tried to swat/squish the tiny her. So. Yeah.

It was actually COOL here last night. Thanks, rain! Or whatever weather pattern I have to thank.

I've been kind of bummed about my art lately because I (wrongly) judge its worth based on how it sells at anime conventions. It's just not possible to do that without being harsh on myself, because at a con people act very strangely with their money. For me it's not a matter of wanting to sell artwork of OCs, it's that I've developed a "strange" style that turns some con-goers off. For AnimeFest I've put a lot of my new art that you guys have seen here on DA onto laminated badges, to test the waters a little more. I do know that postcards and bookmarks are really slow sellers most of the time, so I've decided to put those on hold for a bit.

It just sucks because, say I do some art just because it's popular; it's reflected in the art itself and people don't buy it, because I didn't care about it.

But when I really do care about something, that doesn't mean it'll sell. I know I'm not the only one with this problem, it's just kind of depressing when you start measuring your personal worth based on what art sells at anime cons. Ugh.

SO WHO'S COMING TO ANIMEFEST? :3 If you haven't already told me, let me know! I'll have an artists' alley/bizarre bazaar table and I'd love to see everyone! :heart:

Don't feel bad! I love your stuff! I bought some at Oni-con this past year. :3 I wore your buttons every day!! XD And then when I left the con, I realized that I had just enough left in quarters so that I coulda bought another button, and I was sad!!! D: So, anyway, concluding my rant, I love your stuff. xD
I'm going to animefest, and I'm gonna buy a shikatema button :D

Hooray! No, I have NO clue, they may do first-come first-served again. That's what they did last year.

But if you haven't been to my booth before, just look for PINK. LOTS OF PINK. :heart:
