Spur-of-the-moment fanart of Kusuriuri-san from the anime Mononoke. Despite my girlification of his looks, he really is quite pants-wettingly hot :D!
Preview:
( I'd take Kusuriuri-san even without the spoonful of sugar... )

Well, 2007 is in its final days, and so I've been making little attempts here and there at organizing my house so as to start off 2008 not drowned in trash and the trappings of the past several years.
*Koff* Right.
In any case, while going through the piles of stuff heaped on my table, I ran across an article in the local newspaper talking about the sudden surge of interest in the college world in comics and cartooning as an acceptable form of art, and how a number of colleges have already implemented formalized classes. As of this writing, my University is (sadly) not one of these schools, but it certainly gives one a feeling of optimism. At the very least, it prompted me to make an entry here.
I'm notoriously bad at record-keeping. I'm one of those people who never takes photos on vacations, rarely buys little kitschy souvenirs, and is consistently at a loss when it comes to greeting cards (do I really have to keep them indefinitely?). As an artist, I seem to commit one of the ultimate taboos of never keeping proper sketchbooks AND I also have a tendency to throw away old work (ah, I can see my professors cringing now) because AUGH, why would I want to hang on to the embarrassingly bad art of days gone by? However, I've been informed that artists should keep detailed records of their progress and 'creative process' so for the new year I am going to make a concerted effort to keep one sketchbook, or at least put dates on everything. You'll notice I'm beginning this endeavor BEFORE 2008 and I am intentionally NOT calling it my New Year's Resolution because, as we all know, New Year's Resolutions are generally EPIC FAIL.
Other thingies of interest:
-Between this and the previous entry I received my FIRST PAYCHECK for my work on the graphic novel. Happily, it arrived on the 24th, and so I pronounced it my Christmas miracle.
-Oh ho ho, this entry is not a total blargh of rambly good times! I'm 2 for 2 so far!

So I guess my intention in creating this blog is to (mostly) document my experiences as a newbie professional illustrator. I will most likely end up posting things that have nothing to do with illustrating or being professional, but I'll try to keep myself under control. We'll see how it goes.
