**UPDATE December 18th, 2009**

And so after getting plane tickets/hotel for Mega-Con 2010, X-Mas presents, ordering more copies of Sherlock doujinshi, and donating $$ to a realtive in need, I am in dire stress to save enough money as soon as possible to get my kitty spaded (see oragange kitty in webcam photo).
The photo is from a few months ago, and she is 7 months old now and is nearing her first 'heat' and I must get her spaded.
I barely have enough for surgery (I am using my last funds I save for veternarian bills), so I am taking a small chance that I could sell a painting (or miraculously 2), so I may have a little something for traveling, art supplies, books for reference, making prints/ashcans (mini-booklets), and things as vet and medical bills for the future.

I am not ready to take commissions. That would be a better solution to this lack of funds, but I cannot do so. I am already having a hard time working on Incubus and any other projects at all. Borderline-personality disorder, post traumatic stress disorder, and chronic depression make a good mix of emotional instability and prevent me from working as productivly as I would like.
And after some behavrial therapy at the nuthouse made me decide not to inflict self-harm anymore, dealing with all this psychological turmoil without the instant stress relief of a blade, I find it difficult to concentrate and care about anything anymore. My art is all I have, and even that is not a strong enough tether to make me help myself out of the swamp of melacholy--that is why I am not taking commissions to collect funds--in condition I'm in now I won't have any commitment to complete them.

So, my only option is to pathetically solicitate some art I have already completed over the year.
I feel like I am holding a yard sale of crappy stuff that people don't need, but I might as well take a chance.
List of Paintings are here:

And if anyone knows me, I am not at all expecting anything on the horizen of a positive outcome.
Holey crap, I always get realy down when I get sick (a bad sinus infection this time).

Okey-dokey, looks like it is now confirmed that I will be attending Megacon 2010. Here is some info:

I got the flight and hotel reservations, X-Mas presents for my parents ('cause they expect it XD), more copies of Sherlock doijinshi, and now I am pretty much broke for 2010 XD

So I was given a complimentary Artist Alley table at Mega-con, which was really generous of them (thank you so much!), so I got 8 ft. to work with--I'll have the doujinshi available, prints, Weapons of Mass Destruction comicbook, postcards, original ink drawings and watercolor paintings, and some ashcans of Bara images, yaay!

Here is a link to the prints I have available to those interested:

I do not do well at all when it comes to conventions besides Yaoi-Con (and even that goes only so-so or sucks sometimes). But I will still try to go to conventions anyway next year.

I would like to find out how some future 2010 anime/comic conventions might go okay for me and may decide to attend.
I went to, but did not do well, at these comventions, and will not go to again:

Ohio Con (Ohio)
Fanime (San Jose, CA)
Anime Expo (LA)

But I would like to know how these conventions listed below are for fans and what you think of the particular convention overall. Please do not list any that are not listed:

Katsucon--Feb. 12-14 (Washington DC)
Megacon--March 12-14 (Orlando, FL)(This one is now a go)
Sakura Con--April 2-4th (Seattle, WA).
A-kon--June (Texas)

Just give an opinion of which convention has the better artist alley for a mangaka as myself since I have never been to any of cons listed above.
Asking for opions is all I can think of to hopefully prevent a waste of time like Anime Expo >_<;;;
Plus, I would like to try another convention other than Yaoi-Con next year (whic I will attend.
Thank very much for your time!

I just finished 2 pages of the files that went missing a few weeks ago. Yay, I think. I don't think I will redo the Neko-newletter though---as much as I am mad that the files of those are gone, the news I had in it are so dang old, I might as well work on a fresh one XD. I might redo the short silly INCUBUS comic I had wanted to attach to it though (sigh...this will suck becasue I have a habit of adding things to dialogue that is not written in the script).

Besides that, for those interested:

Some fresh copies of the Sherlock doujinshi have arrived today to replenish my supply, so if you would like to order the doujinshi, please go to this link to download the order form:

[link]


Please read over the order form carefully of all the instructions.
Only 3 copies maximum per order.

However, if you live outside of the US, I will take your order by email,
I WILL ONLY TAKE PAYPAL IF THAT IS YOUR ONLY WAY TO SEND PAYMENT.
Also, a $3 Paypal fee is applied for Overseas Paypal payments.
Only Foreign orders can email me as it would take too long to recieve thier order by snail mail from thier home.


To those living outside the US:
International money orders are recommended, but checks should do also. No Euro (cash) if possible.

Postage overseas is $13. Postage to canada is $11.
Not until you recive the item do you then mail off your payment. I feel more secure knowing you recieved the item first before sending payment, so I do not end up with your payment while you accidenly do not get the book.

Again, for US orders, I will take check or money order or carefully hidden cash (no coins please).

I will only take PAYPAL if it is your only sole way of purchasing, I only make exceptions then, and a US $2 Paypal fee is applied.

Thanks again so very much!
