YET ANOTHER AB UPDATE!

So, it ends up :iconfoxorian: can't got to AB this year, which means I am all on my lonesome this year.  Ah well, I'll just find awesome cosplayers to sit on the extra space. :P

Well, see you there!

See you on the flip side~

To all of you Manga and Anime lovers out there,

In light of recent events, Japan has been struggling.  The death toll is high, and eveyone's heart is broken for those who have been struck by this tragedy.   What I have to pass on next, to me at least, represents the next wave of destruction.  Before I get into this, I need to clarify at the core, this has nothing to do with Anime and Manga.  If this were any other mass ban, I would be just as horrified. Don't get me wrong, I love it death but I'm more concerned about the absolute restriction of media that this represents.  When a culture starts restricting its media to this degree, bad times are ahead.  Think the book burnings of the Dark Ages.

Tokyo Manga and Anime Ban

I am appalled by this.  I love media.  Morally, I know that not all media is good media, and there are a lot of questions raised by the sheer amount of it that the current generation is being exposed to through TV, the internet, Magazines, Comics, etc., but this is not how you handle the situation.  Banning the material isn't going to stop its influence.  This Ban is going to kill an entire Sub-Culture that has greatly influenced Art, Video Games, Movies, almost everything of the current generation not only in Japan, but around the world.  Personally my life would be so different without the influence of Anime and Manga.  It was one of the catalysts to get me really into the nitty gritty of art, not to mention its how I became connected with most of my friends now.  

I'm in shock. My mind still hasn't processed the Natural Distaters in Japan, and now this Cultural one?

This is going to have deep ramifications, mark my words.

P.S.
Commissions for Japan are still on.  They will stay on for a long, long time.

EDIT
So after a lot of thought and researching, I'm opening Donation Commissions.

If anyone would like to Donate money to help with Disaster Relief, I'm supporting Direct Relief International.  Any money donated would be lovely, and I'll do a commission for anyone who decides to donate.  100% of proceeds will be donated.  Let me know through a Note or Comment.  Email works too.

My Heart and Prayers to the Suffering in Japan, and Hawaii.
Stay Strong.

EDIT2
So Guys, I found this through auroreblackcat
Its Gorilla Artfare and they're doing an Art Auction. Anyone can enter, and all proceeds are being donated to relief efforts in Japan.

Artists are invited to submit pieces of art for sale. Anyone can submit and there will be various auction sales throughout several weeks.
There will be an exhibition/auction sale in the famous Parisian gallery Arludik, and at the end an artbook will be published. All benefits from the auctions and the artbook sales will go to Give2Asia
They are still setting things up, you will find more information on the above link soon.

I'm going to be prepping something for this now.  I hope you do too.
/EDIT

Hey chicks and dudes,

So I should make a more 'official' AnimeBoston announcement shouldn't I?

*ahem*

I'm going to AnimeBoston 2011~!  This is exciting news! I'll be sharing a table with :iconlzee: What's more exciting is that my table assignment is 70 abc row S, which means that I'm next to the lovely :iconsarahforde:.  What this also means is that my long time friend of all sorts of awesome, :iconbelovedseasons: is just a stone's throw away.  What does this mean for you? It means you now know where to find me, and I'm going to be a happy artist the whole weekend while I'm chained to the table.  :D  I do have a neighbor on the other side, but in all honesty, I have no idea who they are.  If anyone figures it out, could you let me know?  Their link on the AB website is not helpful at all. >.>;

You can follow what I'm going to be producing for AnimeBoston here.

See you on the flip side~

Hey guys.

I haven't been on dA in a while.  Half due to busy times, and half due to my current hatred of dA.

I randomly decided to log back on today and was like "Shit son! That's a lot of messages!"

So yea.

I'm also going to AB this year.  Tables are awesome.  Chillaxing.

Yup.

Guess what guys?   Remember those days of using the search bar to go through dA's archives for all the crazy things that are hidden on this site? You know, al of those art works that never quite made it to the front page but are still really awesome?  All those stock photos for you to use.

They better now be within the first 1000 hits or you're not seeing them anymore! :D
