Pre-Anthrocon Stuffs

[balaa]

SO yes I will be at Anthrocon this year, providing I survive the trip to get there. I leave the house around 4 am weds and should be at the airport 6 amish..my plane leaves at noon and arrives in Pittsburg midnight weds-thurs.

I answer to: Balaa, Balaakins, Balaafluff, Ana or Anastasia..Please for the love of Alexander the Great do not call me Annie.

Do's:

Come say hi to me! I will be located in the Dealer's Den at table C-08 and bagheera will be sitting with me. Hopefully I won't be hugely shy at this con.. and if I met you before at conifur or FC please don't be alarmed if I don't remember you right away! My memory is not always great. SO feel free to introduce yourself and chances are I will remember you. To people I have met online but not in person..Pleaasee introduce yourself! Chances are I will recognize either your real name or your furry name :P.

Also do buy prints and commission me and Baggy!! I will be offering pencil toony/realism badges and a few spots for Post-con digital badges. I will also be offering sketchbook commissions as will Bagheera...so come hit us up :).

Lets see what else..don't take pictures of me unless I say it's ok. I tend to be very camera shy so if I dive under my table don't be alarmed, some poking, prodding and general annoying will bring me out (more likely than not XD).

Do invite me to breakfast/lunch/dinner/sketch parties/anything else!..I may be busy with something else but if I am not, I am always happy to hang out with new faces and get to know nice folks :).Please don't be offended if I decline, like I said I may be too busy, with commissions or other events.

DO offer meh coffee..Goodness knows I will need all I can to get through this. Patches prepare to have your Espresso machine lemauled.

If ya are an artist, do ask me for a sketch trade, I may not always have time but I'd actually like to get a chance to do more sketch trades at cons than I have at FC or Conifur.

DONT'S:

DON'T leave food or drinks on my table, I really don't want any accidents to happen. Also don't leave your things on my table unless its a sketchbook that you commissioned me for.

Please don't expect me to carry on lengthy convos..I really don't mind chatting but I may work at the same time. Don't take this as an insult, it doesn't mean I am ignoring ya in the least bit :).

Ehm don't scritch or pet me unless you are a very close friend. I am not a hugely touchy person so I may think it odd O_o. DO bug me for a hug before ya leave the con..I am getting better about hugs XD!

As for as don'ts go I think thats really it..any other don'ts are pretty obvious and need not be stated.

I hope I don't come off as scary or any such thing O_O;..if I am rude to ya..just prod me and tell me so. It is never my aim to treat anyone with disregard.

ART SHOW!

I will have roughly 20 pieces in the art show. Among those will be the originals for the Kennel Club project as well as a quite a few original pencil sketches, a few paintings and several limited edition large prints. Some of my work will be framed and I will ask winning buyers to pick up the glass after the art show closes at my dealer's table. Sorry about the inconvenicence

Hey there little fluffball!

Hope all is going well for you and yours! May you have a safe trip down and back. May you sell much art and make many new friends and have fun with all the ones you already have!

All I have to say is I am sad that I can not come to the art show. It is so much fun to get away from Real life every now and again and just hang out with friends and bug them!;3

When you get back from your trip I have a piece for you that I would like to commission you to draw for yourself! I know you will like it!

Anyhow may all go well and may you make lots of happy memories while you are there! Say hello to Brenda for me will ya and anybody else that I know. Tell them I wish them all well and that they all have a very fun time!

Take care always and may God and his angels go with you and keep you safe! ***Big, warm, friendly, hugs and nuzzles to yas!***

[dreamaria.livejournal.com]

Man, you did a LOT of art show stuff! O___O I'm having trouble finishing my 4 pieces in time! (Still working on them XD) You're going to do AWESOME =DDDDD I can't wait to see the originals in person!

I'll be sure to come say haaaay to you! ^_^ I'm sure Malaika won't be too far behind me :)

[taasla.livejournal.com]

Glee!

Be safe, and have a nice flight. Poke the people for peanuts! >:O I didn't get any on my flight to NY.

[gatcat.livejournal.com]

Dinner Sunday? :>

And HAVE A GREAT CON. Serious rock and roll with the stack of amazing arts you're bringing along.

[kkitty23.livejournal.com]

*SQUEAL* I AM SO EXCITED 8D!!!

I think I've said that a hundred times already x3

[fyregryphoness.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to hear that you will be going to Anthrocon! I hope you have a great time and sell lots of your artwork! =)

Oooh wow! Your Ithilgalad painting is going to be sold. o_o" *grabby hands* waaaaannntsss....hoooorrrssiieee....

I think you do a great job drawing wolves! :D I really love the way you did the eyes. And the otter is just too cute! I know my cousin would just melt at the sight of your picture. :)

I think your "Do's and Don'ts" list is very understandable! =D Especially the one about not leaving food/drinks at your table. Oh man...I hate to envision the horrendous mishaps that go along with that. >_>" I'd be super pissed of something happened to an original painting/drawing of mine I was trying to sell! Hours of hard work down the tubes? How wonderful. >_<

If I was going to Anthrocon, I'd offer you all the coffee you could drink! XD I myself don't like coffee, so I'd be sure to set aside some money to buy you as many cups/mugs/barrels (lol) of it that you'd need. =3

Anyway, I hope you have a fun and safe trip! And I hope you meet a lot of cool people there too. =D *hugs*

[preitas.livejournal.com]

I so wish that I could have gone to con because I know there are 3 of your pieces tha I would deffinately buy. :( You will have to post if you come back with any pieces because I will deffinately jump on them.

[nimirpard.livejournal.com]

Best of luck at the con. You've got an awful lot of awesome stuff to take with you! Hope you're feeling better and you have a safe trip!

[blaez.livejournal.com]

Yaaaayyyyy! Looking forward to seeing you there and no stealing Philip :) but you are welcome to join us for stuff XD

And remember the offer still stands if you want it *hugs* safe trip

Amazing artwork, your creativity is so free-flowing, you come up with so many neat ideas and poses so quickly! The shading on your black and white pieces really stands out and makes the characters seem so alive!

[jennykis.livejournal.com]

You go to what country\city?

[felix-carni.livejournal.com]

Hi
I hope you had a great convention.
I met you there (I commissioned a badge and bought some prints and stuff like that from you) and I hope it's ok that I friend you here on LJ.

[drawinks.livejournal.com]

I truly envy you for being able to draw both traditionally as well as digitally. I swear your traditional works are just as good, if not better than your digital art. Personally I can't use acrylics to save my life, but then again I still haven't mastered digital either. Your art has a very professional feel to it, and browsing your galleries just fills me with inspiration. Thank you for sharing. :)
