So it's been just a week out of Hero Con and it's still fresh in my memory. Always a great time reconnecting with old friends and even getting the chance to meet new ones. Went to the Friday night dinner which is where i met up with ~syrusb for the first time in person and she had that surprise sketching for me. Loved getting to meet her and talk it up over the weekend. She is a real sweetheart and just as much a smartass in person as online which didn't dissappoint. Also got to meet up with a long time friend named Sage who i have known for about 5 years now but never met. Got to see Red Gren get his gift from Justice drawn by my good buddy ~imagesbyalex and see the look on his face too lol. It was perfect.

Saturday's opening was the sneak peek into the next true expansion for City of called 'Going Rogue', looks to be awesome. Even having all the graphics updated for the newer systems in something they are calling ULTRA MODE. It's impressive trust me. Lots of great panels throughout the day and insight into certain aspects of the game and the business which is always great to attend. The Lan Room was a great place to see what the game is supposed to look like if you have an older computer. At the Banquet Saturday night i actually won something woot. Through the Raffle of course but it was a 60 day time card which really comes in handy these days lol. Then there was the costume contest which kinda pissed me off as i think =Pirate-Cashoo should have at least placed, she didn't and got an honorable mention but i was proud of her for getting up there. Lots of great pics came out of her wearing that great costume

Sunday was more Panels and a great surprise at the end for the certain members of the community that helped make the Con that much better. =david-nakayama was there throughout the weekend handing out free sketches from a raffle system, i tried but just couldn't get one again! ONE DAY I WILL HAVE A NAKAYAMA!!! Mark my words

All in all it was awesome! I had a great time and already looking forward to next years. There were a lot of pictures taken but i don't know how to insert them hee without it ruining the CSS for this journal....


Then this past weekend i got to welcome my Sassy home after a month of her being gone. So kinda been away and unavailable since then. Sooo happy to have her back!

So i am gearing up for another round of HeroCon fun. This year they are putting it on for 2 days. Looking forward to seeing what they have in store for us this time around. Especially something that will hold our attention for 2 days lol. This year it's going to be held at the Double Tree Hotel in San Jose California.

Though i am having a bit of angst about what i'll be doing there for 3 days with just around $100 and no room as of yet, I know it'll all be ok. I can sleep in the car if need be lol.

Anyways, looking forward to meeting some new people this year including a couple artists from the COH boards, ~syrusb and =Pirate-Cashoo among others like Sage form LOJ and of course all the usual suspects. This will be the third year for our meet and greets and it seems to get better every year. Really looking forward to it. If you are reading this and plan on being there, look me up! I'll probably be with the Justice crew or with my good buddy Tremorr at the bar

So there have been a few changes to the list over on the COH boards. After a heated debate and a lot of drama. Long and short of it is that Local Artists on the Network listing for COH get their own section. Plus i have added a 'Sales and Deals' section for global and a 'Sales and Deals' section for the local talent.

So all that has happened is that the list expanded. Just want you guys to know and keep bringing me those Sales and/or deals ya see out there. Also please keep me updated on your sales and deals if i have them listed below.

I believe i have all the replies back in now for the mass note i sent out so i will be updating the DA lsit accordingly. Thanks for the support after all this time. CA is nearing it's 2 year anniversary

Heya guys, been a while huh? I am just getting back into the swing of things after yet another long absence from being online. I had a run in with Swine Flu and it took me out of commission for quite a while there. Back to 100% now though and trying to get things updated including my online obligations. I hope everyone reading this has avoided the Swine Flu and have been healthy. I was kinda meh about it when i first heard about it. Sounded like media hype but i can tell you from experience, it isn't something to take lightly.

Anyways on to the good stuff. I have a couple of pieces to submit so after all this time these pieces cheered me up and of course i wanna share.

OK i finally got the commissionable artists list updated both here and on the coh fanart boards. If you are an artist in the list this concerns you because i want to make sure it has your approval. Please go to this [link] and check your entry. What i have done is copy all the art onto a photobucket account named "commissionableartists" and posted all the links into that thread. The account is set to private so no one can go into it except to see the pics through the thumbs. That way i mimic the style we have here on DA. If this format is not ok with you please let me know and i will switch it back to links for your entry.

Apologies go out to cric, 7th-seal and wogule for being soo late to respond and get ya listed but i have ya there now. I would appreciate if there are any updates in your commission rates or choice of pics to represent you that you let me know soon so i can edit it in both places.

At the moment the list is down on Champions Online as the post was deleted. However i am working on updating that list and the one on COHGuru to keep the Network going.

If you have any questions about your listing please don't hesitate to ask me and I will respond as quickly as i get em! Hope the new COH update is suitable for all our artists and if you are a potential client i would recommend browsing the COH list as i have researched all the latest rates where i could and everything is up to date as of the date this journal is posted. Happy hunting

Yup, it's that time of the year again and just by chance i am going to be able to make it yet again this year! So if you happen to be going for either day or the Friday night meet up, please let me know. Would love to meet up with anyone going

Yeah i got the game and made up a version of TA in there. I am honestly not that impressed with it at the moment but i am holding out hope that it gets better. They have a lot of kinks to work out but there are certainly good points to it. Like the hero creator. Been having fun with it. I have a subscription for the game until December but so far COH remains the supreme hero MMO for this artwhore

If you play CO look me up and lets run a bit!

So you guys have fun there and make sure to take lots of pics for me!

So i've been kinda out of the loop for a while now. Lots going on in my life right now so i was lurking mostly on all the sites i usually browse and am social in. Maybe the exception of Facebook but definitely neglecting COH and DA these days. I just wanted to pop in and say i'm fine if a bit busy. Got something new from John Becaro as a gift from my good friend Dark Kerse though. Hows everyone been?

I was always a fan of the mans performance and his talent as a musician. I never really had a take on the child abuse charges only to say that his settling out for the first case was a measure of admission of guilt. What i want to remember him for is what he brought to us as a culture. He was more than an Icon. Though i don't know quite what else to name it other then the title he gave himself "The King Of Pop". Earlier in his career he made huge strides for humanitarian support from musicians being the author to "We are the World". He made MTV a success and introduced music videos as an art form to the world. He was a perfectionist and had THE greatest Album in history. No one has ever topped his record sells before or since. He is a permanent fixture in pop cultures conscious and will remain there throughout history.

I am a bit shocked by it honestly.

May you find some peace in death that you could never find or achieve in life. RIP MJ!

Early this morning it was reported that Farrah Fawcett had lost her fight to cancer at the age of 62. This has been a very public battle for her and i think we were all ready for it to happen. She was certainly an icon all on her own and though MJ's death has made her death old news she deserves some measure of remembrance as well. I think at least 3 out of 4 male friends of mine had that poster on their wall growing up. She will certainly be missed.
