Overload 2015

Yet another Overload in Auckland has been done and dusted for 2015! 

It was great seeing everyone's amazing work yet again, and being able to catch up with people too~

I feel like I must worry too much every year with this, when really I just gotta keep doing art consistently haha. I was surprised I was able to get as much as I did done, with career stuff taking priority lately. Everything seemed to fall into place! It's a real blessing.

I've probably been spamming all over social media, but here's what I had for sale this year, in all its pinky glory. Thank you to everyone who made the time to look at my artwork ^o^

I bought and traded a few things too~ Was so happy to get a signed poster from Noizi Ito >3< Thanks dear boyfriend for helping me get it while I was at my table~~ 

I was most excited to get a copy of Na0h's comic book as I followed her progress of creating it via social media. I love her style!

Above: Art from Jaerika, Aiki Ame, Chloe Or Illustration, Xephia, Amey, Sharkees

Above: Art from Kimchi Kiwi, Noizi Ito, Red Tail Design, Fira (new fave artist omg), Na0h, and some artists that I forgot to collect a business card from /o\ Please tell if you know any artist's work I haven't mentioned xD

I look forward to the next event!

In the meantime, I'm planning to set up an online store in the near future.

Work, Study, OVERLOAD

Hello blog, it has been a while hasn't it?

So, I just dug myself into a deeper hole two weeks ago when I signed up for another year of Overload amongst all this PHP. Hahaha. This just means I got to be more organised!

Overload is an art event held at the ASB Stadium on 28th September 2013. It's an event where many artists (mainly of the anime/manga style) showcase and sell their artwork to the public. And this year, I'm going with my Amei-oneechan ohoho <3 Plus Range Murata is going to be a special guest, whoaaaaaa.

I feel there are many things to organise before this event, with only four months to go. If you're interested in a series and wanna request fanart, go ahead and I will think about it. I am not very sure what is popular at the moment since I haven't been catching up, so I might just go with what I like ... ie. cute japanese fashion or bunnies *shotshot*. Or go with Lunatarius' suggestions on the matter.

Lately, I haven't been up to too much. It's mostly just working, attending class, and studying. Rinse and repeat. It's great to hang out with friends once in a while to chill though ^^

*cough* I did end up wasting time one evening catching up with Once Upon a Time though. I think my feelings get out of hand when watching the series, as I involve myself too much in the story. Well, according to a friend of mine =.=. At one point, I had a raging anger towards Regina. Maybe cos she's like a symbol for the barrier that is so hard to break, no matter how much you try. Or a symbol that sometimes no matter what you do, you can't succeed. I'm totally against this matter... cos even if you can't get to the ultimate goal in a swift action, you can always get a step closer.

I totally ship Snow White and Prince Charming though. They struggle so much to fight for their love~ *cheesy* It's quite interesting how the different characters develop in accordance from their Storybrooke self vs their Fairytale self. Yes, yes spoiler free ^-^

Tonight I plan to get a stronger grasp of the combination of PHP and MySQL before class tomorrow *dies* It's quite exciting at the same time of it being intense and difficult. Having the ability to make own web systems uwahh, its magical. Thanks Codeacademy, Net Tuts and Team Treehouse for existing at this day and age =u=)/

Panic Time

I really need to get a freakin' move on with all these drawings for Overload! I feel like I have been working at super snail speed, when I know I have the potential to move fast and get all these done in one day if I really really focussed on the task at hand.

B-But its just so hard to focus sometimes! When you procrastinate, you end up doing anything and everything possible to avoid the challenge of finishing work that you need to do. Suddenly everything else starts to become more interesting and once you get going with doing all the other useless stuff, it is hard to get back to work. Why do we procrastinate anyway? I feel like it is a fear of approaching the task, because there is a chance of failure. But then again, if you don't even make a move on, you're already failing because you didn't even try! Okay, time to get this mindset going!!

Every step forward is a good thing!

The one thing that is bad is not taking any steps at all!

YES I CAN DO THIS >D

(I at least hope so)

Not long to go at all, and printing must be done Monday the latest (>m<)
