Barely Hanging On

We are waiting for our flights in Chicago and let me tell you what, it is freakin' hilarious.  I have had one hour of sleep and we are watching Oprah narrate an animal show on the Discovery channel.  I haven't laughed this hard since the Hangover...any who, here are some more bits of fun from our featured artist of the month the Franchize.

More Art and a heart to heart with a Twi-hard

In the past week I have been preparing for the epic moment of going abroad for 10 days in the lovely Tokyo, Japan!  That's right, I didn't stutter, I am headed to Tokyo!  Not only will I be there for one of the most exciting conventions in the history of the planet, the Tokyo International Anime Fair but I will be reporting live from the event and getting paid for it! Oh yeah, that's right...are you jealous?  Well you should be and even if you aren't that is ok because I will be attending the Ghibli Museum, Otome Way and plenty of other attractions such as Tokyo Disney, The Imperial Palace and Electric City!


Now that I have the Tokyo news out of the way as you will notice, this is a lovely piece of art by our featured artist of the month the Franchize!  Aw Yeah, it's Rogue bitches!!


The next bit of news saddens me deeply and I tell you this with a heavy heart, the most unthinkable has happened...I warned everyone, I tried to tell them this would happen, but noooo, no one would listen.  It's just a harmless piece written for teenage girls, let them have their fun...well now look what their fun has wrought upon the world.

To whom this may concern:
This movie was a complete waste and I feel that it offends ALL Twilight Fans around the world, that including myself. For one, it was a COMPLETE remaking of the Wolf Pack from the Twilight Saga: New Moon. It gives the werewolves a bad name and makes them look like some deformed mutation of a rabid dog. I actually started to like werewolves after seeing Jacob Black and all his awesomeness on the big screen at the movies. That was until I saw your crappy remake of what you call to be a "were wolf". I don't see how you live with yourself for making it the way you did. If I made this movie, I would be ashamed to even admit that I owned it. How can a werewolf be killed with a silver bullet? Better yet, have you saw the transformation of the man that is "supposed" to be the wolf? He sits in some chair and his entire body turns in to some mutated freak. If you would watch the transformation of Jacob Black, (Taylor Lautner) he doesn't come close to looking as fake, cheap and or mutated as the wolf man. 

You tell me, who looks to be the better werewolf. Your stupid Wolf Movie didn't even make the top Movie for the charts;
Valentines Day WITH TAYLOR Lautner! Get that this is MY oppinion and I felt I wanted to express it because I saw that your email was on your site. I wanted to let you know this is what i thought of the wolf man that sucks. FREAKIN LAUTNER DID!  
The Poser of who could never be even if they tried : " Aka : Rabid poser Werewolf  "The Wolf Man"
OR My favorite: Taylor Daniel Lautner aka Jacob Black

Now do you see what happens when you encourage stupidity?  This is the ultimate, most horrible, very bad day.  Why on earth would this girl think that Stephanie Meyers invented the HISTORY OF WEREWOLVES!!!  I wish that this could be forwarded to Mrs. Stephanie Meyers to let her know that she has ripped a hole in the fabric of the universe and that tards every where think she invented werewolves.  Then she should write a public apology to everyone who isn't stupid, mainly all the people who hate her books.

Neil Gaiman...wait whaaa??

More art from the featured artist of the month: the Franchize!  His art work is amazing and this cover art proves it!

OK peeps, here's the skinny.  I know he is huge and even though I haven't read his stuff, from the whispers on the grapevine it's pretty amazing.  Neil Gaiman is coming to C2E2!!  Here is the official post I recieved today.

This is amazing stuff and if you were on the fence about going to this convention hopefully this will cement you decision!

Check out all ticket info at C2E2 official site if this is something of interest!


Neil Gaiman, the award-winning author of novels, films, and comics including the epoch-changing graphic novel series The Sandman, will take the stage for a benefit appearance on behalf of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund at C2E2. An "Evening with Neil Gaiman", a paid, ticketed event, will take place on Saturday night, April 17 at 7 PM in the Arie Crown Theater at McCormick Place in Chicago, IL. 100% of the proceeds will go to benefit the First Amendment legal work of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund.
 In the last ten years, Mr. Gaiman's published such books as American Gods, Coraline, and The Graveyard Book. He's made movies and operas. He even started keeping a blog. A generation has grown up who have not seen an evening with Neil Gaiman -- until now.
The "Evening with Neil Gaiman" will be Mr. Gaiman's only public appearance at C2E2. The event will begin at 7 PM with doors opening at 6:30. Tickets will be available both to C2E2 badge holders as well as the general public. (Tickets to C2E2 are not necessary to attend the CBLDF's "Evening with Neil Gaiman", however different pricing applies.)

Featured Artist of the Month

Late in the game once again but don't worry I have big things coming that I know won't let you down!

Here is our new featured artist of the month... 
The Franchize

Aw Yeah, he is the man and when you see his work I am sure you will agree!  He also has his own blog here on blog spot so make sure you check it out! http://thefranchizelive.blogspot.com
He has some amazing sketch cards he did (I lurve the Starfire!!) and he is also drawing the Last Son of Krypton so make sure you definitely read that! Not too shabby of a book if I do say so myself!

Any way, enough prattling on here is what you really want, art baby!

 

  

Hey there Mr. J

My boyfriend detests Harley Quinn but I truly love her and although some fan boys get a little wound up about her *cough* Kevin Smith *cough* I will love the demented romance that goes on between the Joker and his flexible partner in crime, Ms. Harley Quinn!

This lovely piece was drawn by none other than our feature artist of the month! Give her some snaps and if you click on the article's title you can hop on over to her deviant art page, ask for a commission of your very own. I know she'd appreciate it! Kudos Peng Peng! We love your work!

Oi! Super Busy!

Alright, it has been a few days since my last post because mainly I have two jobs right now so I can make some monies for Christmas gifts and I am going to Japan in March and one can never be too safe about having some extra money for things like that!

I hope everyone has been enjoying the art so far, I must say when I go to conventions it is one of my favorite things to do! Artist alley, or what my boyfriend likes to call it, the place that money will travel to but never return from. I can't help it! Since I can not draw to save my life, I have no choice but to look at people who have the talent, if I also ask them to draw a commission for me every now and then well, sue me!

Here, for your enjoyment is more art by our art guru Birdiebo! You can get commissions from her at http://birdiebo.deviantart.com.

Alright, as your host of this terrific blog, I have decided that I want lots and lots of art decorating the pages. Every month we will be asking all talented artisans to step forward and show us what you got. This featured artist will be able to post however many masterpieces they like, with links to let you know a little more about them.

I think it is a given that our first featured artist should be none other than Birdiebo! Her article regarding fan art really got me thinking and everyone out there should know what good fan art looks like:

She really is very talented and I know I am fortunate to have her as the resident art guru! Let's give miss Birdiebo some snaps and I will have some updated sketches all week long!
