Texas ComicCon 2012

You know all the polymer clay charms and jewelry I made so far? I packed it all up and took it to Texas ComicCon this last weekend. I've been gearing up for it since early February, but I didn't really tell anyone (sorry guys!). This was my first con EVER so I was plenty freaked out and stressing out over the small stuff, but I got there and conquered! I had a booth selling my polymer clay charms and earrings and some superhero prints that I made (and a poster or two).

My booth on the first day

I don't care if anyone doesn't get the reference other than my siblings, I love my poster.

Special thanks to my sister for helping make all of this possible:)

I only stayed two days of the 3 to give my brother and me some free time to adventure around the city on the last day, but it was still a really successful test drive of my work. Here are some of the prints I took with me:

If you guys are wondering about the Keep Calm poster, it's a reference to a cartoon we used to watch, Big Guy and Rusty the Boy Robot.

I had tons of fun and it was an overall great experience. I'm gearing up for another possible Con in Austin just in case. I have a good amount of charms left and supplies to make more as well so I'm already leaning towards yes. Thanks a bunch, Texas ComicCon, I had a blast!

Live forever!

So today I just found out another one of my heroes has died. Ray Bradbury was pretty much the figure that solidified my love of the story and telling stories and now he's gone. To ease away the sniffles, I made a tribute to him:

I remember when my sister brought home the collection of his short stories and how I stayed up late many nights reading them. He's an amazing writer, a greater storyteller, and a visionary for the ages. I would like to thank him for the books, the characters, for helping me find my creative path and for being an inspiration for many generations. Rest in peace, Mr. Bradbury. You will always live forever.
