Out of the 12 monthly images, only 2 have been released before, all others are brand new and shot exclusively for the calendar. None of the images will be available as a print or poster, you will only be able to see them in the calendar.

This took a while to compile but I have a solid list of all the event I'm traveling to this year, up until September. More will be added as I confirm them, and the shows past Dragoncon will be updated in a few months. This list is long enough for now.

If you're curious whether or not I'll be at a convention near you, this should provide all the answers. I look forward to all of them and to meeting lots of new friends :)

I am both happy and perplexed that December is already upon us. This year flew by but at the same time so much had happened in 2011 that last Christmas seemed like an eternity ago. If you know me, you know that Halloween and Christmas are my two favorite holidays. (With Dragoncon over Labor Day weekend thrown in as 3rd fave.)

I just wanted to say a general Thank You to all my watchers for being here, being interested in what I produce and giving me feedback. 99.99% of the comments are very positive and encouraging, as well as humbling. I know I should be responding more to them, but it seems repetitive to say thank you to each comment and I don't want to make it look like I'm trying to drive up the comment quantity either.

Please just know that I appreciate your feedback.

This was a pen & ink piece of Deedlit that I drew years ago.
Before cosplay I spent most of my time drawing and painting, even sustained myself for a year+ on just being an artist! Life and costume making has put things on hold for me in the art department, but hopefully in the future I'll find inspiration and time to draw again.
