My cut of Dean Winchester got a shit-ton of attention from women of all ages, so I thought I'd do one that would make a good printed poster, but would also feature Dean. (and Sam, of course!)

Looking at it now, on the computer, but might blend Sam's head/neck area in a bit better with black and possibly add one more grey bird at the bottom, making the entire grey area have a bit more of a circular feel.

The convention went … surprisingly well! The first four hours were a bust. I was giving serious reconsideration to my artistic paper cut career, and then BAM! Someone bought two. Then someone else bought one. And another and another! All told I sold 23 pieces!! Yay!

Now I am setting my sights higher on Comic Cons. But do you wanna know what sucks? I can't do any American ones! I've done some research, and it is illegal for me to take my artwork down to the States (I'm in Canada) and sell it. I can go down with a portfolio and get people to commission me, but I can't take and sell in one trip. grrrr

That's okay, there's still 10 or so comic conventions here in Canada, so I will make due.

In the meantime, I've done some more cuts (gotta re-stock!) and I've also tried my hand (with limited success) at paper sculpting. omg so hard!







The Scully was a re-do for someone. I brought two Mulders and only one Scully, so they paid me to make them the set. ;) And yes, I realize that the letters are crooked in the Paper View sculpture. Sadly, I didn't realize it until I was already done. grrrr. Straight lines! Who needs them?

I also made a few cuts AT the convention, but they're boxed up downstairs, so I haven't photographed them yet.

One new, one old. Well, both cuts are new, but the characters … yeah. You get it.

I have a giant crush on one of these three people, and it's not the dog or the wookie.
Serious lady-boner for John Oliver.

Smart: Check
Funny: Check

Yup. All of my criteria have been met. I'm in love. (TBH, the accent isn't required, but it's a bonus!)
Why can't I swoon over Brad Pitt like a normal person?

This show went as badly as the first one, with the added bonus if it being in a biker bar, so I had the entertainment of watching the 'real live' cast of Sons of Anarchy wandering around.

Clearly, craft shows are not my forte. Now, I'm setting my sights on the convention circuit. Horror Con is here in February, so I'll give that a try.
