Happy New Year everyone! I'm not sure who (if anyone) is still following me on here but I wanted put it on my page that I will be attending FFXIV Fanfest in Paris next month! (I will be cosplaying Tataru if I can get my costume finished)

Please let me know if you will be there, or if any of you actually play FFXIV! It'd be great to re-connect. 

I've renamed/made some new accounts that I am more active on, and if you use Discord, my handle there is gogomi#5353 so feel free to give me a poke if you wanna or invite me to a server or whatever idk o/

Thank you to all who wished me a happy birthday! I've been very inactive on dA and I haven't really been posting much here, so I appreciate your well wishes a lot -- thank you for remembering me. I'll see if I can get the motivation to come back here again.

Find me elsewhere instead!

Just as a note -- Though I didn't make it to the last MCM Expo, I will also no longer be attending this event either as a cosplayer or as an artist. I would appreciate it if you would go through and sign this petition about creating a more welcoming artist alley for crafters and artists who don't draw comics. Sadly, until this changes and MCM starts to promote fellowship between creators I don't feel it is the place for me - whether I am cosplaying or drawing, I don't feel welcome or appreciated.

I draw as a hobby, I cosplay to have fun. I'm tired of senseless competition and finger pointing. The only event I plan to attend in the UK going forward is Hyper Japan. I'll see you there!

In other news, I'm about to head off to Finland to see Sandriz for 3 weeks  
I'll be attending Tracon in September as Kurapika and Gon from Hunter x Hunter!

Unfortunately Cagepon and I didn't manage to get a comic alley table for MCM London in May (we were both on lunch breaks when sign ups went up so we were late by about half an hour ;_;; alas.) I likely won't be going as a regular customer for Various Reasons, but I may drop by outside to say hello to a few people on one of the days. Instead we're going to do our best to work towards Hyper Japan! 

In the meantime, much of my recent art is not appropriate to post here so find me on Tumblr or Instagram if you like and say hello! If it isn't obvious, I'm suddenly very into Hunter x Hunter these days! (I'm also watching Yuri Kuma Arashi, Love Live and the new Precure - !! ) 

Hope to see you guys around again soon :> 

LONDON OCTOBER MCM EXPO/COMIC CON 2014

Cagepon and I will be at MCM Expo again! We have some new merch and illustrations to share with you guys, so please come by and say hello :> 

Click here for pictures of merch and photos of us and our table last May. :'> 

I'll update this when we know what our table number/area is for this October. 

edit: MY TABLE NUMBER IS CC14!!

GORETOBER x INTOBER CHALLENGES 

As an aside, I'm taking part in Goretober and Inktober over on my Instagram. I post compilations of my drawings on Tumblr occasionally here. PLEASE NOTE: Some of the drawings can be quite upsetting (especially since this is a gore challenge) so I ask you not to click if you think you may be in any way disturbed by such content.

If I manage to get them scanned, a few of the less intense drawings may make it to our table as prints, haha.. 

I'll be going to Hyper Japan this July! Unfortunately, cagepon can't make it in person but I'll be selling her work at the table for her so please come check us out ;w; 

The setup will be similar to Expo where I'll be doing commissions as well as selling our artwork, comics and merch.

I'll also be promoting Lemon Project and giving out business cards again. 

I'll be cosplaying Gou (Free!) on Friday, Cure Princess (HachaPre) on Saturday and Ayano (Kagepro) on Sunday!
