Some Good News

Sat May 30, 2009, 2:30 PM
Although it's not a job offer, I have had some nice possibilities popping up for me this week. On the art side of things, I have been asked, along with a number of other artists, to help with the artwork for one of those RPG type books, all about Steampunk. I think it's a kind of steampunk/space opera type story- I haven't received all the details yet, but will hopefully be doing about 10 images for that, all of which I hope to show you on DA. I have been practicing very hard with some new styles and ideas, so I applogise for not posting much recently, but it's all in sketchbooks or on my desk! So long as it doesn't breech any copyright or whatnot, I'll post the pics once they are done. I am very much looking forward to it, and I will hopefully get royalties. Woop!

On the writing side of things, my publisher has asked me if I want to go to The Northern Book Fair and do a signing. They'll set me up with a table and copies of my book, so I can have a chat and generally get some more exposure. Even better, I get a chance to go back to my old University! It's on Aug 16th, so, if anyone's around, please come up to Lancaster and say hi! I have also finished all my editing now and am well into writing my third book, as well as a few others. I am so busy with ideas, sometimes I don't know whether I want to read, write, draw, eat, sleep - it's all one big blur. I still desperately want a job though, and haven't given up looking... in fact I look every day for at least 2 hours, but I can't even get an interview. Oh well, at least with the artwork, it can all go towards my portfolio.

On a completely alternative theme: YAY DIVERSITY - Glad you won Britain's Got Talent.

And that's about it. Will keep you all updated, have a great weekend, enjoy the weather and eat lots of icecream.

Luff and hugs to all!

Well, as I said, it's not like I still have any money :S - I just spent what I had left on 12 micron pens... as I have a feeling I will me needing them. Oh, and I forgot to mention... I have a new uniform I must take a picture of when it's finished. I think you will like it! ;)

I haven't lost my mind - It's backed up on disk somewhere...

Shame Lancaster's so far North - are you doing any signings in the south or London? What are you signing, the Amulet of Vichalace, or the Vampire's Daughter?
I look forward to seeing more work :D
:iconzoestead:
Just Amulet of Vichalace. TVD isn't published yet lol! Although fingers crossed I can sort something out soon!

Aww, shame - I was hoping you'd just forgotten to tell us! I'm sure you'll get it published soon :)
(sorry, I don't mean to keep hassling or being a crazy fanboy, I'm just eager!)
:iconysa:
Well it's great news you got that drawing job for that book, that's so excellent! Once the ball starts rolling ppl will ask you more and more for commissions and illustrations for books etc.
On nice!!! I love to see other ppl's outfits! My dandy clothing is also often referred as a costume :( it's just what I wear. I suppose you saw some photos? They are here [link] and here [link]
no matter what ppl may think or say I am just not going to wear a t-shirt and jeans, no way XD And well the dandy clothing has brought me a lot of goodness. Do you wear those outfits as regular clothing or just as a costume? I suppose your clothing is more costume like, wow I see I am in for a talk! Look at all the blabla I just wrote XXXXD

If you want any stuff to read in the meantime, I am always looking for people to read over things I write, so if you'd be interesed, let me know. I have so many books I'm writing! I just hope they're all good!

Sadly I don't think Sheffield is quite ready for teh Dandy revolution, and I only wear my costumes for 'events'. My new costume is completely military...and I love it so much...I would share a photo but I have no blouse for it...and that would just be embarrasing without!
