TALKS

SMASH - Industry Panel
I don't know why I'm qualified to talk in this panel when i got the invitation, but I remembered I worked in a gaming company for 2 years so I guess I'll talk about that.

SMASH - Storytelling Panel
Again, I don't know why I'm qualified to talk about this. Being the editor of generation doesn't mean you can panel. I mean, I WANT SOMEONE TO TEACH ME HOW TO DO PANELS. I do acknowledge I'm good at 4-comas and squeezing a lot of storyline into a definite amount of pages with begginning, middle and an ending but that's about it. I can write stories, but that can't be taught. The purpose of a storytelling panel is to find someone TECHNICALLY GOOD AT STORYTELLING. While I think I can WRITE STORIES, my STORY-TELLING (i.e.Execution) sucks. I can't do camera angles, I can't build up tension. I can't create mood. I only have a very straight forward way of story telling that's built for comedy but nothing else :/ Michael li is a far better candidate for this panel (points at his direction)

I think if I give a watercolour demo a lot more ppl will be interested

YOUNG WRITER'S FESTIVAL - Manga Workshop
Er.... again....I'm going to teach people how to make manga when I want someone to teach me how to make manga T__T The co-ordinator of this program found me through Generation 06 actually. so this is a good motive for people to SUBMIT TO GENERATION haha.

Again I want to say there're heaps of people out there they can do a better EXECUTION of story idea than me, but it seems that the potential students for this workshop wrote a GAG MANGA....o___0....So I guess there is sth I can offer

CONVENTIONS

26/26 July - AVCon
I haven't booked ticket, I haven't book accomodation and it's coming in 2 weeks....lemme die wooooo

Generation 09 will be available there.

8/9 August - SMASH
I said I'd launch the new APH doujinshi but sorry it won't happen. I chose commissions over APH. *sniff* If I didn't already have so much commissions on my hand I might be able to finish it buttttt..... D:
I need to tell SMASH staff to change my banner to the Generation one.....sometime >__> (lazy)

Generation 09 will be available there, and hopefully..some APH cards.....yeah.....

21/23 August- Manifest
Manifest gave me a booth because I'm the official artist *__* (dance)
but Only Generation 09 will be there.............ARRRGGGHH I feel I at least sould print something just to make use of all the table money I've already invested in cons this year to sell Generation 09. At least I should compile my old original comic or sth.

Anyway. Too busy, i don't even have time to finish all my commissions (including 12 rego badges due today T__T)

COMMISSIONS
Goal for 2009: $10000
Current Amount: $7200

My goal is to reach $10000 by end of this year. Yay *joy*
The plan of making money purely from Drawing by the end of this year couldn't have been more successful. Being Manifest's official Artist Is a great help. I've done a set of manga caricatures for the Australian Netball Team and is still designing their mascot, and I'm about to work on a novel cover that can potentially turn into a series as well. I've also tried out PaleoArt for Kenny. I really have to thank all my clients for making my dreams come true, and I have to thank kenny to give me the opportunity to explore other fields as well.
