Hi everyone! I know I haven't been updating here much (not that I really ever do), but I have been very busy working on my final uni project. I'm actually making a New Zealand cosplay magazine and it's going to be on sale at Auckland's Armageddon Expo at the end of this month!!!

So, all you NZers out there if you could please help support and spread the word about the magazine by clicking this link www.facebook.com/pages/Cospop-… and hitting the like button (a share would be awesome too ). I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER IF YOU DO.

Many thanks

See you at Auckgeddon!

Hey kids!

So.. I went to Armageddon Expo on Monday, and for the first time entered the cosplay competition . I was cosplaying as Rima from vampire Knight. I spent so much time on my costume, but compared to many of the other entrants I felt so noob! Anyways, I ended up getting a technical award in the novice section of the competition. I was so surprised (and happy!), as I not not expecting anything. Also,my wig was apparently very convincing, as I saw a friend from uni and he was like 'did you dye your hair?' and the same thing happened when I got home and saw my flatmates. And I was like, 'no, I am still mega-orange...'

I got to meet and talk to a bunch of other cosplayers, and marvel at their costumes . Not sure if I'll be able to enter next year, as it will be my final year of uni, but I kind of want to ^_^.

As for the rest of the armageddon expo, I was kind of disappointed. I wanted to buy a bunch of manga for cheap from Madman (like I did last year), but when I got there they only had one book I wanted! So, I didn't end up buying a lot. Hmmm, what else... well, the giant pillow fight was, as always, a lot of fun to watch xD

I will be upoading pictures from the expo in the next few days

Until then, have fun and be good ^_^

Hey

Haven't done a journal for aaaages!

So, just finished fist half of semester 1 at uni. On holidays now
Don't really have much to say, just that i will try to post more art again soon.
Still come on DA often, checking my messages and stuff. I watch far too many people 0_0.
Also, the  DA April fools joke was hillarious xD, though ending up with team Jacob was kind sad .

Have fun and be good kiddies

Oh, yes and happy Easter all!

so that I could be set free.
