Heads up, Cali! I'm coming to Designer Con 2015!

So here goes! It looks like I'm gonna do it! If everything fares well, this November I will be vending at my *first* West Coast convention: Designer Con! I'm SO EXCITED! I've had my eye on Designer Con for awhile as a potential West Coast convention to attend. The art scene out there is so much up my alley, plus California in general has stolen so many of my creative friends from NYC. (I'm looking at you, DC Comics...)
 

I'm going to be sharing a booth with my pal Peter Goode Art and my husband Phil and I will be taking a much deserved vacation the rest of the week, visiting stuff like Disneyland, Universal, Little Tokyo... So many things to check out. I haven't been to LA since I was a little kid, and then it was only because my family had won a trip to Disneyland. I'm excited to go back! Plus bonus: since I'm going at the end of November I'll be getting out of NYC just when the weather has gotten shitty.

Peter Goode and his creepy awesome monster paintings.

PLEASE HELP SUPPORT ME this very expensive trip I'll be taking (I've calculated the costs of going and I kind of want to cry...)! Visit me at one of my upcoming convention appearances and buy some of my merch! Not in the area? Check out my Society 6 store! Or my Stickermule marketplace! I might even get my etsy store restocked one of these days, haha! 

Baltimore Comic Con 2014 prep!

Baltimore Comic Con 2014 is steadily approaching!! September 5th-7th at the Baltimore Convention Center! This is the first year it's a 3 day convention! How exciting! This marks my *8th* year attending conventions on a professional level!! Me and my BFF Fenny of Little Asian Sweatshop will be at Artist Alley tables 205-206! I hope to see you there! ^_^

Here's a preview of some of the *NEW STUFF* I'll have available!!

Wondy & Supey-G magnet sets! $10 for the pair!

Wondy & Supey-G mini print sets! $5!

NEW STICKERS! $5 each or 2 for $8!

Sailor Moon cameo bracelets! $15!

UTZ hearts BOH prints! $5!

New merch, sketches and a TUTORIAL!

This month I was invited by Natalie Kim to come to Frederator Studios to speak on her video podcast, It's A Draw to talk about streamlining inks in Illustrator using the LiveTrace and Pen tools. Learn professional technical terms like 'jaggedy', 'wonky' and 'just slide them around til it looks good'.

Little sketch for sanity amongst tons of work for other people. Realizing that my eventual comic featuring vampires is probably going to have a lot of night scenes, my New Year's resolution is to become better at light sources and colored shadows/highlights.

 Also got a new banner for my convention table!

 Got new stickers of my UTZ & Boh artwork on my etsy store!

 And new promo stickers I'm giving out with purchases from my etsy store and convention table!

BIG NEWS! I'll be at NYCC Artist Alley table O-13!

Thanks to the generosity of friend and fellow NYC Drink & Drawer Sarah Wooley, I will be sharing  Artist Alley table #O-13 and selling my wares ALL WEEKEND LONG of NYCC 2013 with her.
Yaaay!

And I have MORE STICKERS that I will be selling at my table. 

Miss Mary Jane sticker!

Nurse on a pill sticker!

Not going to be at NYCC? I also have my stickers available at my etsy store!

Stickers, cosplayers and progress videos! Yay!

Hey guys! Lots of random, neat stuff going on at the Paigey labs. Thought I'd share it with you!

~I got my very own cosplayer!! Super awesome cosplay chica Jennifer Rose dressed up as my Rockabilly Rogue from my X-Men redesigns (that I still want to draw more of, but alas...) at this year's Dragon*Con! She NAILED IT! I'm already plotting to steal her sweater clips. Apparently she'll be at NYCC and I really hope to get a picture or two with her- cuz OMG! :D

~Also after returning from Baltimore Comic Con I decided to reinvest my profits into some fun new merch, this time around being my first sets of full color, all weather vinyl stickers (a la Stickermule.com). So far I've got my chibi Bride of Frankenstein made and I've got my Miss Mary Jane on a pipe and my Nurse on a pill coming super-super soon in sticker form. I'm super happy with Stickermule's stickers. They look great and have this nice rubbery matte texture that's unlike any stickers I've really seen around. The prices are also reasonable, there's low minimums so you don't have to buy a BAZILLION stickers with each order and the shipping was way fast. There's a wide variety of product as well. I highly suggest them for your sticker needs.

Bride Stickers are now available on my etsy store!!

~I'm getting some of my original vellum inks of the art I did right before Baltimore Con together and have been finishing them in that weird technique I've been doing where I color them like animation cels. Here's some quick videos and process shots!

Also: haha, I'm a dork. 

…so I totally ‘ship’ Wanda Woodward from Cry-Baby with Biff Tannen from Back to the Future. I mean they’re like MADE FOR EACH OTHER. They’re both SO HOT AND SO MEAN.  Wanda could have moved to Cali after the events of Cry-Baby and met up with Hill Valley’s most loved degenerate somehow and.. and…. Hey! Where are you going???

I'm down with OTP, YEAH YOU KNOW ME.
