Um yeah, I don't really update this thing anymore do I? Loss of interest, loss of new things to be excited about, and the fact that so many people aren't on themselves it just isn't keeping my interest. Plus, I'm on so many networks now it's hard to keep up, and LJ likes to fall into the cracks.

I do have a facebook. I don't update it a lot, but you can find me here. http://www.facebook.com/Elemental.Sight

I am addicted to Tumblr, it's kindof become my daily distraction - not quite a blog but full of shiny things. http://elementalsight.tumblr.com/

I also kindof went and all of Homestuck. Yeah, it's a thing. I am head over heels in love with it - not only as a comic, but as a fandom. I am blown away by how fun and good these people are. So my Tumblr has a lot of that, as well as photos and I'm working on lighting diagrams as well.

Life wise, I'm busy. Very busy. I have commissions and wedding photos and work and mum and between all the juggling I don't have a lot of free time anymore. I'm incredibly sad at the summer just disappearing on me, but that's life. *shrug* Next con will almost 100% be Youma, just finalizing details this week.

I'm really not checking LJ frequently, so if you need to get a hold of me, send me a msg here, email me, or poke me on FB.

That's about it? If you're a Homestuck Fan we're doing a music video at the end of the month to LGFAUD around High Park and areas. Make a costume and join in?

I'm also looking for a place to use as a staging area for getting people together, but it needs to be near/on the subway line/really easy to get to. If you don't mind me invading your space for a couple of hours I'd love you forever/buy you dinner?


Annnnd that's about it. I hope y'all are doing well!

Just because I think I TOTALLY failed to post about it here-

The cosplay picnic will be next weekend, on Saturday the 25th. Raindate the 26th.

Details here.

I will be doing private shoots if you're interested. $30 flat, up to four people, 30-60 minutes depending on group size/poseability/location.

Ok peoples. For those of you who were looking to go to the Discworld Con in July (8-11) we will have space in the car and hotel for 1 person, possibly two if you're packing light. We are looking hopefully for someone who can share driving duties.

IS anyone serious about coming along? We need a pretty certain confirmation asap.

So guys. A few options:

June 11th or 12th. Which is a month away.

June 45-26, which is pride week

July 2-3, which is the week before the Discworld con, so I may not make it.



Any opinions? I'm leaning towards the 11th myself, since it won't be so insanely hot.

I haven't updated in a while about life, and haven't been in much mood to, but today was kinda special.

There were squirrels.

Around 4, mum called me downstairs and outside- where she had a box taped up. There were three young black squirrels. They'd possibly been abandoned- or had fallen out of their nest- but because they were next to a school and on a mainish road, mum decided to rescue them (after seeing one run into the road and nearly be hit by a car). They'd been out since lunchtime, and it was getting cold and starting to rain.

So I spent an hour on the phone/internet looking up what I needed to do- and make sure my mum didn't do - and that cumulated in an hour and half drive out to Keele and Sheppard and dropping the babies (five weeks) off to Wildlife Services where they'll be raised and eventually released back out into the wild.

It was both awesome, exhausting, and annoying. Heh.

Being as they were wild animals, I felt kinda unsure about photos of em (especially as two were clearly cold and shockey, and one was highly agitated) so no pics. They looked like this, but times three. XD

It did not at all go anything like this.



HATS!
If you're curious as to what I brought to the Steampunk con last weekend, I have my gallery up here. The con was a great success, and I had a lot of fun. I'd totally suggest checking it out if you're into the scene next year- and personally, I nearly SOLD OUT. Which, for a con of maybe 300 people, is FANTASTIC and makes me glee.
Sadly, all monies went to emergency dental work and a new mattress for my bed, but necessary evils!

SO! A little bit ago, an awesome spraypaint artist Joshua Moonshine (Well, originally his friend, who was buying it as a gift) contacted me about a custom mad hatter's hat.

The requests were it had to be black. He wanted 'vicious'. And he wanted a buckle on the front.
(After a half a dozen emails and texts, we managed to clarify a few more points. XD)

This is the final result. I am SO pleased with how it turned out!



( more pics under the cut!Collapse )

SO! Part of my initial panic about Anime North? Was actually a total miscommunication!

Anime NEXT rejected the Enthusiasts, because they already had a booth....
Anime North hasn't replied at all yet.


Fingers crossed, I know the MAsq Staff is REALLY gunning for us- we can make this work!

I'll be downtown tomorrow for some fabric shopping on Queen. Anyone interested in joining me?

Also, who's hitting the Keep Toronto Reading thing on Saturday?
