Well school is over(has been for a while) so I've been working and enjoying the quiet time at home. Also, I've been working on a little
project :
D! Hopefully I'll have that done soon. I have to tell you guys who much I love
Wordpress and Dreamweaver is my new best friend :
P! Want to see more about this little project? Click

I really want to go, especially to find the infamous...
or CMG as he shall be now known, for the remainder of this journal entry. For anyone who is newly watching me or just reading this, I'm sure you're asking, "who the hell is the copic marker guy?"...well...it all started in 2003, back before I knew of deviantArt, art communities or the importance of not eyeballing anatomy...So on this segment on YTV(yes I still watch the Zone, leave me alone!), I saw this guy being interviewed. He had an art supply store that sold the copics and he made the claim of being the only store in Toronto that sold them. The weekend after seeing that interview, I went with a friend and we saw him and I asked how much a package of 36 markers were and he said they were around $130...back then I had no job and a limited amount of funds. Skip to 2004, I cosplayed(as Utena of course) but only had enough money to buy two graphic novels(Utena related of course!). 2005 and 06' I didn't go, 07 I went but completely FORGOT to look for Mr. CMG. but this year...I want to find this guy...but...MY LAPTOP KEYBOARD DECIDED TO CONK OUT ON ME!!! Yeah...my enter key on the keyboard came out, and I've been told it completely needs to be replaced.
To get everything fixed, it will cost me 150 bucks. 150 that I could be using to
hunt and kill find CMG and buy some markers! Now, to be fair, my mother did go and buy me
55 prismacolor markers that I really should learn how to use(especially since I have a helpful little marker tutorial thanks to =
TwinEnigma)...but imagine, if I knew how to use the prismas and the copics, with my white paint, gelpens, cardstock and other goodies. With a little more anatomy work...I'd spam all y'all with traditional art...so I pretty much have no money. So what do I do? I could go tomorrow and window shop at the prints and work of *
shilin and =
minjii(and hope to save up for
CNAnime and any other conventions or miscellaneous events...there's a limited edition, pink psp that keeps calling my name >_>!) and meet up with a few friends, or, stay home, work on my little project, draw some anime(as the gallery has been lacking it as of late) and try and find another place that sells the copics.
Hey,
any Toronto deviants know where I can find some? CMG can't be the only person who has them! Oh yeah, anyone know where I can find some cheap Prismacolor markers? I need more fleshtones, and by fleshtones, I mean, not just peachy colours, I need some browns too...*is not a peachy colour*! Ah...decisions, decisions. So how is everyone else? Who is going to AN :3?
EDIT: Apparently, installing a new keyboard only cost $22.60, so it looks like I'm going to AN after all. CMG, I'm coming for
you!
DOUBLE EDIT: Now to buy some buy tickets, cause there's no way I'm driving all the way out to Dixon :
P!
TRIPLE EDIT: And here's what
happened!
