Autumn finally falls on us
First off! Some events news! (This is an entry with lots of exclamation marks!)
I'm going to be in Toronto this weekend, Sept 19-20, for the Queen Street West Art Crawl. I'm still working out the arrangements but I'm also hoping to make it to Word on the Street in Toronto the following weekend on Sept 27. I'm not sure yet if I'll be there in person, but do check out Georgia Webber and the Ganglion folks who are doing a panel from1-2pm at the Comics and Graphic Novel's tent, and perhaps pick up a copy of the zine! I will be posting my contribution online shortly after it's released :)
A little farther off on the horizon is Canzine, also in Toronto, November 1. Arabesque is debuting then, so please look out for us, and I hope to have some new material as well :)
I also want to link back to Emily Rose Farrauto's website. Emily is a designer here in Montreal and we'll be collaborating together soon on some fashion illustration. Her work hybridizes modern vintage, and she has an extensive background in costuming. Click on the following photo to check out her blog:
With all that news out of the way I can finally post some art. At risk of really outing myself as a huge nerd, I drew some fanart for my favourite japanese boy band ARASHI's 10-year anniversary. They've been a weird but encouraging obsession of mine for a while now (unique in its kind?) and have for good reasons risen to popularity as of late which has made me very happy. Ten years is a really long time~~~ What amazes me on top of just they're staying power is that they've all set themselves up to have careers after the boyband thing fizzles out. They always seem like they're having fun regardless! Anyways, enjoy!
This last image is kind of a bonus! I actually have printable versions of this and another older image so people can print them out on paper and cut around them to use as bookmarks. It's something we started making a long time ago for anime conventions, and the format has since gotten really popular, hahaha. Congratulations to ARASHI for such a long time together!
