Heading to BD Angouleme!

I’m right now putting together my portfolio of posters, sample comics, and business cards in preparation for my 6 hour train ride to Angouleme tomorrow.  It’s the biggest annual comics event in Europe, and this is the first time I’ve ever been able to attend! =) Since my artwork is already taking up most of the space in my small suitcase, and my clothes are taking up the other half, I decided against taking my laptop with me. It’ll be a lot safer while traveling through the Paris train station, which I have had some unfortunate experiences in. If I can, I’ll update from my host family’s computer, or on Twitter via my iPod Touch if I get any wireless. Otherwise, i might disappear for a few days, but fear not! I’ll be sure to return with photos and stories. ;D

I’m really looking forward to also meeting with other SCAD students, since the Sequential Art major of my college is having an offcampus trip to the same event!

For now, thanks for being patient with the late updates, I’m doing the best with everything that’s going on right now to keep working on the next pages.  Love you all, and see you again in a few days! =)

BD Angouleme

Hello dear readers! This is really a long shot, but I must ask, because even with my most crazy random requests, you guys have always jumped in with valuable help.

As you might have read earlier, I have been preparing for the last half a year to meet editors at BD Angouleme, the biggest comics convention in Europe.  My plans are to pitch both Sister Claire and Nightingale to editors and try to get them officially published.

Unfortunately, at the last minute, the guys who were in charge of the hotel booking have had all sorts of horrible things happen to them… one of my friends got really bad healthy issues, and another had a car drive right into the side of his house (for the second time this YEAR.) Needless to say, keeping in contact with them has become almost impossible and I’m not sure they will be attending at all. While my heart really goes out to them for these issues, I am also now stuck in a troublesome situation myself. It’s impossible to find a hotel in Angouleme at this point! D:

Are ANY of my readers going to/living in Angouleme between the 27th and the 30th of January?

If you have booked a hotel, I wouldn’t mind sleeping on the floor of your room. If you’re driving, we could carpool, and I’ll pay my share of the gas (although I think I can still buy train tickets at this point, I’ll can settle for leaving way early and arriving way late).

I know it’s really late to be asking this, but I thought I’d throw it out there just in case.   If you know anyone who IS going… please ask them if they can take one more tag along. I’m very well-behaved and will pay my share of everything.   Thanks in advance guys. <3
