First because I need to get the ANGER OVER STUPID OUT:

Dear you,

E-mailing artist and asking for permission=/=GETTING PERMISSION. I'm all for free art, but there's a line between "enjoying art" and "abusing art" and profiting from it without permission? WAY CROSSES THAT LINE. Using fanart to make (crappy) T-shirts and sayin g "While I asked permission it's not my fault they didn't reply".

No. Just no. The logic fail...just...GAH. THIS IS WHY I STOPPED HANGING OUT WITH YOU IN HIGH SCHOOL! If I ever see any of MY art involved in your shitty merchandise there WILL BE ISSUES.

And no I will NOT buy from you to support your shitty bootleg anime store. I actually LIKE anime and wanna support it, kthnx.

Me

...:D

Other then tardlet up there, the con was AMAZING. My inner artist's ego is so petted right now from people being like "OMG AWESOME." SO many cool, wonderful beautiful people we meet and hung out with. I married some cute little Inu Yasha (...son't ask), and generally had a blast. Cake the Ninja Lilo was great, saw Davidm, hung out with Ryan, Min and Tim, and just...gah cool. We're making candy ninja chibwee's net year because he's apperantly Metro area con mascot XD

Made about $900. The same as NDK at a con half it's size. The potential for NDK is amazing if we keep building up like this :D

Yaoi panel went so so. Much smaller then NDK, and I was so not prepared cause I had to take over for Bev. Mary Sue panel was...eh. But got good feedback again from Yaoi, and talked to Jan Scott Frazier about combining forces.

Collest con moment in a con full of cool moments IDK if cool is the right word, but...IDK a better one. The coolest thing (Even above Kyle Herbert, tho he was awesome sauce) was there was a fem-Light and L, and we offered the Light (As she was trying to purchase all our Light merchandise) a Sexy No Jutsu Light badge, and made it and it was snazzy. The L saw it and wanted one, but this was latre saturday, and they were going to be gone Sunday, so Ju said she wasn't sure we could make it. They were sweeties so I offered to push it to the front and make it real quick for her, with a little warning it might look a touch rushed. So bev hunted her down to find her.

She started crying she was so thankful. A friend of their's had gotten into a car accident and was in a coma, and that's why they were rushing home, and just....having someone do that for her meant a lot I guess, and IDK. I've never been happier to be an artist then giving her that badge.

And...I got cow ears. And commissioned for a lot of Poke-girl yuri. (Even I found it cute when done)

Thats so awesome that you made that much!! I am so happy for you guys!! Your gonna make a killing at NDK I just know it! GOOD JOB!!

:D danke liebling!

L OH FUCKING L at the wonderful display of art logic. Seriously. That's an attitude you take when you're THIRTEEN. I thiiiiink I know who you're talking about. Trying to rip off other peoples work because this person's work suuuuuuxors.

tre, laaaame.

You may, her names Casey, I went to HS with her (me, her, bev and shea use to all hang out)

But yeah. Yeah. Ugh.

Yeah, I remember about to get on an elevator with you at NDK one year and she stepped out and toooooooooottally pretended you were air. Or maybe I heard about that from you, not sure.

Alls I know is she's a mostly talentless ass-face.

I think you were with me then. Yeah that's her.

And yeah. The t-shirts didn't even LOOK good. Like she just ironed on the square of art.

Lol... I feel less sorry for her being a flake than for the people who may actually be paying her for this "artwork".

If they sold any of them, they didn't sell tons. It gave me a little more faith in humanity.

The way I've seen her behave, and the Casey!horrorstories you've told me, makes me think that she would appeal to pre-prepubescent anime fans... mostly because they don't know any better. Or don't know her. Both, actually.

Yeah, but luckily they seemed to generally not buy into the stolen art at least.

Tho they did snap up all her $13 posters. They were those little plastic laminated ones I collect like crack that ususally cost me $2-$3

Tooooootal rip-off, yo.

That really makes me disgusted. People who do that just... grr.

...cow ears?

Yeah. She use to buy art from me in HS and post i to her DA as hers...glad to see things haven't changed much.

I'm ttly up for like...once you make something it's out their to enjoy, so stuff like 4chan and shit doesn't bug me. But making money off it when you didn't make it....no.

Oh! And they're like ca ears, on a head band and all...but shaped like cows with cow print.

They make me so very happy.

That's despicable. I can understand really enjoy someone's art, wishing to be able to do what they can... desiring praise or whatever else. But... if it's just a lie like that, it'd make me more sick than anything else. CONSCIENCE MUCH.

Also. C-cute *A*

Wow. That person sounds... wow. :/

Yeeeeah. I e-mailed the head of the con, but haven't gotten any reply :/
