Anise & Cloves

Roaches roaches and more roaches... WTH is going on? I've killed 3 in the past 2 days. KS found another one and is putting roach traps all over the house. X_X;

I'm relatively okay with tiny roaches, but these are like... 1-2 inches in size and just plain nasty looking.

GROSS.

Anyhoo - we've just packed up all our merchandise for shipping to California. I can only hope we sell most of this stuff so we don't have to bring it all back. My biggest fear is that no one will like/buy our stuff and we have to ship everything back. T___T;

Just think positive.

*sigh*

Hrm... just found our calculator... forgot to pack into our shipping boxes.. >_>;; I guess I'll have to pack this into my suitcase. ^^;

Oops - a little behind this week, although our strips published as scheduled.

I had a day-long talk at Le Jardin Academy in Kailua, which is the first of many talks I will be doing this summer with KS. Although, this talk was solo - including my drive there, in which I had to battle morning traffic and the long, slippery ride on the Pali Highway.

I feel a little more confident with my driving skills, although changing lanes still gives me incredible amounts of unspeakable stress. >_>;

Icons will be coming a little later on Friday as I'm trying to get as many strips done as I humanly can before Fanime. Once we return, things are going to get SUPER busy for us, so it's in my best interest to get as far ahead as I can. ^_^;

Wednesday's Comic: A Different Point of View

Today's Comic: No Pain...NO PAIN

Yay! We survived our first craft fair!

We did better than expected on a slow Sunday event and had a good time all in all! I got to eat yummy takoyaki, KC Waffle Dogs, and chugged lots and lots of ice cold water.

It was insanely hot... I got lightly singed on my face and arms - I think my eyeballs were even scorched a little. Thankfully, the trade winds came back and pushed away a lot of the vog.

Today's strip is the last in our line of vertical strips and the official end of Volume 2! Where things go from here, you'll just have to find out!

Also, our re-print of Volume 2 will be in hand by the end of this week! I can't wait!

Busy busy busy! So much stuff to do today!

KS is sick and I can feel the start of a cold myself. Must stay hydrated. Must stay on task!

Good news - 1 commission down, 1 more to go. I can deliver this one personally tomorrow. :D

Shirts and books in process of being re-printed. Hats are being made - although I'm not sure we'll have enough made to accommodate for the JCCH Kodomo no Hi event. T_T; I might have to look into mass producing these somehow. Hand-stitching the faces on take too much time... *sigh*

Wow. I'm hearing news of nemu*nemu merchandise making it's way from Kawaii Kon to places all over. *__*! I'm so happy our latest line of goods were so well received!

In the meanwhile, if you missed the article in the Honolulu Advertiser, I have a quick 2 minute demo of how I digitally ink and color posted to youtube.

It's meant more as a quick demo for the general public rather than be a comprehensive tutorial.

In other good news, I drove my mom's MINI to run some solo errands today. It wasn't quite without mishaps, but I'm still in one piece, so all is good. :D I have to use the car tomorrow to purchase some felt. Wish me luck.

So Kawaii Kon 2008 has come and gone - I have my preliminary report up at the nemu*nemu blog! KS has come down with a cold/allergy attack of sorts while I'm just trying to stay hydrated and catch up with all my missed business.

So sorry I missed posting our Friday strip - as we were at the convention center from early that morning. Last minute tasks and sleep were a little more important at the time. ^_^;

It's been a whirlwind month for us - and it shows no signs of slowing anytime soon! ^_^;;

Too tired to think. Just finished completed May's EOS strip a few minutes ago... I had another strip in mind, but inspiration hit a few hours ago and I switched gears at the last second. I think I pulled it off quite nicely - all things considered. I'll be publishing it web-side after it goes to print next month! :D

I didn't get to work on my tOFU bio today as I had planned.. I hope I can pull it all together tomorrow morning. ;_;

Is Kawaii Kon in really 2 more days? @_@...?
