Cute-n-Creepy

It takes place every year, and this year it will be from August 01 to 05. It’s my honour (and it’s my first time) to be invited to participate in one of the sections named “Ani-Com Art-Idol”. Participating artists are to present a sculpture/figure of a comic hero and add personal styles to it. This year, since it’s the olympic year, “sports elements” are also required to be added to the sculpture/figure too. Right, I have been busy preparing my sculpture (a sleepy Felix the Cat doing “rings”) for this fair, and thus not uploading new works to RB lately (sorry… but I am still active reading your new works and journals here). Besides this sculpture, I am also lucky enough to get a free counter to sell my products, so I am also busy preparing my “products”... doing silk-screen tees, handmade coasters, bags, printing caps, etc. of my designs. Very busy, but I am enjoying all these a lot! I tried to check their website, but doesn’t seem to me there’s an English version… anyways, here is the link: http://www.ani-com.hk/front.htm

Ok well… As you guys know I’m sort of new to all of this art stuff. But as of right now I’m sort of in Crisis mode. Recently my computer was infected with a really horrible computer virus that nearly destroyed my computer not once, but twice. (It was hiding during my system reboot that restored my system back to the day of purchase- It’s a tricky little bastard) At the moment I have the virus contained and hopefully destroyed. However it did a number on my system. My largest deviation is my art program. I use Photoshop but as of right now it’s virtually unusable. (A major component was deleted, so I can’t save anything and it can’t be fixed). Right now I feel lost. I have no job, no money, lol. I do have a bachelors degree, however, I can’t get a job in the Hospital here since my family will be up and moving any time now. But I need a new computer BADLY. So that means I need to make some money!!! So here’s my plan! Starting RIGHT NOW, EVERYTHING I have to offer will be on sale. All of my Mark ups will be MARKED DOWN TO 15%!!! I have only sold 3 works ever on Redbubble but I am determined to make that number grow! Also I need some advice… I really need to sell artwork. I think I will start producing some nice posters at our local Kinkos and sell them manually. Do you think that’s the right way to go? Vestque

I’ve decided I’ll savage my computer as is. However, I still want to do a sale! This week All of my Works are only marked up to 15% This is in hopes of selling more works on the Bubble! Grab anything at this price while you can :D Thanks guys for all of you guy’s help and support! Vestque
