A bit of a Fan

I have to admit that I love the work of creators of graphic novels. Not only can they create such interesting looking characters, but amazing stories too. One of my favourites is the creator of Detective Conan, Aoyama Gosho. I have even started writing a fan fiction introducing a character based off of me. In fact, it is from this character that I created my profile pic from. Here's a rough draft of a page from the fan fiction comic that I am planning out.

I'm Selling Online!

I've opened up shop with Redbubble.com and started to sell my artwork online! After the success at the Saanich Fair, I was inspired to start putting my work up for sale. You'll even find some of the work displayed in my blog in the form of prints, printed clothing and even some iphone cases.

You will also see my latest art series, the Alphabet Fairies. The first two letters are up now, with more to come. I'll be uploading the fairies in pairs, hopefully one pair per week.

Mekatt is also making appearance along with the newest illustrations and photoshop images, like Key to the Underworld.

Please check it out. I'm under the name landimonk.

Mekatt's Road Trip

This weekend, a friend and I went on a road trip up Vancouver Island, from Victoria to Nanaimo. On our second day in Nanaimo, we had planned to join some friends for breakfast at a restaurant. The unfortunate part was that we lost sight of our guide to the restaurant and ended up getting really lost. We got too upset trying to make it to the restaurant that we ended up calling it quits and decided to head back to Victoria; especially since it was just about time for lunch and we figured that the friends couldn't wait any longer. But other that mishap, the trip was enjoyable. Though next time we head to a place that we don't really know, I'm getting a printed map of the area, having the locals mark where on the map we desire to go and have the cell phone number of the person that we maybe trying to meet.

Mekatt's Weekend

Got to love getting together with friends. Especially when we have something to celebrate. This time it was to celebrate me moving back to the hometown. Now we can get together more often, providing our work schedules will allow it.

Introducing Mekatt

I would like to introduce my blog companion, Mekatt. She's quite a vocal cat and through various bubbles, you'll be able to hear her thoughts. Mekatt is actually based off of the various cats I've come in contact with throughout my life. The one cat that kinda spearheaded this character cat was my mother's cat, Billie. Billie is quite a character herself and quite often will demand attention from my mother as soon as my mother walks in the door.
Though Mekatt is basically a tabby-cat, the lines on her forehead run horizontal rather than vertical. This gives her markings like the visual representation of sound waves, which is appropriate for a cat that sounds off her thoughts. I hope you enjoy what Mekatt has to say each week.

Billie, the Inspiration
