Time for my yearly post! Yay!

I spent last weekend in Toronto for Fan Expo, which was all sorts of awesome. Highlights include:

- meeting Jeff Smith, who I am totally in love with now. I took a photo with him and he posed with his arms around my shoulders, and I put my arm around him. It was a very special moment. I have unfortunately had to shower since then :-(
- running into William Shatner on my way to the bathroom with a friend.
- grabbing a stormtrooper by the balls.
- being first in line to have my photo taken with Katie Sackhoff (Starbuck in Battlestar Galactica). I think she put her arms around my shoulders. I was in too much awe of her beauty to notice. I have unfortunately had to shower since then :-(
- generally having a riot with some of my best friends.

I also cosplayed for the first time ever; it was pretty cool to have random people come up to me and ask for my photo. I was dressed as Daenerys Targeryan from Game of Thrones. Apparently there was a Jon Snow wandering around the convention, but alas our paths were not destined to cross.

But I wasn't there just for photos and celebrities, I had a table in the Artist Alley. It went well, and I broke even. I reserved a table again for next year. I am vaguely checking what other conventions I could attend... Of course San Diego and Atlanta look all sorts of sparkly when I do that, but I think with airfare it wouldn't be worth it as a seller. Which is not to say I wouldn't attend at all: I have been dying to see the Dawn Lookalike contest for ages. But there's got to be something closer to home.

In the meantime, I just keep putting paintbrush to paper...

"One word, love: curiosity. You long for freedom. You long to do what you want to do because you want it. To act on selfish impulse. You want to see what it's like. One day you won't be able to resist."

En ce monde nul ne peut me saisir
Car je réside aussi bien chez les morts
Que chez ceux qui ne sont pas nés.
Un peu plus près du cœur de la création qu’il n’est d’usage,
Et pourtant encore bien trop éloigné.

Paul Klee, Journal.

J'irai arracher de ma caresse ton coeur; je rirais du sang suintant sur mes mains. De mes lèvres glacer je dé;poserais un baiser emportant avec moi ton dernier souffler vitale. Ne crie pas de douleur personne ne t'entend... Sent tu venir la douce mort ?
