Anime Expo was a nice convention for many people, but as I stated earlier, I go for buisness and not amusement. And I have made another bad investment with this convention. Buisness was not good for me. INCUBUS #3 sold out, which is good for Media Blasters/Kitty Media, but for myself, I sold a few prints and ashcan sketchbooks and all of my Weapons of Mass Destruction comic books (8 copies), but I made less than 1/7 of the total cost of the trip all together (hotel, food, transportation, plane fair, etc... ). >_< gaahhh...
Usually I can judge how a convention will go for me judging how the first day goes for me, and the first day was not good, and to my expectations, the rest of the week was nothing special.

If anyone has seen any episodes of the new Battlestar Galactica, they will understand when I flop over and yell the word "FFRAAAAKKKK!!!" >_<

So, no more Expo for this chubby kitty dammit! I will still go to Yaoi-COn this year though. But next year, if i am gonna try another convention besides Yaoi-Con, then maybe i will try something out in the East. Ohiyo-con was a disaster bacj in 2007 (or '08), so that's a no go. Maybe something in Texas will go better.

So although AX sucked for me (but I am sure it was a grand time for others)at least I know now what its like and got sum exposure and met some nice readers of the books ( *cries TT_TT Thank you all so much for stopping by the booth and visiting and purchasing the INCUBUS series and prints and WMD and ashcans! *bows*).

The big financial kick if not pocket money accumulation, comes from selling my original art. Its the purchasing of original art that usually pays back some of my trip expenses. But no paintings or drawings sold at all, and that was what set me back TT_TT

| Besides that, onto the Sherlock doujinshi news! |
|==================================================

Finally paid for the invoice for the print run of the Sherlock Holmes doijinshi, and now I can post the order form that anyone intersted in can download, print, and mail to me with thier payment for thier copy of the doujinshi.

Please read over the order form carefully of all the instructions. ONly 3 copies maximum per order.

However, if you live outside of the US, I will take your order by email, but will not take Paypal. ONly Foreign orders can email me as it would take too long to recieve thier snail mail from thier home. No complaints! >_< Email:

thundertori@yahoo.com

Please allow a couple to few weeks for delivery. This is due to the fact that because I could only afford 100 copies for the first print run, I will need time to get enough $$ to make a 2nd print run to make more copies available.

One book is $17 with $5 for shipping and handling. Any additional books, add $2 (maximum of 3 books per order).

I will have to configure the shipping and handling for orders outside the US as I need to get the book weighed in its package to get an estimate of the shipping. So I will update soon on that.

Again, I will take check or money order or cash, but NO PAYPAL.

Please go to this link to download the order form. Thanks again very much for your support!:
