J-POP Summit Recap!

The weather was bipolar. The set-up was a little different. There were cosplay folk roaming the streets and jpop music blaring from the speakers. Not my usual scene but damn, I had fun.





I realize now that I didn't take any pictures of people, haha oops! Anyway, thanks to everyone who came out! I loved seeing new and old faces, feeling inspired by the other vendors and my customers' stories. Now... I rest.

J-POP SUMMIT this SATURDAY & SUNDAY! OMG CAPS!

I've been readying materials and new displays:

in preparation for my final craft fair of the summer: J-POP SUMMIT! in Japantown SF (Post Street from Webster to Laguna and the Peace Plaza). The event runs from 11am-6pm this Saturday & Sunday (August 27-28). I'll be unveiling new cards & prints and... my giant radioflyer! I spent about 2 hours cleaning it for you all so swing by :)
I've never attended before but from the pictures & descriptions, it looks like a great time. Cosplay folk, live performances, DJ battles, food trucks, dance workshops, art galleries, numerous other craft vendors... oh brother it'll be wonderful. I'd love to see you!

Disneyland!!

So! Recently I went to Disneyland (yaaaaaaaay!!). I'd totally get a season pass if I actually lived in SoCal... Anyway, I was able to snag some discount tickets from my fine friends & hopped both parks with the Biggers Clan.


Btw, totally kicked Kevin's butt on Astroblasters AND Toy Story 2 Midway Mania. HA!

Anyway, the trip got me nostalgic and I thought about the first time I went to Disneyland (it was the Biggers' first time ever!). I dug up these photos from my first trip. I guess my sister is kind of in the picture too (mom was hella pregs).
My dad's hair was CRAZY!

Peter Pan at the time was my favorite Disney film and lookee who we got here!

Couldn't resist adding a little caption to this one. So HARDCORE!

My customers come up with the best ideas!

the tin can card as an 8x10 print!

Bless my soul I just fell in love with my printer all over again

I got my Canon Pro9000 about two months ago and am still tinkering with it. I was pretty bummed about how gianormous it is compared to my old Canon i9900 but it definitely prints better, faster, aaaaaaand (which I discovered today) I don't have to manually add print sizes. It already has all of them & more in the system! Endless possibilities. So heavenly. And nerdy :)
