Evening guys! February already, how the heck did THAT happen? It's my FIRST convention of 2013 this weekend! Exeter Comic Expo is a small con I've never attended before, but it's run by the same guys as Plymouth and Cardiff and they were *amazing* little cons, so I know it's going to be awesome! I'll have a table there selling my usual array of arty stuffs, so please come along and say hi if you're local!

ALSO! My big news today is that I've finally launched a web store, so if you don't get the chance to find me at a convention, you can now buy my prints, originals, badges and charms online as well! I literally spent all day today sorting out the website so please check it out and, y'know, if you feel like buying anything... haha! If nothing else, it's somewhere to point people to!

Because it's brand new, I'm offering a 10% discount for the first week! If you enter the code 'hellofb', you can get a 10% discount on EVERYTHING in my store. The offer extends until Wednesday 20th of Feb

In other news, I've been playing SO MUCH BORDERLANDS 2 lately. It's SO good. \o/

Heya guys! Hope the holiday season has been kind to you! My Christmas was amazing, and I am so looking forward to New Years and 2013! I think it's going to be a really fun, crazy busy year and I can't wait! I've just signed up for YET ANOTHER convention at the start of the year! Exeter Comic Expo is in February and it should be pretty neat, so if you're in the area and fancy nerding out for a day and mayyyybe buying some geeky art, it might be right up your street!

ANYWAY, onto my newly opened commissions!:

How I work:
For all commissions, I will ask for payment upon completion of the initial 'okay-ed' sketch. I will revise the work up to three times to achieve your best satisfaction! I will happily draw humans, furry, fantasy animals, OCs and fanart, simply provide references and/or detailed descriptions.

I reserve the right to turn down certain subjects. Please refer to my gallery for an example of what I am comfortable and happy drawing and where my strengths lie.

I won't draw fetish art, explicit pornography, or hate art (duh.) I want to try and keep my gallery pretty clean! Cheesecake is okay, and think Disney violence. Basically, feel free to message me (note here or an email laughingfox@gmail.com) and ask! I'll always reply!

If you're interested, please send me a note or email me at laughingfox@gmail.com!

A LITTLE NOTE OF THANKS
This past year has been exceptional in terms of support for what I do, I'm really starting to believe that art is the way my life is heading. A few years ago I was really disillusioned with my art and pretty much stopped drawing all together, and I'm SO glad I couldn't quite bring myself to stop completely. In 2012, I attended 7 conventions (about to attend my 8th) selling art to people who GENUINELY seem to enjoy what I do. Knowing I'm making people happy, seeing folks chuckle as they pass by my table at cons, is seriously the best feeling in the world and I cannot thank you all enough for that support. I'm going to make 2013 my busiest year for art and I hope you all enjoy the ride as much as I do!

PLYMOUTH COMIC & ANIME EXPO
Just when I thought I was done with conventions for the year, one last minute con popped up! Plymouth Anime & Comic Expo is a brand new con down in Plymouth organised by the same folks as Cardiff Comic Expo and I've managed to snag a dealer's table there at the very last minute. It's sold out now so I doubt anyone here is going, but if you ARE, I'll be somewhere selling my usual array of fannish nonsense.

NEW REDBUBBLE STORE
I finally bit the bullet and opened up a Redbubble store to host some shirts and designs. It's pretty empty at the moment but in the new year I hope to draw some specific shirt designs. Take a look if you like your nerdy shirts! -->[link]

I thought I was done with conventions but one last minute con popped up! Plymouth Anime & Comic Expo is a brand new con organised by the same folk as Cardiff Comic Expo, and I've been given a last minute chance to sell my art and things there! The whole thing is sold out now and there aren't tickets on the door, so I have no idea how large the actual con's gonna be, but it's fun and exciting squeezing one last convention in before the new year!

Looking forward to next year, I've already confirmed I'll be at Bristol and Cardiff Comic Expos! I love that I have so many reasonably local conventions, it makes life so much easier.

Man, I haven't had time to draw a *thing* since MCM Expo in October though, I've been super busy and I really miss being able to draw Hopefully this con will kickstart me into it again! *fingers crossed*

ALSO!!: I have REDBUBBLE T-SHIRTS for sale! Perfect for Christmas and future conventions? *hinthint*

Hey guys! It's that time of year again! MCM Expo is upon us! As usual, I'll have a stall in the Artists Alley/Comic Village area, selling prints, posters, badges and things, so come along and say hi! I won't have my table set up on Friday but I'll be there Saturday and Sunday! Look for me in Mabel (Gravity Falls) or Gala Pinkie Pie (Friendship is Magic) cosplay!

My art will feature among many other pieces in an exhibition this October as part of the London Game's Festival! I'm super excited about it because there are going to be some amazing people there and it's just an honour to be included alongside them!


The pieces will be auctioned off and the money's going to Special Effect ([link], a charity devoted to  helping young people with disabilities to enjoy computer games by way of modified controllers and such. Gaming has always been such an incredibly huge part of my life, I'm so glad people like this exist to ensure that others less lucky than I can enjoy them, too.

For more information about the exhibition, (it's in London's City Hall the week before MCM Expo!) check it out here: [link]

I've been using my Tumblr account a *lot* lately for art, mainly step-by-step work in progress stuff, sketches, doodles, as well as finished pieces (that you'll find here anyway) and, y'know, reblogs of Captain America's butt. I've also been using my Facebook 'art' page a bunch to show what I'm working on as I'm working on it - i.e showing stuff like this highly original idea:



If you're interested at all in an arty stream of consciousness ( and Captain America's butt ), please check out my Tumblr and Facebook pages! I don't know many people on Tumblr yet so it'll be nice to meet a few artsy/fannish folk!

Hey guys! I've finally dusted off my old Facebook art page after so many people wanted to keep in touch at BUCK! If you're interested in that sort of thing, you can find it here: [link]

I'll be posting wips, finished art, commission openings and convention appearances there, as well as some special offers, deals and freebies in time!
