Season One Finale, now on Tapastic!

Hey fans!  I have just wrapped up Season One of Shelby and the Blooms!  Click HERE to see it and/or subscribe!  Season Two will be released first as a b+w zine at Anime Expo in July, and as a full-color webcomic around the end of summer.  In the meantime, I'm working on a secret project for the series.  Stay tuned!

Anime Expohhh

I thought I would post some of the highlights of my first artist alley booth at Anime Expo!  Despite being one of the few fan art-free tables in the artist alley, I received a lot of support, and even some interest from animation industry people!  I offered mashup commissions of either Bubbr or Chubicorn, cosplaying as any character.  I also stopped some of my favorite cosplayers to snap a photo of them.  It was exhausting, but a lot of fun!

By the way, if you haven't already done so, follow me on Instagram @Chubicorn, and on Tumblr @jonsaintamant.  I post on those sites on a weekly, sometimes daily basis.  On this site, my posts are few and far between.

The Shelby origin comic is here!

After months of hard work and late nights, it's FINALLY ready!  This comic tells the story of how Shelby formed her band.  It is 21 pages long, and each page is highly detailed, and shaded with screen tones and grayscale.  I will debut it at this year's Anime Expo (July 3rd- 6th), then feature it on my etsy page.  

It's Official!

I have three upcoming events for the remainder of this year, and next:

1. A Shelby booth at the Walnut Family Festival- Suzanne Park, Walnut, CA (Saturday, October 12th)

2. A group sculpture show at the Hive Gallery in Los Angeles (November 9th)

3. A booth at next year's Anime Expo!  Los Angeles Convention Center (July 3rd- 6th, 2014)

Chubicorn Makes Friends!

I went to the Anime Expo this past weekend.  If you ever go, bring a good camera; there are SO many great cosplays.  I was walking through the artist alley, introducing myself and handing out Chubicorn stickers, when I came across this AWESOME booth.  The artist's name is Shilin Huang, and she is the creator of the series, Carciphona.  You can see more of her work here.  Anyway, when I gave her the sticker, she was genuinely happy, and put it on her forehead!  The end.
