CHUBICORN!!!

My latest print, a Chubicorn/ Jaws mashup, will be available at this year's Anime Expo.

Developments!

Hi fans!  Sorry if I've been a bit low profile lately.  I've been busy with writing the next four chapters/ seasons of Shelby and the Blooms!  Why so many chapters ahead, you might be thinking?  Well...because...

uh...

Hey!  Look over there!  It's a barbarian-looking Shelby hugging Chubicorn and looking to be in some type of danger!

(whew, that was close.  I almost revealed too much!)

Happy New Year!

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.

Upcoming Show at Kawaiiland!!!

I have been asked to showcase and sell my Shelby art and merch at the Kawaiiland show!!!  It is 21+, and $10 to get in.  It takes place in L.A. on Saturday, May 10th.  There will be a lot of artists, food vendors, music, and hundreds of kawaii people (girls).  Click here to buy tickets!!!

I am in the process of making some accessories that will make their BIG debut at the show!  I will also have various prints, buttons, and comics for sale.  (I apologize for the sideways image.  I couldn't figure our how to rotate it without my dear, loving Photoshop)

Shelby and the Blooms Gender Flip!

I've been working on a few things lately.  I will soon have three full-color posters available for purchase on my etsy shop!  They include: the original Blooms playing their instruments, this gender-flipped version, and a mashup of Cupcake Wizard and Sophie as Jabba the Hutt and Princess Leia, respectively.  Of course, the Shelby origin comic is still a work in progress.

Possum Wizard, Chubicorn, and Valeria

Here are three of the five latest pieces I made for the Hive Gallery's Master Blasters show.  The other one was previously posted (Cupcake Wizard and Sophie), and the 5th one is a dead female ninja, which belongs here, on my Nowhereland blog.

Hey fans!  I typically post finished work on this blog, but if you wanna see my work in progress and tons of other drawings, art, my family, and things I find on my adventures, then follow me on Instagram!  Look for Chubicorn.  I pretty much post daily on there.

 

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.

Shelby in Wonderland

Here is a study I tried based on John Teniel's 1886 print, "The Mad Tea Party".  Below mine is the original.

My latest creation!

In other good news, I am still finding time to slowly chip away at my comic zine (Valeria).  I have now reached the inking stage.  More soon!
