I know, I know, Isabelle Lightwood is not Asian. But I had no other model but myself today so…I also don’t own a whip so sorry…I thought the sword would look better than a crappy self-made whip of ribbon. If it bugs you, just pretend that it’s a random Shadowhunter.

Oh wow. I think this is brilliant and I think it’s just a shame in our society that it’s common dialogue to explain away ethnicity while Hollywood White-Washes the value of our personality, our people, even our subconscious dialogue.

Have you seen the Asian dream casting of Holly posted to her tumblr of Tithe. [link]

HOW DOES THE WORLD NOT RECOGNIZE BEAUTY AS BEING BEAUTIFUL! HOW!! just sayin’
~bejeweledmoonphoto May 15, 2012 Aww thank you so much. I think it’s a shame a lot of opportunities for me are gone because of my race because Hollywood is so “white-washed” as you said. But I can’t really fix that, so I just do what I can :)
*far-eviler May 15, 2012 well, what you do is lovely <3
~bejeweledmoonphoto May 16, 2012 Thank you :D It means a lot to me (your previous comment too).

Especially to the Girl at the Library, so into reading "City of Bones" she didn't stop to watch where she walked... (I can only assume you go to PS.95, because of how young & petite you are, although I went to MS.143 around the bend & couldn't have been an inch bigger. Apologies for not getting your name.)

Normally an internet embargo on my part means I'm up to artistic doings and preparing for a flood of creative-goodness. And maybe this is, in a lengthy roundabout distinctly unfun way— in November of 2010 I sought treatment for problems with my joints, specifically my wrists & knees. And in the logical progression, for the depression that would follow. By December (17th to be morbidly precise) tremors and weakness in my hands made it difficult if not impossible to brush teeth, comb hair, open doors, type and if you haven't guessed yet, draw.

Anyone local, or who saw me over New Years/MoCCA Artfest certainly noted I am sporting my time-tested knee & hand braces once more! Tried and true little buggers they are. But by February physical therapy was proven ineffective. Now all sorts of experts have started poking, Ortho, Vascular, Neurological, etc.

I've never been a super healthy person but even at my worst, I've always had art to keep my sane. Going into my seventh month of being incapable of creating, commuting or even computing, I don't think I've ever been so scared—

And then I get a praise from my ambulance driver ('sup Anesdi)
And then I get written up in a school paper.
And then get things like this forwarded to me;

Phrases like "Courage" and "Fearless" aren't banter for me, they're works of art. Now I am learning "Faith" is as well.

Things are going to get harder before they get better but I feel like a fighter again.

Thank you for that :)

NYCOMICON 2010; in the practice of "If you have nothing good to say… say nothing at all" I haven't recapped. It wasn't dire but it was a mess, which is something I've come to expect. Elisa Lau | Pinkimoon, table-mate, artist, designer, food-wrangler extraordinaire certainly improved the experience. But it was the handful of friends and fans who found me out that made it worthwhile. Gracias, Thank You, Merci, Arigatô, Danke, etc! Truly. :D

Next time I'll be over on the NYAF; I don't know about anyone else but I felt more welcoming there, more organic, festive even!

I know, location-wise, NYAF was put upon, but the ComciCon side was just a mess, a wash of lookie-loo's and industry people flooding the talent, vice-versa. It didn't make for a very creative or happy environment to cultivate... did I mention that I love Elisa? Really, truly, we're meaning to do this again just with much more of a joint effort and NEW items! [On SHOP NEWS I will keep you posted!]

Loads of my prints are outdated or on their last run. That being said PRINT-SALE!! as low as $1, because;

I'd like them to have happy homes. This will be the lastprinting for more than a few of these.
this will cover cost, did I mention NYCOMICON was a bit of a bust,
it will buffer future endeavors, as I endeavor awesome things on behalf of the Future~

Do y'know what blows about Polls?

That if I wanted to gauges interest in ...oh, I dunno, chibi Doctor Who buttons, lets say a lot of 'em, it means people have to pick their favorite only and can't select multiple things; Why does picking our favorite companion mean ignoring our favorite baddie? And if we really

The Doctor, should we have to pick only one?

In good faith to there Series I'm not making them in the right order or slowly, more like a mad dash, you're more than welcome to push in your input. So far I have...

Little Amelia - praying to Santa.
Little Amelia Pond, w/ flashlight
Star Whale (aka Starship UK)
Nurse Rory Williams w/ cell phone
Amy Pond - Police Woman
11 - Raggedy Man w/ apple
11 - w/ Fez
Liz 10 - w/ mask & gun
Smilers
River Song in Fatigues
9 w/Sonic + Rose

So, you, faithful viewer, tell me Who you'd like me to bring with?

*I've every intention in drawing ALL of these, as well as whatever other you might suggest, but I can only make a few into buttons. Whatever gets the most feedback comes with to NYAF. Will make left over available post-con.

Regrettably I'm a patient person. I take a lot of hits to the chin before I rant... and then I rant and rant and rant tirelessly until things are resolved. And honestly if I'm pushed to the point to ranting, dear world, you deserve what's coming.

But I realize now, I post more often the rants than the resolutions. So, concerning my previously ~~subject~~ rant, I'm (happily) obliged to report on Con Anti-Harassment Project!

This isn't to say 'oh, something is being done, so I can sit back and feel secure'. Exactly the opposite! Something is being done because we're doing it!

So, Go, Poke-Prod, Contribute, RePost. Inform the masses... thanks for reading and for the little peace of mind that's granted me. ^_^

Conventions can't completely eliminate harassment. They can be prepared to act upon it when it occurs, and send a clear message to harassers that they are not welcome.

Comics oughta be fun. Comic book conventions ought to, as well. But as long as harassment goes on and there is no clear-cut official written rules on convention behavior and what to do in circumstances or physical or mental assault, our hobby runs the risk of alienating and endangering those within it.

( In My Own Experience... )

There has to be an even medium. Turning a blind-eye isn't an option...neither is going into a blind rage. This isn't a feminist thing, it's a humanist thing. Because we are human first. We should start acting like it. Cross Post. ReBlog. Do Something. please.

Geek! O Sucha geek. Posted because last week I promised

otemen I'd take at least one picture when it arrived. I took, maybe 20, and in much more than half of them I'm giving myself the "Evil-Eye". In a few of them I was visibly swearing...in a couple of others came off looking sort of coy, but I know that look too well. It's the "3 Seconds Till I put My Foot Up Your Ass" smirk, that I can never quite contain. These four are tolerably enuff. I really Do Not Enjoy taking photos.( WARNING! Photographic evidence of said Steve Moffat loff [Dr. Who related dorkery] ensues! )
