Quickie reminder in case anyone here is applying for my graphic novel residency in Florida with Paul Pope and Craig Thompson this fall--the deadline is this coming Friday, May 21st! It's going to be 3 weeks of awesome and comics on the wonderful green grounds of the ACA campus. The details are on my website www.svetlania.com
In other news, I had a long visit to the dentist this week ;___; One of my poor teeth had been through 3 dentists and 5 fillings, so the only way to save it at this point was to... Get a crown... AAAAAAA. My dentist is a wonderful and kind lady, but there's just no sugarcoating an hour and a half of close encounters with sharp pointy whirring dentist tools. And apparently there is a possibility of a root canal later. *considers the dangers of accidentally knocking self out with a hammer beforehand*
Unrelated, I see in my latest poll there are Many Many Kindred Souls here who live for comics. HIGH FIVE, PEOPLE. Let's not have a life together and go draw some more!! 8D
...But first, sleep, yes z___zZzZzZzzzz
[EDIT] P.S. What's this llama badge thing all about?... *squints at llama with cape on account*

Svet will be in Houston on April 26th!
Hi, guys, quickie note--if anyone's in Houston, TX this April 26th, I will be there, too, come to TeenBookCon to see meeeeeeee! The fabulous creators Jillian Tamaki and Mariko Tamaki, who are amazing and the creators of "Skim", they will be there also and we're totally doing a panel together and I will likely embarrass myself geeking out over them. There will also many other amazing authors presenting! The event is free to attend and you can find the information here: TeenBookCon!
Yaaaaaay!!!
Of marketing and creators.
Really interesting and thought-provoking entry by Moonie-Dreamer (https://www.deviantart.com/moonie-dreamer) on marketing one's work:
https://moonie-dreamer.deviantart.com/journal/Marketing-Yourself-as-an-Artist-429095305
I posted in the comments there, but wanted to archive this in my Journal Entries for future reference, as well as give a heads up to people interested in the topic. It's certainly an important one!! This is less actual for people with a dependable 9 to 5 job, but for a freelance artist it's a must to consider these things, since you never know which of your promotional efforts will get you a job (or which won't). For example, I never would have gotten the TOKY
Svet's in Sacramentoooooo
I made it! I'm alive! ...I have a headache, stoopid jetlag *cue copious amounts of Advil and coffee*
Re-posting the schedule info post from my Facebook everywhere, sorry if you see this more than once :D;;;

Okay, so I have my info for SacAnime!
I will have a spot in the Vendor's room at table W33, so if you would like to say hi and/or something signed, please come by :D
I will also be running 2 panels:
SATURDAY--"Meet a Manga Author" panel 2-3 pm in Featured Events (I will be talking about my development as an artist/writer, showing stuff from various projects and embarrassing childhood photos :3)

Svet is a guest at SacAnime this January!
NEWS ITEM: I will be a guest at SacAnime in Sacramento, California this coming January 3-4! I will be running a couple of panels and I believe will have a table, as well—so if you ever wanted something signed by me and live in the area, come by and visit! Convention information can be found here: http://www.sacconventions.com/
I also made a special art print for the convention, a re-draw of that Alex/Sohrem scene in book 2 of "Nightschool: The Weirn Books"--I finally got it looking more like I see it in my head!!

I'd apply in a heartbeat, but I'm not 21 yet T_T I'm just a teen (like the 13-14 area.)... But I'm still an amateur artist/writer with no life because of drawing/writing so much 
And I'm currently enjoying my lack of life (my life's pretty much here on dA and in my sketch/writing books). And, as for the Llama badges.... I think that there's a badge made every April Fool's Day. It just happened to be a Llama this time. 
And, 0_0 I'm sorry that you had such an experience at the dentist's.
