Oh Canada! With your exciting conventions and interesting cities it didn't take much to persuade me to come over!

I get on a plane tomorrow, so it's not like I'm leaving it late to write an update about this or anything ;)

I will be exhibiting at:

-Otakuthon-

Montreal 16th-18th August

Premium Artists Table 213

Are you going to be there? :D

I can't wait to meet Canadian supporters and make some new friends :D Please be aware that prints are in strictly limited supply, sorry guys blame the baggage allowance, so if you have a favourite of mine you know you want, come early to not be disappointed, especially at Fan Expo!

I'm going to find it hard to get to sleep tonight! I have never been to Canada before, though it's always intrigued me, I swapped some Canadian dollars in preparation, and spotted the queen on a $20, so I'm sure I'll feel right at home there ;)
Will have to brush up on my French as well, as the first convention is in French Canada, I'm hoping a decent amount speak English, as while I can do the passable basics in french I can't chit chat well, except to tell you what I have in my pencil case, and anyone who's met me knows I love to chit chat XD Toronto I'm really looking forward to exploring, though I can't say I know exactly what I'll do, please do feel free to tell me anywhere I shouldn't miss! Insider tips please guys! :D I think I will see less Moose than I'm hoping ;) Gonna get myself the customary most ugly fridge magnet I can find in each city, I have quite a collection now :)


Managed to reply to almost all my notes (sending love to loads of you guys) though if you haven't got a reply it's almost certainly because I want to send you something thoughtfully written in return :) Making headway into my normal comments as well, though I still have so many of you amazing people to personally reply to. I'll get there! Where did all the time go? Britain got some sunshine so I tried to make the most of that ;)

Stay cool and see you in Canadaaaaaaa~~!

Little update: Would just like to tell everyone to steer well clear of the meetup group 'Toronto Artists and Art Lovers' I turned up for one of their 'workshops' hoping to meet other artists and do a bit of painting with some of my spare time in Toronto, but no organisers showed up, then when we politely voice our disappointment on the event page our comments were deleted and we were accused of being liars and staging a 'malicious attack' After these guys wasted our time and money it's pretty sad they would accuse the innocent people who turned up for their failed meetup. Most experiences I've had though meetup have been great, the night before I met up with some people to play boardgames at 401 games in town. So much fun! But yeah, not all groups have good intentions, so be careful guys! <3

I hope you had fun in Montréal. I'm really sorry about what happened in Toronto, I hope it doesn't taint your opinion of the rest of Canada. I'll let you guess which of the two cities I personally prefer to visit :-)
