DONE :D

I did it!! :D

Hello. My second batch of button badges - the first one that will actually be available for sale - has been ordered and paid for tonight. I can already anticipate the awesome pride I'll feel upon looking at those tiny little professional-looking items with my art over them. Squee. =D

I thought I'd show you all the final designs. There are some I like more or less, but I tried to make choose and make them accordingly to the results of the survey I conducted a while back.

	Closet logo - All orders will come with one included. (to be honest I'm still in love with it. The rock thrown and the lettering. <3)
	Bite me! - a favorite of mine. Commodore was quite high in the character popularity contest, and I like the joke XD (Japa in bonus.)
	Duck! - Another one of my favorites. Isn't IsoT just awfully cute and sad? Poor little super hero.
	The Axe - I'm still giggling over the comic. I'm also giggling over the lame wordplay. But that's just me XD It was also a popular demand =)
	Gaffaman! - This was a hard one to design. None of the actual drawings of Eicca as Gaffaman actually worked well in a button design. So you're getting a... rescued innocent instead =)
	Life - As much as I love that comic, using it in button design is much harder than it looks. (but you know life *is* short, even if he doesn't like that word)
	Sparkly - I could not have left that one out. Too bad I can't actually put glitter on those badges.
	sPINK & Spank - I think this one imposed itself mostly because I fell in love with the wordplay. Not thw pink part, just you know, the whole. I love words.
	Throwing UP - That picture was probably the easiest to use on a button design. And, to be honest, I like it very much XD You decide if it represents what downing alcohol so recklessly will lead to, or the actual downing itself XD
	Wilde Mime - I actually had a lot of demand for Jann Wilde. Weird, especially since I drew him what, 3 times? Finding the right image and right slogan was much of a hassle. v.v
	Rumors - I'm VERY happy with this one. This is a drawing I did for the occasion. Know the saying, "Rumor has it that [insert gossiping here]" ? Rumors is cool. Rumors is awesome. Rumors has IT. Period. (you can also see some double sense in the 'period' comment. is it what Rumors has? period? XD)
	Beerman - I had few demands for Bloodpit, but this drawing - Paavo as Beerman, another superhero - is just one of my favorite. A small number of these will be made =3
	Teddy - I think this one will be liked very much. =3 The drawing was made for the occasion =)

Time Passes, People Change...

Hello, Closeteers! 

I write to you all again.

I wish you had a very nice Zombie Jesus celebration. I'm sorry I - once again, as always with predictable events - missed the occasion to draw something funny and cute. Sorri. =3

A little update on my life at the moment, just because it has and will have an influence on the closet's updates in the future.

Well, first, I was accepted in a Finnish boarding school to learn the language and culture.

Yes, in Finland.

So I will be leaving at the beginning of August, the beloved province that is Quebec, for at least 9 months of hard studies.

I will be taking my dearest baby with me, meaning my laptop, but alas, the internet connection at the school is... miraculous. As in, hard to get and rare, meaning you do with what you get.

So I might have a lot of occasions to draw - but little occasion to post.

That might mean that I put more effort in colouring, shading, or even, who knows... backgrounds?

(this has NOTHING to do with the latter part of this post)

So. I will be leaving in less than 4 months now, and to be absolutely honest, this is scaring the fucking shit out of me. But. Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important than fear. I believe this and will go to the end of my dream.

even if I'll just have enough money after that to try and find a way to stay, otherwise I'll have to come back here and I'd rather not

This also means that I have a shitload of paperwork to go through. Lots. Of. Fun.

I... still managed to complete this project I started a while ago. See, the absence of a location for my comics started to get on my nerves a while ago already. Sooooo. I worked on it.

And I give you... Closet Baari! =D

Please note the following:
- the curtain poles and decoration made with clothes hangers;
- the pictures on the walls from Closet Inc;
- the toilet signs;
- Jussi scurrying away on all fours;
- Masa's flushed look.

Also,
- Closet Bar only serves iced tea. Don't ask why.
- The bartender is PB (Phantom Bartender).
[yes, it's PK, but you know, he needed a part-time job, and he deals well with annoying customers]
- Rumors were made for that job.
