Presbyopia Kind Of Hypermetropia

Resume Connichi 2010 and a decision ...

Connichi is over now and it was exhausting, humbling and beautiful in equal measure. Never before has a mass produced so fundamentally different feelings and it is difficult to say whether they generally positive or negative is run. First I have to separate this two basic things:
"Vee-Jas" and "the rest" (where the latter is not meant pejoratively ...)

Vee-Jas
I must honestly say, I like "Vee-Jas" very happy. I have worked for years with Tanya, it's great fun and we are a super team. When I look back now and inclusive with my work with ARS (where the process and the organization remains the same yes), I must say that I've been doing it all now 10 years. 10 years I attend trade shows and conventions, put out things bring new self-made products to the market, let posters, comics, calendars, print and merchandise and produce. All this was great fun was, but also stressful, and brought some much controversy and chaos with it.

When I then left the ARS was like a liberation. Tanya and I felt better and we were now on as "Vee-Jas" in Cons. This was largely successful, but for some time the competition is simply too large, printed products of any kind are not so popular and it is simply time that we take our leave of such fairs. There are dozens of other artists and artist groups, simply fit better Manga fairs.
After we had on the 2010 Connichi just lowered our expenses again, it was a done deal. "Vee-Jas" stops with its trade shows! We let the conventions behind us and concentrate solely on working with publishers and individuals. Even before a few weeks there was a clear with both of us that we had no desire to travel from fair to fair, and offer them things. The air is just out and we do not wait until we have ever been run no longer our issues!

We have therefore decided that the Leipzig Book Fair 2011 our last common Fair as "Vee-Jas" will be. There are we sell all that is left, after that final conclusion. From 2011, "Vee-Jas" will be only as an illustrator team takes on the direct orders of publishers and individuals. We design anyway book cover, design license plates and paint the most impossible things (exhibition game signs, table tops ...). From now on Vee-Jas will only be active in this way.
are of course both Tanya and I continue to draw pictures and bring our characters on the paper. I will continue drawing as a hobby, Tanya will continue as Illustrator work. Now and then we will certainly wish to print posters or Bookmarks can, but not to the same extent that we have been doing ...

It was a good time, but we both think that will be in the long run this decision is the right thing.

The rest
As for Vee-Jas Connichi was one of the worst shows ever, I want to say that the rest is quite positive.
and foremost was the Saturday afternoon for a time, which I will not soon forget. I had with Tanya the opportunity my absolute interviewing favorite artist - You Higuri. I never thought that I would really even have the chance to speak directly to almost a half hours with her (of course a very good translator, funny enough, even the author of Child and Youth books was:)). After we had begun nearly a quarter of an hour late (the elevator was hell!), We have covered about half an hour, what has been You Higuri does nothing. She has very patiently answered all my questions, sometimes betray a lot about themselves and their way of working and was super nice. The full interview will probably be the end of the month on my website "Like a Dream."
Especially interesting was her face as I put some of their extremely old plants (Doujinshi) have been excavated for signing. Among them was 20 years old including a failure pressure of a Doujinshi, which she had made as a thesis of their studies. She was also so kind to me an original sketch of "Gorgeous Carat" be prepared. It is really great and is very close to their fans. I only wish I could ummich Japanese right once in a conversation with her to ...

Otherwise, I have the artbook of "Black Butler" and found me and brought in a contest of "KAZE" been through, where you could win the first DVD of the series. The luck I had collected, and our team was one of the winners! Once the first DVD of "Black Butler" appears, I get a copy. am very happy! Otherwise, it was

super great to see some familiar faces again ... including [info] kerimaya that every now and then just said hello, Anne Delseit, some old and underwriter of ARS giving up, of course, our regular customers, some of which were very upset about our decisions, Vee-Jas in this form. Even I could with some publishers anbändeln for "Like a Dream", so I now have some to Review. I am very excited, especially because the Page will receive a completely new face.

extent of my résumé Connichi 2010th It was chaotic, stressful and disappointing, but also beautiful and uplifting. I thank everyone who visited us.
