Artist spotlight! Laine is such a great artist, and on top of that, she’s an amazing woman and a great friend. I met her in college back in 2002 when I moved into my new place and saw a girl who had anime wall scrolls in her room. I was so excited to meet someone who was into the same thing as me, and she actually introduced me to more anime series and video games thanks for Guilty Gear, I’m still hooked. More importantly, she introduced me to artist alley, since it was something she did at conventions. At the time I never, ever thought I would be doing artist alley as much as I do now, that I would be going to so many conventions for my art, my books, and cosplay.
We’ve been apart for years because she moved out to California, but it makes me so happy when I see her art on my dash. The last time we saw each other was Anime Central years ago, her working hard behind a table. It’s amazing that, now, I’m doing the same thing she’s doing and that my table gets crowded like hers. Someday we’ll see each other again, but for now, I’ll be cheering her on and promoting her amazing work. I’m so proud of her you have no idea! If you’re not following her, you definitely should be, and if you ever see her at a con definitely check out her stuff and say hello <3

So I know I’ve gushed about our cover artist for Seeking the Storyteller before, but I don’t know if that conveyed how much I love his art. I’ve been a huge fan of Lor’s art for years, before I even started doing artist alley tables myself and before I began to cosplay as much as I have been. He’s a great artist and has become a dear friend over the years :)
I’m really happy to see that he’s putting himself online more, because I think his art is amazing and needs more love.
So now he has a Facebook, an Etsy shop, and has been updating his website. Now you can get this gorgeous art for yourself :) He also takes commissions, too!

Besides the arts and crafts and fandom things, I’ve started doing original paintings too. *shyly posts* Though actually, this sold at the last convention we were at, so I was really extremely happy since this was something I just came up with and had expected it NOT to sell. Trying to get more confidence in my original works, one step at a time :)
