FEBRUARY: - Saw Moonlight (this was important to me). - Started working out with a personal trainer.
MARCH: - Had a piece at my third Gallery Nucleus Show. - Self-published a YOI sketchbook. - Did a show, and a con. - Designed another acrylic standee.
APRIL: - Exciting commissions I can’t talk about (they’re not BIG, they just made me happy to be considered for these).
MAY: - Met Mitsurou Kubo and Sayo Yamamoto. - Cosplayed again for the first time in almost 10 years. - Supervised 2 student films + advised on a student videogame. - Storyboarded a commercial for Sally Beauty Mexico. - Did Creativa Fest (met Claire Keane!!) and Pixelatl Bootcamp (sad thing: Not a finalist for their contest for the first time since 2014). - Did another show. - Worked on a piece for @nextlevelzine - (( I did not work out at all throughout this month OOPS ))
JUNE: -Delivered the video I’d been working on since January. Reached 2.5 million views within a month, and it’s currently at something like 6 million views. - Storyboarded another commercial for Sally Beauty Mexico. - Advised on a senior thesis project. - Got hired to do animation for a feature film (it’s nothing big that will ever be seen in the West, but it’s paid work, and a big deal to me ; 3; ) - Watched Twin Peaks.
JULY - Went to Mexico City for a wedding. - Did another show. - I got into a bit of a car wreck, and got my shoulders sunburnt from standing on a parking lot for a million hours. - I did another piece of another YOI Zine, and I got to draw Victor and Yuuri in my hometown! - I did a YOI-themed cover for a Mexican magazine about geeky shit. - We held a bit of a RAM event at a comic book café shop to celebrate season 3.
AUGUST - I opened my online store. - Worked on another campaign for Sally Beauty Mexico. - Got a new phone, after 3 year. This is the first time I own a phone that’s been released on the year I got it. - I saw Kimi no na wa twice in theatres, and cried. - I. WENT. TO. JAPAN. Did all sorts of YOI things: Went to Yuuri on Museum, Karatsu, etc. It was. A GOOD TIME.
SEPTEMBER - I turned 30. - Went to Pixelatl without the pressure of competition. AND LET ME TELL YOU: It is a lot more fun that way. No panic attacks or nothing. I got to meet some of my heroes, AND embarrass myself by saying terrible stuff. HAH! - There was a multiple-state area blackout upon my return (that even affected Texas??). It was spooky. I was like “ARE KAIJUS REAL AND ATTACKING MEXICO!?” - Tested for Bojack Horseman. - The Mexico City Earthquake hit. I was part of a collaborative workbook for kids to help them cope with what happened. - I did another show, but this time nobody gave a shit I was there... and I was fine??
OCTOBER - Found out some of my Rick and Morty art had been made into socks! - Saw IT - An LGBT book with a cover I did was released (I still don’t have a copy). - A thesis project I advised on won a National Award. Go students! - I watched Neo Yokio. - Did 2 RAM covers back-to-back. - Self-published another YOI Sketchbook. - Did another show, but it went bad. First time I don’t make by my investment at a con. Welp. - Finally got a raise on one of my teaching jobs.
NOVEMBER - I self-published a third YOI Sketchbook. - I did a show in Mexico City, and it was INCREDIBLE. - I did another small show in my hometown. - Someone broke into my home, and I have been experiencing a lot of anger, fear, and sadness ever since >:’-( - I did a couple of youtube interviews. - I was finally able to throw myself a birthday party. - Watched the Hey Arnold movie, and CRIED. God Bless. I deserved that movie.
DECEMBER - Took a 3-week-long break. I am now behind on a lot of class planning, and personal projects. But. Screw that. I was tired. - Started reading Golden Kamuy. - I rediscovered my love for drawing.
All in all: I did a lot of shows and conventions, self-published 4 sketchbooks (3 YOI + 1 RAM), did not quit exercising (and am actually starting to get buff legs!), traveled A LOT MORE than I was even hoping to, and strengthened bonds with people in my community. All in all, this was a pretty good year. Here’s to a good 2018! 🍾
Happy Birthday to @engelen 😘
I hope you have a wonderful day and that you appreciate Joel dressed as Hemorrhage (even though it’s nowhere near your standards of greatness)!

TIME FOR MY YEAR IN REVIEW:
JANUARY: We survived the third impact. There was this one day in when I spent 10 hours at a café talking and drawing with a friend. I was rly thin.
FEBRUARY: I had this very long conversation with a good friend of mine. We discussed about what I should do with my career. I can't believe this conversation would carry on to define the rest of 2016. I went to this trivia night thing, and our team won!
MARCH: I saw Zootopia. This is important. I finished "Jack and the Magic Beans," a short film I had been working on for a REALLY LONG TIME. My ex-bosses showcased that at their booth at SXSW. I started developing "Nicki and Hawn," my Pixelatl project of the year. I crashed my car.
APRIL: I competed in a swim meet for the first time in something like 6+ years, and I actually placed in the podium! I had the brilliant idea to produce a huge short with the kids at one of the schools where I teach. Worked on lots of pre, and production stuff during this month. Invader Zim began being printed in Mexico, and my cover reached mainstream retailers. I'd never seen anything I’d worked on being sold at a major store. I almost cried.
MAY: Finished that other short. It's not very good, so it's nowhere to be seen online. I was a guest at a local Comic Book Store for Free Comic Book Day. I felt important. I got an undercut afterwards. My cousin got married in Playa del Carmen. It was a lovely trip, although I did bring some Nicki and Hawn work with me.
JUNE: The Agency where I used to work joined a Dodgeball League. It was fun. One of my best friends got married out of town. Another nice trip. I started watching Osomatsusan.
JULY: I took a modelling class in Maya. Gave me the necessary tools to tell my students they NEED to be able to draw, even if they think they “just” wanna do Maya modelling. I drew A LOT of Osomatsusan fanart. Some art of mine got turned into pins, as official Rick and Morty merch. I quit my agency job. I started watching Mob Psycho 100.
AUGUST: I went to LA for the Gravity Falls Gallery Nucleus Art Show. I still can’t believe I got in, and I am terribly indebted to Alex Hirsch and the Gallery Nucleus people for creating the conditions that helped me not go into another depressive episode after quitting my agency job.
SEPTEMBER: Marked my 1-year anniversary of being antidepressants-free. So many cons, and festival stuff. I tabled at a local YAOI con with my friend Lisa, went to Pixelatl (and had my self-esteem and confidence destroyed again, but it only took me about a week to recover), and was a signing guest at a major con in Mexico City. WHUT WHUT!? I also started writing regularly for a blog.
OCTOBER: Yuri on Ice premiered. I never knew I would love it so much, especially considering the stylistic whiplash I got coming out of Osomatsusan and Mob Psycho 100. I also worked on a thing that should be released in January, I hope. I did my last swim meet of the year, and did terribly.
NOVEMBER: I was in another Gallery Nucleus art show. Only one of my pieces sold, but the staff raised the prices by 300%. I never thought my stuff could sell for that much. I worked on another thing that should be released in January... I did a 5K and had katsudon afterwards. It was fun. I also guest-signed at a local con.
DECEMBER: I worked on another thing that should be released who-knows-when, and was a guest at a convention in Guadalajara (I met some rly nice cosplayers there, and we all went for Korean afterwards. It was a rly nice trip). Oh, yeah, my computer is dying.
I also did a bunch of covers for Rick and Morty, but none have been announced, LOL. Oh! And at some point I got a credit card. YAY ME!
This year was... really weird. Like you can split it in three periods: One in which I had no idea what I was doing or where my career was going, a period of mild satisfaction, and a complete break from the norm, and actual evolution and moving forward in my career. I don't know. This year feels like I went through three very different arcs. I feel like I’ve grown a lot, to the point where my psychiatrist even congratulated me once. Here’s to 2017!
A tiny Joel by @engelen - the cutest.
My witchsona, and its initial concept (which I personally prefer).
I’m basically wearing Howl’s coat, gloves with a transmutation symbol (based on the Fire Nation), and am in possession of the Clow Cards.
I didn’t draw it because I’m lazy, but my familiar is probably Hello Kitty. Also, I ride in an EVA. I am invincible!!
Drawing things my 12-year-old self would be proud of :'-)
I'd been meaning to do the "Comfy | Casual | Classy" outfits meme :)
