TCAF 2014 - saicoink + nozmo are ROSE TEAR!!!

I am too tired to make my own image so here is Nozmo's! I am sharing a table with Nozmo at TCAF this weekend - May 10-11 at the Toronto Reference Library.  We are on the second floor at table 241.  Please come visit - say hello and look through our books!!  I hope to see some of you there! In addition to volumes of OSCP 1+2 to 5, I have lots of copies of new full-colour comic Object Memory and Rose Tear, a shoujo magazine parody collab with Nozmo!

Object Memory - 16 pages full colour, letter size (it's a big book) $13

Bessatsu Rose Tear - 28 pages collab with Nozmo. Half-letter size, B&W insides with glorious colour cover.  $6 My story for Rose Tear:

Nozmo will have a fine selection of books - take a look here to see what she's bringing! If you can't make it to TCAF or want to pay for your books before picking them up at the show, you can make an order at Bigcartel!!!  If you want to pick books up at TCAF or Anime North, please choose shipping to Vietnam for $0 shipping and tell me when you plan to pick up!!

My Bigcartel webstore has just been updated with a bunch of new items! You can now preorder copies of Object Memory for $13 and Bessatsu Rose Tear for $6 online!  If you would like to pick up your copy at TCAF or Anime North, please choose shipping from Vietnam and let me know which convention you would like to pick up in the comment box when you pay. You can read Object Memory online here - the printed version features new colouring!  If you like the story and would like more comics about Mother Koala and Mi, you can support the work by purchasing a print copy. m(_ _)m Object Memory has some special bundles in addition to the book! Add $2 and receive a copy of Sunflower Club #2, a Risoprint zine - 10 pages with 2 inserts - featuring Mi the Yellow Dolphin and boy Oscar and Jirou with a freetalk about Osaka. I only have 11 copies on hand, so this is a limited offer!  Add $5 for an original 4" x 5" colour ink drawing with Mother Koala and Mi.  These bonuses are online only - so if you were thinking of getting a copy at AN or TCAF, you can preorder on the site to get the bundle or drop me a message on Tumblr so I can prepare a set for you beforehand as I can't paint during an event. :-) The printing for Object Memory ended up being a lot more expensive than I had anticipated hence the price ended up being more than $10... As a thank you for early supporters though each copy of the first printing will come with a small pencil sketch of Mother Koala and Mi - this is free and is different from the colour ink drawing that costs an extra $5. I also put up some original paintings for sale. They are unframed, but if you need some assistance in framing them I can look into it. It is my first time to sell original artwork so if you have any questions or concerns, please ask. I can offer payment plans or hold pieces for a non-refundable deposit. Just ask. :-) As for OSCP6 - aiming for an August release. I probably won't take preorders until June or so! The book will be around 130ish pages, $12 special preorder price! Please reblog to get the word out about these books!!  Thank you for reading, and I appreciate your support!! m(_ _)m

I'm currently working on colouring Object Memory for the print version - debuting at TCAF in MAY!!! In addition, I've been painting and inking pages for an upcoming Spera book.  I'm contributing a short called Misty Eyed that I wrote based on the characters and storyline by Josh Tierney.  It's kind of exciting as I'm working with traditional media in combination with digital finishing and colouring.  It is taking a little longer to work using both methods, but I really like the texture I can get from working outside the computer...!
