Darlings, I am so so sorry for not updating this. Bad Sonia. My excuse is that I got horribly busy in November, then horribly ill in December, then abroad for most of January, then ridiculously busy over February. Forgive me? Now then, a big summary about what's been happening over the past few months.
First off, comic updates:
The first print run of Once Upon A Time... totally sold out within 1 month. But no fears, the reprint has been sorted and it looks gorgeous ♥ 160 pages of shoujo goodness in tall digest size (5.5" x 8.5") for UK£5.99! You can buy it from our stand at any event from now on, or online now from http://www.sweatdrop.com/products/onceuponatime.php
The Love Stuffing prequel also sold out! Thank you!!! Sorry about the delay in release schedule for this, my illness in December really set me back. The graphic novel volume 1 official launch is London MCM May Expo, sneak peeks to be viewed at Minami. Set to 192 pages!
AyaTakeo volume 1 has been sent to the printers!! This is a 64 page FULL COLOUR THROUGHOUT, silk stock, B5 (large format) comic for dual launch at both the London MCM Expo in May and at Anime Boston. Very exciting. UK£8.99 or US$12.99
Other projects:
The "How Manga Took Over the World" exhibition is touring the UK! Formerly at the Manchester URBIS centre, it is now at the Hub in Northampton until the 3rd May!
Randomly and very awesomely, Channel 4's award-winning sitcom The I.T.Crowd season 3 features some of my artwork in Jen's office, look out for it from episode 3 onwards!
Event update! After the October London MCM Expo, I went to the Thought Bubble in Leeds on the 15th November - this was a very wonderful event, thank you to my (literally) hordes of screaming fans!! Then I attended the Grand Cosplay Ball at the Clapham Grand on the 30th November. It was AWESOME, I was so pleased that my cosplay was well received!! Then in late January I was sponsored by the British Council to give Manga workshops at the Children and Young Peoples' Book Fair in Athens, Greece. I worked with some amazing people and was bowled over by the warm welcome I received! And then I attended the star-studded New York Comic Con which was heaving with attendees! After that was the Japanese Art Festival in Richmond/London! So now you know how ridiculously busy I've been, hehe.
I'll be spamming you all with lots of artwork shortly... be afraid, be very afraid! I'll get all of my photoshoot stuff up first though

That does sound like a lot, people do fall behind when life becomes busy it's alright no need for forgiveness and applogies, you're fine. That sounds exciting, your new art is lovely looking by the way.

Aww, sorry to hear you were ill, glad you're feeling better now though! It sounds like you've been reeeeeally busy D: But at least you're doing something you love! ^^
That's so cool, having your work randomly show up on TV! I don't watch it but I know I should xD;
I'll look out for you at the May MCM Expo ^-^
