So spring break has started and I have a lot to work on:
BUSY. I was jokingly saying that Spring Break would be busy but its no joke.

First of all, by the end of this week I will be making a post about the sketchbooks with some examples. I'm working out the kinks on the sample ones (which will also be for sale btw) and will be making a form up for those who are interested.
You can choose everything about them from the type of paper to how to design the cover. I'm all ears. I'm here to work and please~

Second, I've been finishing up a quick cosplay of Ampharos (pokemon) for the D.C. Cherryblossom festival. Thats probably taken up my last couple days of work since I wanted to pop it out and get it out of the way for the rest of break. It's really cute. I'm still reconsidering my choice in fabric right now, but the nice thing is it doubles as a nice spring dress.

Spring is here! Its amazing~

Third: I'd like to put Tintostudio.com back up very soon. I'm currently in the process of negotiating problems with my last online hosting to join a new one. I'll let you know if the domain name changes altogether. There's the possibility it will just to save myself some money and trouble of transfering domains at the moment. My studio will continue to be "Tinto Studio" however. I'm even thinking about legalizing the name to myself.

Fourth, for anyone in the Baltimore area, please come to The8x10 and check out Swampadelica and The Black and Tan Fantasy Band. The Fantasy Band is awesome and Swampadelica is awesome AND the band that both my aunt and uncle are in, so I'll be there to support as well! This isn't just an advertisement though, if you remember I did artwork for The8x10 before for an assignment for my Concepts class:

Upon finding out (on accident) that Swamp was playing I contacted Brian Shupe about making a poster for their opening and he gave the okay! Not only that, but I'm being drafted for logos and t-shirt designs for the band 3fifths since Brian's having an open call for artists to do designs right now.

It's amazing how these little opportunities open doors to others.
I'm very grateful to Rebecca.

Anyway, thats the end of my spring vacation report for now.
More news as it comes along.
