I would've called this entry "Uberweekend!" but alas, there were only so many letters I could fit in the title. Anyways, have I got the weekend lineup coming up! First off, if you happen to be in downtown Vancouver from 4:00 'til 8:00, head on down to My Sister's Closet where I'll be making my buttons on site as part of their Prevention of Violence Against Women Week events. It's a really great cause and it's absolutely worth checking out. For more information, check out this link. Secondly, I'm coming back to Fan Expo Vancouver! No, I won't be selling my art but I'll most definitely be roaming the convention crowds geeking out with the b
