I made some art for looking4tarzan's birthday... Sorry I am so late!

First of all, thank you so much for the well-wishes, it was wonderful to see how many people had us in their minds and hearts at his time.

Greetings from Toronto! Because of the uncertain situation in Japan, my family and I decided it was best for me to come home. There were no direct flights to Venezuela available, so at the moment I am at my friends house in Toronto and I think on Friday I continue to Caracas.

I live in Tsukuba, which is about 160 km from Fukushima (Tsukuba is north of Tokyo). We were having power and water rationing and stores were already sold out of food, toilet paper and the like by residents buying compulsively. Fortunately, there was little structural damage to Tsukuba-city and no danger of Tsunami.

Students were moved from the university dormitories to friend's houses if they could or shelters if they couldn't (the reason why is not 100% clear, maybe because they feared the structural integrity of the 40 year old dormitories or because water and electricity couldn't be guaranteed). So it is a strange mix of panic and business-as-usual as people go to work and laboratories resume their research, but people who can, go south or away. For instance, my laboratory friends from France and Netherlands are already on their way home and my Australian housemate is in Yokohama, and going home tomorrow. My Japanese neighbor who has a baby is going south to stay with her parents while her husband stays working in Tsukuba.

It feels weird to be going home like this. Narita Airport (Tokyo) was crowded and it was difficult to get tickets, as they didn't sell them at the ticket counter, but only through phone or internet reservation (thank God for my iPhone as the phone lines were full).

I only have my emergency bag that I packed on Saturday: 1 change of clothes, computer, passport, other documents, money, 2 coats and 3 sweaters, a roll of toilet paper, a towel, a roll of wide Scotch tape (you ever know when you might need to tape something), a swiss army knife and for some reason a lot of skin-care products I thought were essential in an emergency (???).

My housemate took some pictures:

I hope I am over-reacting, and things will be controlled and back to normal soon and I can return home to Tsukuba, but as a student, March is a semi-vacation month as classes start in April, so it really has no big consequences for me academically even if I am away for a couple of weeks, and as my mother in Venezuela said "Since right now, it is wait-and-see, you can wait-and-see from here".

Lets hope for the best.

Figure skating things!

I posted some fanart for skategreat's cliché challenge (Cliché 1. Genderswap):

Bandom things!

I also made fanart for barker101's bandombigbang fic 'Lift Me Up, It's a Brand New Day'. It is a cute kid!fic where Spencer and Jon are Brendon and Ryan's parents.

Let me tell you what fics I have loved! And some Figureskating!art I made.

New OTPs I have acquired in the last 3 months:

( American Idol, Star Trek, Supernatural, Figure skating RPF )

Actually the last one is just me loving Johnny's crown of roses, no relevance to the fic what so ever...

EDIT: Sorry, here is the art, I forgot the entry was locked:
EDIT2: I moved the art to my RPFanart journal so it will be all in one place.

So this year was very busy and there wasn't nearly enough time for art, but let's have a roundup post anyway!

( This year's art achievement: SGA, Bandom, Merlin, Other )

I wish you all a very happy 2010, I hope we can have as much fun together as we did this year!

Ok, I have sent cards to:

dogeared, looking4tarzan, milenaa, ladyflowdi, beeej, monanotlisa, anjak_j, fleurrochard, sunsetmog, tty63, missyvortexdv, tipsywitch, anatsuno and the4ts

I must confess I made 4 different types of cards and reproduced them several times, but each was drawn and colored by hand.

SGA: McShep: 8
SGA: Team: 1
Bandom: Brendon/Spencer: 4
Christmas Gen: 1

If I promissed you a card and you are not on this list, please let me know so I can send it to you ASAP.

Also, because I was finishing cards late at night, if I accidentally sent you the wrong type of card, let me know and I will send you a new card with the right pairing/motiv.

If you want to post a picture or scan of your card, please do so, they are *yours*.

A very long time ago I promised runpunkrun that I would make her a picturebook for her awesome series Able to Zoo. I drew her the first seven (Able to Gamble) and then never got around to finish it. So now, more than two years later, I made some more.

Drawings by me, text by runpunkrun.
