Last year at London Expo a lot of people couldn't find me because they thought I was in the artist alley, so just to make it clear this year, I'll be sitting in the dealers' area at both Kapow! and MCM Expo.

Next month I'll be going to Desu Con in Norway, and I have no idea where they'll place me. Last year I sat almost right next to the entrance, and still a lot of people said they couldn't find me. :XD:
On one of the streets where I live there is a house some new people moved into about two years ago. Well, we assume someone moved in, because no one I've talked to have ever seen the new owners. But the garden is being kept, and depending on the season different ornaments and statues are placed in the back and front yard or simply moved about, though when they do this is everybody's guess. If you walk past the house in the daytime and steal a glimpse through the window into the living room (it has to be by day, because the living room is always pitch black at night) you'll see three huge Santa Claus dolls almost reaching the ceiling standing in the visible corners of the room. They're there all year around.
One night when I walked past I could see the silhouette of a woman through the curtains on the third floor in the only room that had any light. "Finally" I thought "Got my first glimpse of the owner"
But a few nights later I walked past again and looked up at the window (dark this time) only to see that the curtains had been drawn, and a mannequin looking down at me.

The house seem to be slowly filling up with mannequins that are never moved and never change clothes, though once one of them had been placed in the garden for some reason then moved back into the outhouse the next day.

The place creeps me out, but I love it. :XD:
I didn't watch the cosplay show a SVScon but I heard a lot about the winning act called "Twisted Disney" so I looked it up on youtube and felt like sharing it with you.

[link]

It's in Danish but has English subtitles. It's some of the Disney girls who sufferd the most because of men in their movies who want to get back at them now. Well, and Minnie is just an evil bitch. :XD:

The act is based on :iconjeftoon01:'s Twisted Princess pictures and stories [link]

EDIT: I should probably clear this up. It wasn't meant as a feminazi "kill all men" act, but just a funny song about the princess going crazy lead by evil queen Minnie. The heads they hold up at the end are the bad guys from their movies, not the princes'. ^^;
Pew, finally home. I was planning on staying at SVScon all of Sunday as well, but was feeling really ill after all the fast food mixed with my new pills, so I decided to call it a day and went home with the first bus this morning.
It was a really nice hostel room the convention got me though, which I'm forever thankful for. I think it's the first time I've actually slept well on my first night in a new place.

Anyway, reason why I say "finally" home is because a trip that was supposed to take two hours ended up taking six hours because of some railway-work being done, so I had to change train four times and bus three times. Positive side of it all is that I'm getting more confident in my ability to get places without getting lost, no matter what troubles are thrown at me. :XD:

Oh well, time to get ready for Kapow! and MCM Expo in London.
Well boys and girls. First thing tomorrow I'm off to SVScon. I'll be selling original drawings as usual as well as posters. Won't be selling books though because they won't be ready before the Kapow! convention in London next week. Not sure if I'll be selling commissions either because I've been working like crazy the last few days and my arm is really starting to hurt, so I think I'll use the convention as an excuse to give it a rest.
And if you see me put disinfection sprit on my hands after shaking hands with you, don't worry. I don't think you're filthy. I just really don't want to get sick before I go to London, yet I still want to hug and shake hands with people, so disinfection sprit is the middle way. :XD:

And of course I'm looking forward to see my friends again, whom I've been neglecting terribly because of work. -__-"
Arg! I forgot to tell you guys that the deadline for the fanart competition is 10th of May! Jesus!

Anyway, if you feel like you can make it, hurry up and finish your picture and post it in the Fresh Epics group. Sorry about that. ^^;
When I went to England I was sitting in the plane thinking, "England is probably nothing like I imagine. Sure, I watch a lot of English TV shows, but that's TV. Reality is always different" Then the plane went through the clouds AND IT LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE I IMAGINED! I was practically glued to the window, and after I landed and David drove me through London in a car it just got better. Everything looked so English. And more Indians than I've seen in any other country before. England indeed. :XD:

And the double decker buses!
Me: A double decker bus!!! THEY'RE REAL!!! LOOK AT IT DAVID!!! IT'S A DOUBLE DECKER!!!
David: -__-".....

London has a LOT of weird looking buildings, and that huge dome that looks like a doomsday machine some evil scientist made.

Crazy crazy roads. Roads all over the place.

England is oddly hot for this time of the year. In Denmark I have to walk around with a big jacked on. In England I just wanted to wear a skirt and a T-shirt. The fuck guys?

You put post offices inside grocery shops! Don't confuse me like that!

You often hear that English people are timid and stuck up. People who say that have never been to Scandinavia. Luckily I've learned how to turn on my social'ity at conventions in Denmark, so I just kept that turned on during my whole stay in London. We are not very outgoing people up here in the North. :XD:

That's all for now. Will probably think of more later.
Here is the description that got too long for Victorian Line-up [link]

Peter is in this version a Swedish priest who is grossly abusing his position and people’s faith in him. Because he is Swedish he is eyed with some suspicion by a lot of the Danes, because Sweden and Denmark are still mortal enemy at this point (yet is wasn’t unusual to see Danes fighting for Sweden and Swedes fighting for Denmark). Sure he claims to have switched sides, but the most paranoid people suspect him of being a spy. An evil rumour has it that Peter got chased out of Sweden by the population who had gotten tired of him, but his reputation followed him to Denmark, so he jumped on the first boat to the Danish-Westindian Islands before it spread too much.

The Norwegian Kristian is supposed to inherit his father’s plantation, but everybody can see that it would never work. Either he would waste the money away, or he wouldn’t discipline the slaves properly and a slave rebellion might arise (the islands had experienced a few violent rebellions where most of the city was burned down). His father found another solution: Marry him off to Ingrid. Her family isn’t as wealthy as theirs, but they are well respected and her brother is know for his good judgment. He can then inherit the plantations, and that way it can at least sort of stay in the family. Kristian has no interest in marrying Ingrid though, and much prefer riding around the island on his horse or talk with shady people in the town.

Niels is not a crime lord in this version, but a lowly hitman and swindler. He tries his best to get friends in all social layers, his biggest achievement being Kristian. Kristian is up for pretty much anything as long as it will be fun, so Niels doesn’t really have trouble getting Kristian to do him favours. That is also why he started a romantic friendship with him, because it was the closest people could come to be blood-brothers in high social layers at the time. This way Kristian will both find him entertaining and be less likely to suddenly turn his back on Niels.

Ingrid is trying her best to tame Kristian, but is getting really f***ing tired of him (he even steals from her!), so when her eyes fall on Duncan she is intrigued. She has never seen a free black man before, and there’s something awfully exiting about that. She starts to secretly flirt with him, putting Duncan in a very difficult situation.

Duncan has come to realise that life as a free black man is more difficult that it was as a slave. When he was a slave his owner at least had an interest in keeping him alive, but now people are only interested in his workforce, and couldn’t care less if he got hurt. Therefore he is given even harder and more dangerous jobs than before, which is why he decided to join forces with Niels.
When Ingrid starts flirting with him, he is put in an awful situation. He doesn’t want to cheat on Natalie, but if he turns Ingrid down blankly, she might report him to the police for a crime he didn’t commit, and the police wouldn’t even think twice about throwing him in jail.

Natalie also had to face that when you’re black, freedom isn’t all it’s cracked up to be, though she doesn’t regret it either. She patch up and repair clothes for people and gets paid much less than other women doing the same work. Therefore she occasionally help Niels and Duncan do their hitjobs.
She’s not happy with Ingrid hitting on her man, but she too is worried about her and Duncan’s safety if she gets too aggressive towards Ingrid, so the best she can do is try and keep them apart or only let them meet in public places.

Kiddo (Elliot) is a strange child. To really get by on the Danish-Westindian Islands you should be able to speak at least three languages: Danish, Dutch and English. Kiddo speaks all three and always at the same time. He can without problem use them in one sentence, and for some strange reason he will occasionally say “yes” in French. He is of course fluent in NegroDutch, a now dead language that was spoken by the slaves (Obviously Duncan and Natalie speak this, along with English and a bit of Danish).

Agent 300 is known as Jim Scotsman in this version. He got the name because he is the only Scotsman in the police, and has even started signing papers with this name.
Niels always wanted a friend from the police and tried his luck with Thomas for a long time. Finally he had to give up. Thomas was just too honest. Things are however going much better with Scotsman. He is rather corrupt, enjoys bribing (which allows him to wear unusual nice clothes for a policeman) and a brothel downtown is allowed to stay open because can go there for free. Rumour has it that he is even joint owner of the place.
But Niels has found his way around him. He has figured out Scotsman hidden desires and is greatly using and exploring them to make Scotsman more cooperative.

Thomas is Scotsman’s work partner. He is Dutch in this version, but otherwise his story is the same. His wife died a few days after giving birth, and he is now terrified of either loosing his daughter, Wendy (unlikely name, yes) or dieing himself, leaving her behind. He lives alone with her, renting a room in Caron’s house.

Caron is a widow and is renting out a room to Thomas to survive. When Thomas isn’t home she looks after his daughter, and Windy has accidentally called her mother a few times. Caron is also his best provider of gossip, mainly because he doesn’t get out much himself. Caron didn’t know Thomas before his wife died, and has trouble believing the stories about him.

For the first few years of her life, Wendy thought Caron was her mother. She actually prefers to be looked after by Caron because her father won’t let her out much. Has befriended a stray cat and named it Mimi.

Here's a wonderful little online game [link]

The point of it, is to help stuffed toys with their psychological problems. It sounds stupid, but it's really interesting and you can't help but feel sorry for the poor toys. :)
