and we HAVE BOOKS!

look, it's the REAL BOOK. This is my advance copy, so you can't have it! XD
I'm really happy with it. The cover has a really nice matte look to it which sets off the sparkles nicely. Also, it's pretty thick, too! The book size is like Vagabond manga size (ie the larger format mangas).

Also, there's a 10 page preview up at Publisher's Weekly!
more stuff to come! you can still preorder it on amazon!

Also, I'll have a panel with more images from the book and postcards, etc, at Pacific Media Expo this weekend! My Panel is 3 pm Saturday in "SPecial Programming Newport C" though you may want to double check the schedule when you get to the con.

It looks like so much fun and makes me think fondly back on my year in Japan <3 I did the geisha photoshoot twice, so I know exactly what you're talking about. Can't wait to buy this! ^^

I'm a lurker here, but I have to comment to applaud the geisha snippet: that is so ridiculously spot on. I love your eye for detail, it really captures the moment... also, the style you used is painfully cute, I love it :)

(Shout out for size 11 feet! The little clogs were near impossible to walk in!)

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

man, thanks! :D Did you experience something like this?

11 forever!

[nealeinvan.livejournal.com]

you are such a divine talent. read a bit in the back of haute, your art is unmistakeable to me. still having trouble with those birkies? they are SO west coast its funny! congrats on the book.

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

thanks, Neale! Yeah, I still wear birks sometimes! but mostly just because its so warm out here, I wear comfy sandles a lot.

[kittythepook.livejournal.com]

This book looks so cute and sweet that it's given me a cavity. =)

[kaijule.livejournal.com]

It is looking really well, and I wish you the best of lucks with sales!

I'd love to have a copy, but I have to convince someone to order something with me to save on shipping X_D

[ruratai.livejournal.com]

Lovin' the pink sparkly cover!

Can't wait till I can buy a copy! It looks like such a cute, fun read! (The page with your Maiko shoe encounter cheered me up no end this morning. ^^)

SO excited for you! ♥

[aimeekitty.livejournal.com]

I was a little worried about the sparkle at first but it looks SO CUTE in person. I think people will really like it. :) glad I could give you some cheer, and thankyou!

I have a review copy of this coming to me (for AnimeonDVD.com) any day now, yay. I'm really looking forward to it, since you seem to cover so many of my favorite things.
