So, I present to you, my new illustration desk!

It’s an architect’s drafting table, but it does the job for cartoons and illustrations very nicely.  I like the slope of it, and the fact that there are little places to put your inks and pens – I’m so happy with it!  On the board there, even if it’s not visible, is my next project, which is an animation about two wolves (still in its early stages of development).  It will be a 3D animation with 2D elements, in collaboration with Matt Kaemmerer, who is a fabulous animator, but I’m completely and totally biased. :)

Check back soon for updates on the animation, and in the meantime, I will entertain you with pictures of my cat.

Toodles!

Have I a treat for you!  I have started an Austin-based comic group called Koumori Comics, now accessible through our fabulous new Meetup.com site!  “Koumori” means “bat” in Japanese, and as such, we are striving to represent the short-story writers, illustrators, and cartoonists of Austin, the bat city!  If you are interested in comics and want to get to know our group better, feel free to join and sign up for a meeting!

See you at the next Koumori Comics meeting!

Chels-E will be at San Japan in San Antonio, TX; July 9th-11th at the San Antonio Mariott Rivercenter!

I will be doing commissions-only, so if you’ve been waiting to get a gorgeous rendition of your favorite character, come on by!

I will see you there!

Chels-E will be at A-Kon from June 4-6 at the Sheraton Hotel in Dallas, Texas!

Stop on by, have some fun, and buy some bitchin’ stuff!

At Mizuumi-con with First Storm Manga, talking about manga and manga-making.  :)  Thank you so much for your support at Mizuumi-con!

I will be at A-Kon this June, so come show your support there as well!

My website update is almost complete – I’m planning on adding a “Sketches” section to the Illustration as well as working on the One-Shot comics section and finishing up the Store option.

Thanks for sticking with me, you all!

Feel free to check out my deviantArt for more updates on my art, as well as catch me at A-Kon, June 4-6 in Dallas, TX!

Thank you so much!

Chels-E.com is getting a massive website overhaul – I’m switching from Dreamweaver to WordPress to ease the burden of updating this monster every week-ish.  New features shall include:

• the ability to follow me/possibly join a mailing list for various updates
• the Chels-E Store!
• Hopefully a slideshow version of my portfolio
• ..aaand links to the various comics I work on.

So stay tuned!  If you’d like to contact me in the meantime, please do so via deviantArt or via Twitter.

Thanks!
