So, Adelaide Comic-Con has come and gone, and I spent the whole two days sitting at my booth and talking to people. Thanks to all the people who came by to talk to me, and especially a big thanks to people who brought books for me to sign. I managed to sign more than a few copies of each of my books, so that was really nice. Apart from that, I just mostly sat and did sketches I then sold, in-between talking to people (since I don’t go to conventions much, nor really sell art prints or anything there). This was the first convention where I’ve had a table to myself (previously I shared all my tables), so it’s also the first time I sketched much of anything in such an environment.
I took pictures of some of the art I did, thanks to the new iPhone I have. Since the convention went on for 2 days and was pretty tiring, you can kinda see the quality of the art (and the photography) dribble down through the sketches. Conventions are strange places to be drawing in… some people seem to do well in those kind of environments, whereas I found it overwhelming. There’s alwas people coming and going to talk to you, and generally it’s quite loud and noisy. Either way, I decided that drawing characters from The Legend of Zelda will make it easier for me, and so it was. Drawing Link always calms me down.
Doodled this pic of Link on the back of one of those hotel writing pads...
Zelda was also doodled on the back of a hotel pad... random pieces of paper, teehee.
A fan of "The Dreaming" asked me to draw Mary Spector! Now that was someone I haven't drawn for years!
I was asked to draw two pokemon eating a mountain of food. Pokenmon experts should know who the stars of this picture is...
People bought Link so I had to draw another Link.
Zelda was bought up too, so I drew another Zelda.
A french-themed Pikachu for someone's sketchbook
Let me just say that Link was uber-popular... I had to finish this one quick because someone wanted it when they saw me drawing it.
I think one of these guys is called the "Blue Beetle"? This was something about April Fool's Day?
I drew this pic of a cute little blonde boy. I was so tired by then I could barely photograph this one properly.
Nice one! All of these look awesome. I especially liked the Link, Zelda, Booster Gold & Blue Beetle and Mary Spector sketches, and that’s not just because I also upload photos of my sketches and I’m a fan of The Legend of Zelda, DC Comics and The Dreaming. 😀
I wish I could be in Australia to meet you at the conventions, but maybe someday.
Thanks, Guel. Nice to see you back here… I’m sure you can come by Australia some day for a convention. 😀
That said, there’s something I’d like to show you. It’s my new story “We Are The Pickwicks”, which was done for a “Peter Pan”-themed anthology my friends and I put together. It’s a little different to what I normally do (it’s a mixture of comics and prose), so I’ll appreciate it if you can check it out and tell me what you think.

I’ll be doing a long blog post about it this or next weekend, so please check it out if you have time.
Yeah, it’s always nice to come here, talk to you and tell you how great your work is. That just proves that both I’m a fan and a friend.
You uploaded a new comic on the site? Of course I’ll check it out and leave a comment on your next post! That was pretty nice of you to tell me about it first. ^_^
Well, that’s the thing, it’s not really a comic.
It’s a hybrid, and I’m showing as many people as I possibly can, so I can see if people have trouble reading/understanding it.
So by all means, let me know if you had trouble reading/understanding it! 🙂
No, not at all. I thought it was a very interesting idea and I can’t help but be reminded of how you wrote The Dreaming with the mysteries in both stories.
My brother has one of the link pictures^^
Oh and I went and read ‘the dreaming’ at school like I said I would, it was really good!
Thanks! XD I think I remember that frufru dress… Glad you brother liked the Link picture, and I’m real pleased you enjoyed “The Dreamig” too! *thumbs up*
You draw really cool , Queenie Chan 🙂
And how many times I read a book, The Dreaming. In a word, great! It is published here in the third chapter of the book?
Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed “The Dreaming”! Unfortunately book 3 isn’t available on this website (to be honest, it’s out of print in English for now), but I’m considering putting it online eventually since there appears to be no more copies. I’m not sure which country you’re from though? I believe you can always contact the publisher of “The Dreaming” in your country to see if they have book 3. 🙂
I live in Turkey 🙂
Yes, book 3 is availalbe in Turkey. The publisher is Tudem, and I know they have book 3 out. 🙂
