Spiritus is the name of our gallery show.

Here is everyone's business cards and post cards.

Here is a comparison between the original character and the outfit.

I also wore the this outfit to Animaritimes 2013.

The gallery show:

Spiritus

I was a bit nervous about the show because I never did a gallery show before. But as the evening went on, I got more comfortable. It was a great experience.

The exhibition is up all summer.

Right after the gallery show opening, was graduation.

What Happened in June (Part 1)

The first half of June, I was working on my gallery piece and getting everything else pass in and marked. It was a very stress full time for me, especially trying to get my business/ post cards done for the gallery show. There were problems that kept popping up with them. Eventually they were straighten out.

Each of these leaves has a different pattern for one and other.
