It's been a while since I last posted here. My final semester at school was pretty busy, as was the following months after graduation. That shit fest regarding Dave a long while ago really made me think about my place in the community as a pedantic child with a big ego and a bigger mouth. So that's all behind me.

My thesis project was a collaboration between me, my religions professor Dana Sawyer (look him up on google), and Khen Rinpoche (also look him up, famous Tibetan monk). I was to illustrate a contemporary and translated tale of the Radiant (or colorful, or prismatic, depending on translation) Deer, a folk tale part of a set of tales (Tripitaka) detailing the adventures of the Buddha in his past life as various animals (they were actually just regular tales about anthropomorphic animals doing stuff, just retooled to include the Buddha).

You can find the entire set of pictures here http://www.pwc-illustrations.com/Bachelor-s-Thesis

Well my professor got the book printed and published by the Siddhartha School, and theres going to be a book signing! Its got around 24-26 full color illustrations, and has been translated into English and Tibetan, as well as its original language Hindi.

Date: November 2nd
Location: 522 Congress St., Portland, Maine
Maine College of Art

Book Signing at 6-7pm, and again at 9, as well as talks by Khen Rinpoche. If any BRBuers wanna check this shit out/meet another fellow dude, this is the tiiiime.

Also: I'm super fucking excited.

Excellent work! If it wasn't for the fact I'm on the polar opposite side of the country I'd totally be there.

Is it because arceus is secretly a deer, which happens to be what a deer is?

Congratulations Sponson Big Grin! I still remember when we talked over Steam and you had doubts about your career choice while working at the restaurant. Until you stopped talking to me, leaving me cold and alone

It's awesome to know everything is going good over there.

Also fyre is the new Dave.

I'd totally be interested in purchasing a signed copy, but I can't make it to the signing. Any way you can set me up?

No that's still a thing. I just have a book now.

Yeah, just PM me your address and stuff and I'll see if I can send it over. I think the book will be sold for around $15 (none of which I'll see, btw), so take that into account plush shipping and handleing.
