Springfest 2013

Ack! I missed my once a week blogging quota. I was busy with many many things and for a week I wasn't home due to work. My work schedule is super weird. I guess that's what happens with freelancing. Also I have been sick since after SpringFest.

This entry will probably be a rehash of my deviantArt one (just more detailed with pictures).

Springfest! What is Springfest? It's a college run anime convention. It's rather small compared to comic con or as school cons go. Initially it was a one day convention, but this year it was 2 days.
The traffic this year was around a thousand people per day. It's become more popular over the years actually, but it was my first time there.

The dealer's room or artist alley was in a small room. I thought it would have been in the gymnasium, but there was volley ball practice going on. I'm familiar with this college since I graduated from it. The dealer's room was where large classes took finals and midterms. The table was a lot smaller than I expected. Normally it's around 6 feet and I bought enough pvc pipes for a 6ft table. Luckily it still worked out.
The tables were also wooden and scratched up. We had to run out and get a table cloth since it was very unappealing.

My table.

There were a handful other artists and dealers selling anime merchandise. The artists were mostly near the doorway. I sat across from one of the dealers. They had so many things *^* Another artist was next to me. We barely spoke to each other. He was more of an American comic hero artist. Behind me were 2 more tables and then along the wall was about 5 or 6. Near the doorway were another 2 tables. I barely left my seat to see the rest of the con though.

I had about 4 new prints (Godoka, Homestuck, Mirai Chan, Pokemon XY Starters) since comic con in October, wonder nyan stickers, 2 new vocaloid keychains (cul and aoki lapis), buttons and rings.
The rings were experimental. I had a lot of cabochons and I wasn't sure what to do with them.
I also bought a button maker last year so I put it to use!

I met some really really nice artists which I am super happy about. I even friend-ed her on facebook haha. I admire her life style very much. I would also like to just go to conventions every weekend to sell art and meet other artists.

Charlotte and Peron!

Shinzi Katoh Candy Half Wallet

A few months back I was on a hunt for a new wallet. The one I was using at that time was too old and childish. It was also falling apart. It was open season on Ebay for a new one.

This peculiar package came in the mail from Seoul.

TA-DA

I found this cutie called the Candy Half Wallet by Shinzi Katoh.

Shinzi Katoh's items are normally really cute and he has a long line of stationary and accessories from kitchen goods, pencil cases, wallets to bags and more.

This is a compact bifold wallet with a coin purse on back. I needed something with enough storage space for cards and coins. This was it!
I also loved the colors of this wallet as well. I have been really into beige/tan/brown colors recently. It looks mature but is also girly and cute. The blue also works really well here with the beige. This wallet is available in several colors, but this is the best one!

Back view of the plastic box it came in with description. 3 color palette wallet!

Frontal view. Size 11cm x 9cm x 3cm.

SQUIRREL!

This wallet is made of faux/synthetic leather. It has a detachable card holder with 6 pockets. Then you had 4 basic slot pockets for more cards. There's one clear section for ID or what ever you want. I put a card there.

Interior view.

Inside the coin pocket is 2 more slots for cards!

Shinzi Katoh definitely made his mark all over this wallet

I do not have a shot of the money section but it's large enough for US dollar bills. Overall I am really happy with this purchase. Of course a lady wallet from Coach would be nice haha!

On a side note:
Shopping on Ebay is a bit tricky. The cheap ones from sellers in China tend to always be knockoffs and are made poorly. I have learned my lesson. Don't be fooled by the images in the description.
I'm sure I could have gotten it for cheaper but I rather not use a shopping service for one item.
Check where your seller is from! (not exactly fool proof but the more pricier ones tend to be real). If anything there's always Ebay Buyer Protection.

Yay!

Insufficient Space on LINEPlay Quick Fix

I missed the Monday weekly post! I was busy drawing.
Anyways this is an all text post because I could not catch the screenshot for this problem.

So the big problem I have been coming across is the "insufficient space" message. It says something on the lines of you need to free up space to continue playing.
LINEPlay is the only app with this problem so far.

This happened 2 times since I downloaded LINEPlay.
The first time around, the application was saved to the phone. I had enough storage space so I was not sure what the problem was.
I cleared my RAM and cache and nothing happened. I even tried restarting it multiple times after each clear. Nothing worked and eventually the message crashed my game. I could no longer do anything.

So.....I just wanted to share my quick fix (not really quick) for this problem.

UNINSTALL IT then reinstall it!
Do not fear losing your account, because you have to sign up with LINE Naver first anyways. This game is pretty much all server side.
Second move it to your sd card storage preferably something with more than 2GBs.

I came across this problem even after I moved the app to the sd card despite having a lot of space. I uninstalled then reinstalled it again and it worked.

That is my quick fix.
*Update*
The best solution is get a cache clearer app.
(Do not root your phone unless you know what you are doing.)

Hope this helps a bit.
