Anna checks in…
Hey guys!
Happy November!
For those of you who aren’t familiar with me, my name is Anna San, I am a full time Graphic Design student with focus on web design. I am the owner of EverythingAnna.com and it is my intention to one day become a full fledged manga artist. You can also keep up with me at : deviantArt, twitter and Myspace.
Since my last update many things have transpired. Many good, and some bad. Bad being that my contractor pay was cut $2 so I am currently making below minimum wage.
Good as in this past week I found out that Michigan has an anime convention! Some of you may know of it already. It is Youmacon (Michigan’s First and Only Anime Convention). If everything goes well over the course of the year Everything Anna will be at Youmacon 2008 in the artist alley. If not… I’ll wander around like a dweeb with n00b tatooed on my forehead (don’t quote me on that!). Brrr… Just the thought of that sends shivers down my spine!
Everything Anna officially came out of construction on October 21st and the site is fully operational. I am still tweaking page content and as for my portfolio… I have all the images uploaded, but… I changed something and now I have to go back through all of them and resave them. My lack of finality really kills me sometimes.
My comic site is now online as the coding has been finished. As soon as I start posting on it, I will pass on the link. 
I finished the commission for Maru at KimonoGirlSite.com. Took me 8 months but I finally finished! (You can find the pic on my Everything Anna, deviantArt or Kimono Girl Site)
I picked up 3 manga books in solid Japanese several weeks back. D-Gray Man vol. 1 & 3 and one I haven’t a clue how to sound out. I was so thrilled to have a chance to actually purchase them, that I didn’t consider just how little Japanese I know… But at a buck and a half what otaku could pass it up??? 
I found Fruits (Japanese street fashion book) at Borders today! At $30 I couldn’t purchase it, but I enjoyed looking through it ; even more so, Fresh Fruits. 
It was pleasing to finally see what the forum chatter was about.
Minor setback… My webcomic Anna128 has been delayed due to my school/work schedule. First comic is to be released in January. Sorry!
Tales of Bren Bunny and Tiger Bunny… just unmotivated to actually turn the notebook sketches into clean, scanable, panels. No amount of prodding will make me move any faster. Money might though. Mmmm…. money… lol.
Thanks for your continued support and patience!

Grand Opening of EverythingAnna.com!
Everything Anna officially opened with a new layout on Sunday October 21, 2007. The site itself is in is baby stage as it is not much more than a domain with a layout. I am working to remedy that by going through my files and pulling site appropriate content. Due to the monstrocity that is my file system, that in of itself is quite a feat.
I have three things that I know are going to show up on EA over the next few days and I’ll let you in on those updates to be:
- New sub folder in Comics
- Addition to Commission
- Several additions to Classwork‘s Illustration
One more thing to keep an eye out for, is additions to the webcomics list.
Thanks for reading!
