In Memory of Tian-Tian

Tian-Tian, we'll always be thinking about you. This morning was tough and painful, and you finally left us this afternoon. Rest in peace with a smile now. Remember that the flashlight and drawing I sent you are meant to chase away your fears of the dark. I told you, that where there is darkness, there will always be a light.

We miss you. I miss you. A lot.

May whoever's up there take sympathy on a little eight-year-old boy. If there really is reincarnation, I hope he comes back as a normal, healthy boy without cancer or any other illness - and grow up to live a full, happy life.

That, or stay in heaven where there will be no pain and suffering anymore.

Sincerely,

Nobody ♥

Thackery: Hey, what are you up to now?



I'm writing a congrats card for Layla. Since I can't go to the service today, I thought this was the next best thing to do.

Thackery: I feel like writing something now too.

Thackery: The pen, *mon cherise?

The William Penn? You know, you can't ask too much from me.

Thackery: Sorry... Please and thank you?

Thackery: That ought to do it.

Thackery: *muttering* ...and Thackery...

Here, I think I should put the card in the envelope.

Thackery: Wait. Put this sticker on the back too. I was saving it for something like this.

It's a... Tsuka-pyon, you like Hello Kitty? Are you also some kind of secret Drag Queen too?

Thackery: Don't get your hopes up, kid.

Thackery and I apologize for not being able to go to your baptism, however, we still wanted to express our congratulations! We luv you!

Sincerely,

Nobody ♥

*mon cherise - "my cherry" in French, but don't be fooled. Thack doesn't really know French; he only knows what he thinks are pick-up lines.

Morning Gaze

Tsuka-pyon was staring at me rather peculiarily one morning when I told him that I felt like taking him out for another photoshoot. He's not much of a photo-hog - it's more like I photo-hog him, and then he gets sick of me. But anyway, he was rather cooperative with me when I set him up against an old chair and gave him a pillow to pose with. Not that he knew what to do besides just sitting there. He's not a very creative fellow, but don't tell him I said that. :)

Antique Mosaics

These are just a few pictures of Thackery/Tsukasa posing with some objects we found around the house. I really would like to take him to Longwood Gardens since summer is not quite finished yet, but this photo shoot and the flower photos will have to do for now.

My Heart's Garden

I decided to take Thackery outside with me today around noon for a photoshoot in the flower patches out back. Unfortunately, it was not easy posing him as the wind was too strong. Plus, I wish I owned a digital SLR - it would have let me adjust the Depth of Scale and maybe even the aperture. The sun was really bright.

Anyway, I picked a few of my better shots, but they're all still pretty much half-crap. We were just getting ready for summer. Wish us better luck next time! Have a wonderful summer, everyone.

Nobody ♥

Saying Hello

We're just saying hello.

So, hello.

Mini-Comics Ctd.

Yesterday, I promised extra pictures on Volks' Tokyo Shounen Monogatari (Tokyo Boys' Story) kids. Well, here goes. I think I'll even repost Tsukasa's comics as well just to make this entry more complete. Anyway, I'll go in the order that each character made their debut - and post the comics/art of the ones that I have respectively. (Ps. When I type "Dollpa" it's actually the abbreviation for "Doll Party," which people commonly use in the doll community.)

Shirou Tachibana - Dollpa 9 (May 5, 2003) - 2nd version came out in Another Yourself Limited Release in October 2006.



Tsukasa Konoe - Dollpa 10 (December 7, 2003) - no 2nd version available currently.




Isao Nanjou - Dollpa 11 (August 1, 2004) - 2nd version came out in limited numbers from Haute Doll Magazine issue December 2004.




Jun Tachibana - Dollpa 12 (December 5, 2004) - was also available in limited numbers from HD Magazine - no 2nd version available currently.



Yukinojo Sawaragi - Dollpa 14 (December 25, 2005) - no 2nd version currently.


Olivia Morgan - Fashion Doll Quarterly Dollpa in NYC (July 29, 2006) - no 2nd version currently. I don't have any artwork on her as of yet... Sorry! Anyway, most of the comics only come exclusively with the extra limited items. So it makes sense that Shirou and Olivia don't have their own comics.

Extra information about the characters in the story: Shirou and Tsukasa are best friends; Isao and Jun are semi-dating each other; and it's said that Yuki and Olivia are an item. However, it seems that the Tsukasa and Jun pairing is also a very popular theory among fans.

To close off this entry about their comics and artwork, I will leave you guys with a colored picture. Pardon the quality though, I would sharpen the image if I had the tools. But please enjoy.


Sincerely,

Nobody ♥
