Moved... and things...

Okay... okay... I know... I know... it's been awhile!

So much has changed. I dropped my life in Atlanta, Georgia. I moved out to California in April to celebrate my Birthday! I'm just South of L.A. at the Beach. Loving life here! I was on the East Coast my whole life... and now I'm ready for something new and my new journey begins.

One of the best things about this is that I'm close to all things Junko! Got to meet her last month at Gallery Nucleus for her opening reception of "Cinderalla".

Purchased page 79 from the Manga. LOVE IT!!! Also you got a free mini print with purchase so I chose "Fairy Godmother"!!!

Plus while I was there I got her to sign a few of my prints AND I won the grand prize raffle drawing for that night. I got the ARTIST PROOF silk screen print of "Zombie Sisters", #9 of 10!!! Woo hoo!!! This needs to get framed!!!

More items go to Ebay

I'm going to be holding onto a bunch of the artwork that I own by Junko. But I'll be slowly listing my toys and other doo-dads by her!

Tonight I'm going to start 7 toy auctions!

I will be listing them at 6pm EASTERN time!!!

Thanks gang!

Kaori + Keiko go to Ebay!

Okay... so with some deep soul searching, Atlanta is not the place for me... I visited San Diego in January and fell in love. The place is simply magic!

So now I've quit my job and I trying to get out there A.S.A.P. I've got a few job offers on the table where I need to get my butt out to California NOW!

I'll be driving my MINI cooper across country... so I'm raising funds for expenses on the trip. So I've come to terms with letting Kaori + Keiko go. Who knows, maybe I'll find another set down the road... but right now, getting to California is more important.

If you search "Junko Mizuno Keiko" on Ebay.... you'll find her there! I'm selling her WAY less than what I paid for her. So don't miss out! Or just click on the link below...

2009 Junko Mizuno Pure Trance 14 Mini Figures

Following the Third World War, humankind left the toxic surface of the Earth and built an underground city to survive. A serious social problem emerged in this new society: hyperorexia, or severe overeating, a side effect of the Pure Trance lifesustaining pill. This dreamy science fiction fantasy — a sexy story of catfights, alien safari adventures, evil experimentation, and a girl who dreams of becoming a pop idol singer—is the longawaited debut graphic novel of famous Japanese manga artist Junko Mizuno. Pure Trance breaks every stereotype of shojo manga (girls' comics). This is the 14 piece set designed by Junko Mizuno released in June 2009 and produced by KidRobot.
