Had another really great year as a guest at Gallifrey One Doctor Who Convention!

So many awesome costumes people brought this year. I really loved how people picked interesting and iconic costumes from all eras of Doctor Who.

I got to take a photo with the really real 8th Doctor console which was restored and brought to Gallifrey this year by Paul Salamoff, Brian Uiga and Bob Mitsch. I have a particular love for TARDIS consoles, so this was really exciting to me!

Camille Coduri (Jackie Tyler in Doctor Who) randomly saw me dressed as Rose Tyler and said, “It’s my daughter!” which kinda made my day. Haha. I also got to take a photo with Mark Sheppard who is awesome in just about every sci-fi show ever.

Both of the panels I was on, “The State of SF TV & Film” and “Who-turama”, were really well attended and people asked really great questions! Awesome!

I was really happy with how well the art gallery went for me this year, HUGE thanks to those of you who bought my prints and originals! Y’all rule.

I enjoyed wearing my new Doctor Who Tea Dress, my Rose Tyler Empty Child costume and my River Song Day of the Moon costume.

I had a lot of fun playing around with my new camera, too. Here’s some of my favorites.
If you scroll down the to very bottom of the post (here), more photos that I didn’t put directly on the post. You can also find more photos on LAWEEKLY. Enjoy!

Hey folks! This is my new piece (Amy and the Eleventh Doctor having tea and Jammie Dodgers on the TARDIS) for Gallifrey One Doctor Who Convention in LA, NEXT WEEKEND Feb 17-19. It’s a really fun con, so if you like Doctor Who or Torchwood or Sci-Fi, head out!

I’m returning as a guest this year and will be at the very least at these places:
“Autographs” — Saturday, 1:00 PM, Meridian Room (I’ll be doing sketch demos, give aways and autographs)

“The State of SF TV & Film” — Saturday, 2:00 PM, Chicago/Dallas Rooms (likely talking about Futurama and things I think are pretty that explode…)

“Who-turama” — Saturday, 3:30 PM, Scottsdale Room (Behind the scenes on Futurama and Doctor Who Easter Eggs!)

Also several of my prints including this one will be available in the Art Gallery/ Print Shop!

So say hi!

My friend Nicole had a great Groupon for Chado in Little Tokyo. I’d never been to that particular Chado before, it was lovely!  I dressed up fancy-pants because I COULD. Here’s a few photos I took on my new Olympus 4/3rds e-pl3 with 14-42mm lens.

The fabric is inspired by Doctor Who and has satsumas, Jammie Dodgers, pocket watches, Time Lord message cube, pudding, biscuits, and various sonic screwdrivers. :)
The quote is from the older Doctor Who episode “The Creature from the Pit”. The Fourth Doctor explains his victory: “Well, to be fair I did have a couple of gadgets which he probably didn’t, like a teaspoon and an open mind.”

Here’s a shot of a couple colorways I did of the fabric. If you really like a particular color and you definitely want it, let me know and I’ll get it up for sale. (I have to order a swatch to get it put up.) Right now only the blue color is up for sale immediately.

I made a jumperskirt dress in about 3 days inspired by Emily Temple Cute and Innocent World dresses. The middle pin-tucked bust section is removable, the straps cross in the back and the back is elastic shirred. This is a jsk pattern that I drafted myself roughly based on some other dresses I had or had seen.

Please excuse quick coordinate, I just finished the dress this morning and couldn’t wait to take a picture! :)

on lookbook here and on DA here.
