My favourite store in the world is Daiso.
Daiso is a Japanese chain of ¥100 stores (about $2.80 in AUD, apparently) which I adore due to all the obscenely cute shit they sell.
Let’s not be coy; I do adore most- if not all- dollar stores. Truthfully the really junky ones are often the most fun. The fascination is similar with opp-shops. What can I say? I love hoarding random shit that I have no logical use for under the vague pretence of sourcing costume supplies.
Fun Fact:
When constructing these:
I hot glued them to my hands via the fingernails.
The cover for Separation Anxiety has gone up as a marker for the fact that this is officially a thing that is going to happen:
July, just as promised!
Small announcement:
Separation Anxiety will be sort of starting on Monday the 1st of July.
That is under a week away. What do I mean by sort of? Well, you’ll find that out in less than a week.
The final gallery page, Synthetic Soul Corp. went up last week! The Asylum is now at a place which we can call, for better or for worse, “complete”.
Deepest apologies to those with a slow connection or utilising mobile devices, there are quite a lot of images on some of the gallery pages (Soul Corp. in particular has twice as many images as any of the other pages), as such, loading times can be a bit of a pain. In the future lazy loading is a thing that might happen, but for the time being I’m kind of burned out and will be taking a break to work on costumes and Separation Anxiety (which is looking good for release next month).
Three more pages have been finished in the gallery, they are: Fashion (which reminded me how much I hate moodboards- almost as much as I hate Fridays, though back then it was probably even worse because I was actively having to work on them and Fridays may have even been a relief), Other/Uncategorised (which kind of draws attention to the fact that I was experiencing some sort of existential crisis between the years of ’02-’05), and Winged Dogs (featuring my oldest and least consistent characters).
This leaves us with just one unfinished page to go! I am hoping to have it all done and uploaded early next week.
Little known fact: the main reason I decided to move the Asylum to its own domain was because of this stupid webcomic project I’ve been procrastinating on for longer than I’m willing to admit.
Well okay, so it was also partially because people often told me that they read the .fathen part of the address as Fathen rather than Fat Hen and fuck you guys! I didn’t even choose that part, you know? I was just working with what was available at the time!
Story of my life.
