Phoenix Comicon 2012

Let's just start back up with May.

I found out in April that a photo shoot project I'd worked on last year with photographer Aaron Flores and actors Kevin Tye and Richard Anderson had a few shots chosen to display in a gallery all through May.  I went to the gallery opening on the 2nd and got to see the finished pieces for the first time.
I am doing some photo shoots before the Phoenix Comicon- which is May 24-27th.  I will not have a table this year but will have a few exclusives and will be signing at different tables throughout the con.

This Saturday- May 12th, at noon I will be making a short appearance at PCP for their re-grand opening and 10 year anniversary! There will be artists, hot cosplay ladies, authors and give aways.

Then, at night, I am going to be walking in the Madame Trapeze fashion show in Phoenix.  The show will have SWORD eating, ballerinas, belly dancing, spiked snowcones and a plethora of fashion designers.  Join me and the ladies as we walk in a circus steam-punk fashion show.  All designs done by the lovely Amanda Tucker of Modified Minds.  http://www.facebook.com/events/425046980858246/

My May

Ok, let's start with April.  It was the 1st time in a LONG time that I was booked, working, shooting or filming every single day of the month.  EVERY day.  It was the best!
I may have the chance to audition for what would be the biggest production of my career.  So, I have really been focusing.  I got together with a good friend and talented photographer, Fausto Hernandez (www.FaustoHernandezPhotography.com) and I got new head shots,

some full body shots done and have been practicing all new monologues.  If I get the audition I'll let you all know when I head to L.A.  If I don't, at least I have fresh pictures and material! 

I also did a shoot for the cover of Big Dog Ink's 'The Legend Of Oz 4' 

which will be debuting at the Phoenix Comicon May 24-27th.  My cover is limited to 100 so make sure to stop by and grab a copy! 

I also got to interview Mike DeBalfo about his Soulfire announcement! He gave Comicbooked.com the FIRST interview about him working with Aspen on the 4th volume.  I have a short version here but a much longer, more in depth interview will be posted on www.comicbooked.com later next week.

I know that I am forgetting a lot of stuff--- and I still haven't even gotten into MAY!
I have to run for the day but when I come back, I'll have news about a few upcoming premieres, a new radio show, conventions and more!!
What did you busy yourselves with in April?

Mug shots

YAY! I finally have new headshots! Thanks to the incredibly talented Fausto Hernandez, I now have a bunch of brand new shots to work with and to give to casting directors world wide.  Haha.. yeah, I know.
I am going to go through the pictures before I post them....but here is a screen shot of some of the images I have to choose from... this will be fun! ^_^

I have 2 more shoots this week-- 1 will be for my Dorothy Gale Cosplay and the other is for a few different things.....1 being--- more PINUP!!!

(maybe an outfit like that)

I've been working out too.  I got up this morning and did Ab Ripper x immediately.  Gotta work on those abs.

<-----------oh God do I want....

I also have some really great news regarding Comicbooked.com! As you know, I am the lead for the cosplay division and I have some interviews lined up this week as well that will have your jaw laying on the floor.  I will also be bringing you steady pictures and will be picking up some new writers to join my team as well.  **If costuming or cosplay is your thing, send me a message and we can discuss what you may bring to the team.**

That's all for now-- but don't fret-- this week is a BUSY one.  I'll have loads more to update you all on.

Now, go do something random and take pictures of it.  Why not?

Hey hey~~  Can you believe we're already 3 months into the year? Im thankful that I've stayed busy enough for it to fly by...but...Jesus! March!

Since my last post, I finished filming in It Kills You -- a supernatural/drama short film.  This is going to go to festival runs so if you attend any after April of this year, you just may see meeeee.
Other news...let's see--  MEN WITH NO LIVES! This is the radio show that I am on every Saturday along with Michael Flores, Dan 'Dice' , Kevin Tye, Dustin Hale and different guests weekly.  We talk about all of the bullshit that's going on in the world and throw in some music during our break.  We had a live show at O'Kelly's Bar for last weeks show.  Make sure to visit the site because there is a special note about what we are bringing to you and you can also chat with us there when we are recording ^_^

I've been cooking a lot--

Oh yeah, that's 6 wings, 2 of each baked in the above sauces.  I had another 6 giganto wings so I threw them in the crock pot with seasonings.  Don't be jealous.
I started working out again-- FINALLY.  I can't even explain how much better I feel.  I'd been eating so much sugar too-- bleah.
I love working on my stomach (no, not my ass.. ssd...) Let me scavange my HD to see if I have a reference pic of where I want to be.....
Ah- here we go

That's where I want to be.  Here is where I am:

So, I don't have TOO much work but I definitely want to be toned up again.  Damn you, winter and all of your comfort foods! Who else is getting ready for the summer? What are your favorite workouts and what do you use to stay motivated? Seriously, I want to know. 

So far I have 4 NEW cosplay outfits for Phoenix comicon which means lots of photo shoots! Things like that are my motivation.  

I'll be back soon with updates! 

Bye bye Bye

Amazing AZ con interview with Tom Hutchison

I promised interviews from the Amazing Arizona Con and here is number 1!
This is my interview with Creator and writer Tom Hutchison of Big Dog Ink.  Since I cosplayed Dorothy Gale from his Legend of Oz series, I thought it only fitting to start off the interviews with the creator himself.

Victoria Paege Interviews Big Dog Ink - The best home videos are here

I'll be bringing you more interviews next week!

Until then make sure to catch me Saturday Nights on Men With No Lives http://www.menwithnolives.com/  where we discuss news, entertainment and any other bullshit that's going on in the world. 

Amazing Arizona Con 2012

ANOTHER convention has come and gone.  This time, I was at the Amazing Arizona Con in Mesa, Arizona and I got to go dressed as Big Dog Ink's character: Dorothy Gale.

I was thrilled to be able to portray Dorothy from Legend of Oz: The Wicked West http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Legend-of-Oz-The-Wicked-West/137837859619265 (Thank you so much to Grant Brummett for the incredible photos!)

I spent the weekend bouncing from table to table, visiting with old and making new friends and even have some new interviews to show you all!!! FINALLY!!!  

The interviews have been transferred so now it's just up to editing.  I also have a written interview, along with a review coming up from one of the artists/creators that was at the con.  I won't spoil the surprise yet.  I'll let you know who it is when I have it posted.  

I have some big news about an Aspen character that I have been DYING to cosplay.  A few more weeks may be all you need to wait for that costume.  I won't even be waiting for a con to show her off.     

Who is your favorite female Aspen character?????? 

At the con I got to speak with Raven Gregory about a new series that he is going to be releasing.  That will be covered in the intervew that I post too.  I had a really good time at the convention and it was great to see how well received Legend of Oz was! We sold EVERY SINGLE issue!  Tom Hutchison, the creator of the story, was at the table all weekend, along with the very talented colorist, Kate Finnegan.  We held raffles giving away banners, comics, prints and more every day at 4 and had a fantastic location.  I got to hang out by Mike DeBalfo -- he draws like this: 

his wife (who also happens to be the drawing I chose ^_^),

Tony Parker, who draws like THIS :

who just released Dead Mans Run with Greg Pak and Aspen Comics.  Aspen, with Joe Benitez, J.T. Krul, Frank Mastromauro, Peter Steigerwald...... 

Nei, who is sexy AND tremendously talented-- this is hers:

and more people, like Pop Culture Paradise who brought along Chandler Riggs (Carl, from The Walking Dead)

I was very lucky to be a part of this years convention.  Again ^_^  Jimmy put on a great show!  

I seem to be getting very busy again (fucks yess) so maybe I will be making some more convention appearances before Phoenix.  I know I'll have a lot more comic/pop culture type news in the mean time.  I came back for the first show of the year with Men with No Lives http://www.livestream.com/cazadorproductions last Saturday and will be reporting every Saturday live, in studio.  You can watch, tweet with us and call in to bullshit.  

I know how becoming those headphones are.  Bom-chicka-woww wow. 

Peace! 

New Year, New projects!

Happy New year!

I know I'm a little late on that one but hey, it's still the first week.  This year I am going to bust my ass work wise.  Already, on this 2nd day of the year, I have 2 photo shoots scheduled for Thursday, a NEW cosplay costume debuting on the 6th, 3 radio interviews scheduled..... and more. 

I am also back on Cazador Radio http://www.menwithnolives.com/ with Michael Flores (director of Western X), Dan Narciso, Dustin Hale and Kevin Tye.  Every Saturday from 8pm-10 you can listen in, chat while we are live and watch our shenanigans on livestream.  This is an adult show, so you should keep that in mind if you're streaming from your phone at work....dumbass. 

I did a pin up shoot with Pierre Price right before Christmas. I have posted some on my Facebook but  I am going to have a new print from this shoot available at conventions that I am not going to post online.  YAY! **these photos are untouched.  Any negative comments are therefore invalid.****

I am writing for Comicbooked.com and will be doing some more work this year with Comic Book Divas.  I'll be posting links everywhere.  

This week I will be at the Amazing Arizona Comic con at the Mesa convention center.http://amazingarizonacomiccon.com/  The convention runs from the 6th-8th.  Guests include Robert Kirkman, Aspen Comics (with Tony Parker!), Zenescope, Big Dog Inc, Shelby Robertson (American Discord), Jesse James Comics and many many more.  I will be debuting a NEW cosplay outfit for one of the above companies.  Teaser pics will be following this week.  ^_^

Also, there will be many exclusives, like this print the talented Shelby Robertson drew up.  This print is limited to 50 and features myself, Cosplay sensation Jessica Nigri, and Chandler Riggs from the AMC hit , The Walking Dead.  

See the big zombie on the top left...the one drooling on everything? That's me.  Hahaha,  Rawrrrrrrgggggggg!!! 

I also really want to get stuff up on my Deviant Art.  I've had my account for 2 years and just now have started using it.  Artists... add me and give me your pages! You can see my stuff here http://vpaege.deviantart.com/

I've got a LOT of work to get done so I'll leave you with that.  Have a wonderful New Year! I'll be around.  <3
