Pin-up and Comic con!

Hey guys! Happy, late, Independence day! What did you do?  I have had an incredible start to the month!!  Before I tell you about the first week of July- let me finish my last post about June!
So, to recap, The first 2 weeks of June: Worbla, x-23, Dorothy Gale Photoshoot and new prints, Cosplay Calendar, Phoenix Comicon, 'Salvation' premiere.
After the premier of 'Salvation' - which I can't wait for you all to see!! -- I went to Las Vegas!! I drove to Vegas with artists  Mike DeBalfo, Milen Parvanov, Rob and Derrick. -- Can I describe our ride? I couldn't begin to describe it.
Car rental- $400
slim Jim- 1.39
Driving across the desert with a truck full of ridiculously hilarious comic men- -priceless.

At the convention I, of course, was running around in different outfits-- on Friday, I was Wednesday.
Saturday, I was Dorothy Gale and Sunday, I was all about hanging out in DeBalfo's Pin-up shirt.

THIS shirt

You see....we were in Vegas.  So a Sunday morning was very difficult to wake up and get ready for.  I did it.  I even walked around in my new favorite sparkle shoes..... but I was feeling the partying of the weekend.   Also that weeked I got to visit with the lovely ladies of the calendar. We did some Cosplay Calendar signings and I had a nice set up right next to Mike DeBalfo, Ryan Kincaid and Big Dog Ink. Jimmy Jay, who runs the Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con is deserving of more than a generous amount of 'thank you's.' It was a fun and fantastic show.
NEXT----  I went home and didn't even have time to unpack before I was off to LA again! This time not for a premiere of mine but one of a friends.  When I got to LA I got new headshots from one of my FAVORITE PEOPLE EVER -- Larry Alan!
After that I was on my way to the LA Film Festival to see 'The Conjuring!" Sadly, the only picture I have of that night is the same one I posted on my FB and Instagram (but if you don't follow me there-- this will be new)

Before the movie with Director James Wan, Fangoria staff and actor Matt Currie

There are about a million reviews out for this movie so I won't post a long one here.  However, if you like horror or even thriller type films, this is one to watch.  You don't even have to worry about gore.  It'll just make you pee your pants because it's so scary.  I loved it.  

THEN-- after head shots and a fantastic premiere, I got to meet up with the beautiful Toni Darling.  Did you know that Toni is the one responsible for putting that sexy Cosplay Calendar together? She's also going to be at SDCC with artist Erik Arreaga at table E12! Go see her, Rosanna Rocha and Ani-Mia! As for the calendars-- You should really go ahead and order one if you haven't already.

Go on.  

I'll wait--    http://popfury.storenvy.com/

I can't believe it's the end of June!!  So much for me getting my schedule up for you! Well-- I'll backtrack a bit and then I'll post prints that you can order too!
The past 2 months have been a blur.  The only way for me to let you know about it is to just throw you all in-
here we go.
In May, I brought you my new Dorothy Gale

I started playing with worbla and made some cool props-

Then, I was invited to be a part of a 16 month cosplay calendar, including 17 cosplayers that would be sold and signed at the upcoming Phoenix Comic Con.  Score!

I joined with the amazing ladies- and together with Toni Darling and Big Chris Art, we were able to bring you epicness for your wall. 

You can still order the calendar, which started this month- popfury.storenvy.com

At the end of May was the Phoenix Comicon.  I was running around everywhere like usual.  I got a hot new shirt from Mike DeBalfo

and got to see Jean Arrow!! (I lub this girl)

stopped by to see Peculiar Magpie and Amanda Tucker, owner of Modified Minds-to grab my outfit for the Geek Prom,

hung out at the cosplay calendar booth,

Always a great job, Justin..

got body painted by Mark Greenawalt for The Villikon Chronicles signing, and got to meet the creator of the book and film universe, Bryan J. Kinnard :) 

Me and Mark

and crowned the winners of the Kids Need To Read Geek Prom along with Peter Steigerwald! 

After the Phoenix Comicon I had a week to get ready for LA.  The feature I shot in last year, Salvation, premiered at the Dances with Films film festival and I got to go and join the rest of the cast at the viewing and Q and A.  

Yuuuup, that was my outfit....and yes- that's a bodysuit. BAM!

Q & A after 'Salvation'

One week after the premiere I went to Vegas for the Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con!! Want to know what happened and what more I have upcoming? Stay tuned for post #2!!!  

So much! Yay May!!

So even though I have so much going on I can't' see straight, I think it only fair to do my best to share with you. <br>
This month I'm booked with one thing or another every day.... Which means lots of pictures!! <br>
Lets just start with this week.  On April 30th I went to visit some friends (Larry and Tara from Larry Alan Photography) and it turned into a night of photo shooting. First, we set up to do a piece that Larry is featuring on his blog, called 10 Frames. We choose 3 outfits, Tara did my makeup and we shot. It was fun, I danced, I screwed around and it felt wonderful! After that shoot, an idea hit Larry and Curtis Lee, a friend that happened to also be visiting, myself and Tara got down and dirty for what turned out to be one of my favorite shoots to date.
We veered away from funky, fresh, pretty, bright and went right to the depths of a madmans soul. Mad (man?)
The set can be viewed at his website, with links to his twitter and Facebook. http://larryalanphoto.com/blog/?p=496
This guy is seriously amazeballs.
After that shoot, I got my Dorothy Gale cosplay on and did an all new photoshoot!! I'm going to be selling 2 prints from this set at conventions and online so choose your favorite and It may be a winner :)
Now, I'm working on my first Worbla piece. I've never molded our worked with plastics before.... but I figure, the more practice, the better I'll get. Plus, I want to bring you all new costumes!! I'm missing Free Comic Book Day because of this piece so it better turn out good!!
I'm going to post pics of my progress throughout the day. I'm doing a Disney villain shoot tomorrow morning at 4am so this piece will have to be finished. I'm going to load pictures soon here and on my instagram. You can follow me at @pocketsized21
If you have worked with worbla or plastics before and have any typos for me, please let me know!
Also, I'm posting from my tablet so please excuse whatever weird formatting the paragraphs and pictures may be in. Deal with it!

The first 8 weeks

Alright 2013!!!!
So, since the beginning of the year I have been working my ass off.  I have been presented with so many opportunities that my head is still spinning.  It seems to me that a few of my friends have also been having an astronomical start to the year--- which makes me wonder how far it's reaching.  How is YOUR year? What good news has come your way? Or is this not your year? Believe me, I had 2 very bad, sad, thisIsLifeYouCan'tEscapeIt years, so I believe this is a little upswing.  (YAY!!) It's all cyclical, ya know?
Alright!! Starting off my 2013 was the news that I left Cazador Radio.  I spent a year co-hosting but my time was up.  I decided to focus on my career in acting and it's been paying off.  The first weekend of January, I went to Albuquerque with the owner of the Saboten Con (the largest Anime convention in AZ), to promote a new anime convention that he will be bringing to New Mexico called the Sabaku Con.   I got to meet and share a table with the talented Armand Villavert-- Armands FB -- got to do a little cosplay and was filmed for a documentary :)

Artist Shelby Robertson

 I loves me some Nei Ruffino

'The Crow' creator James O'Barr

Also, Java magazine released their January issue and the pictorial that I shot in snow bowl to raise awareness for rescued Greyhounds, was published.  

After the convention, I auditioned and was cast as the lead in a short film called 'Draw' alongside actor Richard Anderson.  My hair for the role is a little different so I got my hair stripped and dyed red/brown.  

RED!

NEW! How do you like?

Alright, alright....

you get the idea.

In between prep and filming I haven't slowed down. I did a shoot for blunt wraps (haha...I know)-- but here are some behind the scenes-

 I went to Venice for an audition on Valentines day so I got to spend the day at the beach.  That was my mini vacation, haha ^_^

Thursday, the 21st was an event called Geeks Night Out where I was a guest along with these amazing and talented people:

I had 3 new prints with me --

Prints are $10 each plus shipping.  Send me an email to order (victoria@comicbooked.com)

I am also reworking 2 older cosplay outfits, making them a bit more complete. I will have prints available for those soon....but will be posting pics as well.

If all goes well, I will be doing a trading card set with another company, starting as the lead in a new feature (can't tell you much about that one yet, unfortunately) and will be doing some voice over work.  

I know I'm probably missing some things-- but I won't stay away so long this time so I'll have more to post.  Don't you worry, there shouldn't be a shortage of 'NEW' anytime soon.  

Email me if you want prints and let me know what you'd like to see more of from me in the future- who knows, maybe I can make it happen.
