Are you attending another convention, Paco??
But you just were at one some weeks ago!!
Oh yes, I said once "I need to choose which will be my annual furry convention", at first I thought it was going to be Anthrocon, but then MFF was full of friends, and then I thought maybe two conventions per year, but each year I've been adding more and more, OMG!! I'm completely a Furry Trash now!!
But well, now this is my life! Furry fandom is my big family, the Paco from 10 years ago couldn't believe how many awesome friends I have now.
Talking about 10 years, yeah, this year is my 10th anniversary on the furry fandom. Sounds few years for all my friends who are veterans, and a lot for my younger friends, but these has been 10 years I'd definitely won't change, my life took a radical turn since I joined this amazing comunity. Even if I've been involved in some few dramas (I think nobody can save from that here), and I've had some bad experience, I love the furry fandom so much, there would have been no other way to have obtained so much happiness and so many good friends, that otherwise I wouldn't have known.
Also is the 20th anniversary of my character Parinton (better known as PACO) the panda, yup, I created him 10 years before I joined the furry fandom. At first as an imaginary friend and now as my own sona and my spiritual guide. The panda I love the most (As same as his little brother Nemorio, who nowadays I've barely drawn, oh gosh, I should draw that little panda more often, he's gonna be very jealous)
So many reasons to celebrate!! So let's do it going to many furry cons!!! X3
Next week is turn for Texas Furry Fiesta, in Dallas. So if you are attending there, surely you'll see walking around a silly dude disguised as panda, don't hesitate to say hi!
As always, be respectful. I have many experiences with weird people and creepers, don't be one of those. I'm always nice and kind with everyone, I love playing silly in fursuit with people and try to fight my shyness when I'm out in fursuit and talk with who is up for a little chat. Let's support this great positive attitude that we should have as furries with other furries.
Be ready because at conventions nowadays is one of the few oportunities to get a commission from me, I'll be at the artists alley ONLY on Friday and I'll take 4 commissions during the con, and when I fill them all, I'll take commissions to take home, digital or traditional. (I'll remain closed for the upcoming months for regular commissions online).
Here are some advices I want to give you if you are planning to get a commission from me at TFF:
►Commissions during the con (the 4 slots) will be very simple, no background, but it will look awesome I promise, extra characters this time will be charged.
►Be thinking about a good idea that I can work for you, if you don't have one, you can leave it up to me n__n I don't have problem suggesting poses.
►Have prepared your reference sheet (any reference of your character works for me, no matter if is not properly a ref sheet), PREFERABLY PRINTED!! If you can't print it, you can have it ready saved on your phone and I'll take a picture to your screen. Do not trust the internet of the convention center, so don't try to find your reference on FA at the moment. That almost never works.
►If you want me to draw you on your own sketchbook, try to be one of the firsts to get to me, early times the artists alley is opened. (Lately at lasts conventions (BLFC, AC, MFF, FC) my queue has been filled in around 20 minutes, and this time I'm only taking 4, so really,...be quick!)
►I'll strictly work at the con only for 4 slots, don't make me work during the convention out of time the artists alley T_T So if you are not one of the 4 first slots, I'll take your commission home and mail it to you later (in case it is traditional)
I almost never check internet during my trips, rarely I use twitter only to update something about the convention. But an easier way to be updating constantly and also it is really easy you can be checking is Telegram. I have a Telegram Channel where you can follow my path, and I'll be updating with news, emergency announcements, spontaneous changes, the day and time I'll be in the artists alley, sometimes pictures, etc etc

10 years on the fandom

Total Eclipse: A Big Odyssey
Many of you may saw my update on my Telegram Channel about me witnessing the total eclipse from past April 8, 2024. From Mazatlán, Sinaloa, México. In few words, such an experience! I went through so many things before and after it, but it was completely worthy in the end. I had anticipated all these plans with so long in advance, so many things were already paid and very well planned, but it is true that, despite everything is considered planned, definitely not everything always goes according to plan, and in this journal you will understand that almost nothing went according to plan. Blink-182 Eep! What this punk rock band is related with the total eclipse? Because attending their concert was also in my schedule for this trip, and it was something I had planned way in advance. Originally, I was going to see them in March 29th, 2023, at Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City, I had purchased my tickets to see them in 2022, two years ago, and indeed their tickets were by sale almost
Europa, NordicFuzzCon and TFF 2024
Long ago I hadn’t done such a big trip like this one. It was done during a time it was not very wise for me to make such a trip, due all the financial situations I was living, but all the plans were sudden and I wanted to make a sacrifice as long as living such memories. I had to be working constantly during my trip to be able to afford it, and I think it went pretty good on that part (also with the help of some friends, which I’m completely grateful with them!). It was just going to be a shorter trip only to Sweden for NordicFuzzCon, and one week more with some friends around some other parts of Europe, but as closer this plan trip was getting, longer it was turning -San Francisco and Amsterdam: Journey to Norway -Norway: Oslo, Tromsø, Polar Circle and the Northern Lights -NordicFuzzCon: -Viking Riots -Meeting People and the Grimner Band -Doodles for Charity -Year of the Dragon Meet & Greet -Fursuit Parade -Coloring Book for Charity and the Trash Bin -The Final
2023, Confuror, awards and updates of my life
On this journal I want to update so many things about me, how it was my last year and some of my thoughts, if you want to know about. It’s going to be very long, I think! A remarkable 2023 Last months were pretty interesting to me, so many things have changed and it is very interesting that precisely 2023 was like that. So long ago I had read a belief that since you start making a significative change in your life, now every 7 year it will exist one. And no way this could have been a big coincidence: -7 years before last year (so…8 years ago) was when I quit my job and I started as a freelance, something that I haven’t regretted a little bit, despite all the ups and downs. -7 years before that is when I moved to another different city and joined the furry fandom fully. And last year, that was the 7th year. It was a year full of frustrations, it was not remarked as a fully happy year, I tried to find answers in places, people, beliefs, religions. But it definitely helped me to
Getting Better
Sooooo..... I'm back!!! Kind of!! Well, I've never left, but there are great news. As you may see, I'm drawing again with my right hand, I'm not at 100% yet, my arm/wrist keeps hurting a little bit from time to time, but not as intense as before, so all the therapies, medicine, visits to many specialists and exercises have worked very well. I still have the Teres Pronator Syndrome, I still can get Carpal Tunnel, I'm still visiting doctors and physiotherapist, but they were those who indeed recommended me to start drawing again, in very short amounts of times per day and in short lapses, resting a lot, and keep doing the exercises that it seems I will keep doing fro life. But definitely it has been a huge improvement, and I can notice it in my emotional mood. If you didn't know about what was going with me, I shared previously two updates of my health problem on previous months: Part 1: Part 2: It was definitely a rough time, and a time to get a lot of knowledge about life
