Sonic Expo Update/First day of band camp! 07/14/25

So, I checked my email yesterday (specifically junk mail to see if any webring/fanlisting emails ended up there) and I ended up finding an email from Sonic Expo sent last Tuesday (07/08/25) saying that they accepted two out of my three submissions!!! lwk when I first found out that there was even gonna be an expo was when I made the blog post abt the johnny gioeli concert which gave me like 3 days to actually make any art pieces, and ngl I've been so hyperfixated on making this site that I haven't drawn much this summer. FORTUNATELY I drew alot LAST summer, so I chose 3 pieces to submit (I was gonna do one I did this year but I totally forgor abt that one) 2 of them just needed some touchups/adjustments and the other needed a whole background BUT I ended up finishing them on time and I submitted them the day of the deadline at like 11:40pm :3 I'll show the drawings here at the bottom and a screenshot of the email but I'm js super happy that they selected my art to be printed and displayed, and the best part is that all the proceeds made from the selling of my art will go to the American Heart Association!!!!!

update 07/22/25: I forgor to add the drawings themselves so here they are! I'll add these to the art page once I get that set up :3

Also I had my first day of marching band camp today... well not actual camp it was leadership camp since I got section leader this year but honestly it was a lot of fun! lwk I was expecting to go outside and exercise and thank goodness we didn't but I'm not safe because all we're doing is preparing for war n I was supposed to play my sax today but i forgor 😿

ps the new dandadan chapter 2day was peak
