Hello! First off, a massive apology for neglecting Deviantart once again... it's such a chore to post art here sometimes the process takes a while. Plus I have to admit, there are so many social media platforms that I have to pick my battles and choose which platforms I'm actively involved in.

To get all the up to date artwork (and for exclusive stuff I'm a bit shy to post to the public at large), consider joining my PATREON.  www.patreon.com/beanclam/

I also post a large amount on stuff via tumblr, twitter and instagram. If you have questions about commissions, convention appearances, other things, those places plus Facebook will be  the fastest way to get an answer out of me.

As usual, you can buy my stuff via Storenvy. beanclam.storenvy.com/
Or if you want shirts, mugs, home goods, etc:
TeePublic www.teepublic.com/user/beancla…
Redbubble www.redbubble.com/people/beanc…

I still read all the comments you guys leave me here, but there'll be some pretty big gaps between my visits. But if you're out and about the internets, if you come across the username "beanclam" it's pretty much me.

Hi guys, I've finally gotten around to re-organizing my Deviantart, sorting out my galleries and uploading some new art. And here's some things I've been up to....

-------------------------
SCI-FI FASHION ART SCHOOL

This is my fourth book with Impact Books! I've just uploaded an image of the cover, and created a Gallery Folder where I'll be posting preview images and tutorials from the book.

Sci-fi Fashion Art School explores different sci-fi sub-genres (post-apocalyptic wastelands, space westerns, etc) and has tutorials for character creation and costuming, as well as providing a ton of full color art to serve as samples and inspiration.

It's available for pre-order on Amazon, and ships early December. www.amazon.com/Sci-Fi-Fashion-…
And please LIKE and SHARE the book Facebook page: www.facebook.com/scififashiona…

STORE AND SITE UPDATES

I've updated my website with new art (including images from Sci-Fi Fashion Art School), so have a look! www.beanclamchowder.com/
I've also updated all my online stores, which you can reach via my website. You can buy things directly from me on my Storenvy: beanclam.storenvy.com/
Or buy my art on shirts via Teepublic: www.teepublic.com/user/beancla…
Or on various things like mugs, pillows, phone cases, via Society6: society6.com/beanclam

CONVENTIONS AND ARTIST ALLEY

I've already confirmed two California conventions for 2017, and you can buy stuff from me in artist alley without pesky shipping charges. I will post up-to-date lists on my website.

• SacAnime Winter (Jan. 6-8, 2017) Sacramento – CONFIRMED
• Anime Los Angeles (Jan. 27-29, 2017) Ontario – CONFIRMED

Shojo Fashion Manga Art School BOYS is here! Get your copy at stores or via Amazon ( if you do get it via Amazon, please be kind enough to leave a review.): www.amazon.com/Shojo-Fashion-M…

Thanks for all the ideas and suggestions for the book! I'm already thinking about the next book I want to do. Not sure if it will be part of the Shojo series, but it all depends on what people are interested in.

Please feel free to keep sending me suggestions and ideas! I'm not super active here on DevArt, but I do read comments and suggestions when I check in here. You can send ideas via my site: beanclamchowder.com/ or send an ask on my Tumblr artblog: beanclam.tumblr.com/

The Dead Endings eBook is available, too! I'm quote happy with this project from Chromatic Press (publised online in their Sparkler Monthly).

It's an 8-chapter light novel written by Jessica Chavez with chapter illustration by me. The eBook contains two bonus short stories and bonus art. Please go to the site for more info and to read some chapters for free! sparklermonthly.com/series/dea…

I'm almost done with my artist alley listings for the year... but I'm already signed up for a few in 2015. I will add more to the list as I sign on for more!
    • Comikaze - Oct. 31-Nov. 2, 2014
    • SacAnime Winter - Jan. 2-4, 2015

As usual, thanks to everyone for your continues support

Busy! SO BUSY! Which means more new coming up!

But for now, I'll be posting a few new pieces in the gallery (after I finish up this journal post). 

And I can't believe it's August already! Here's the rest of my con schedule for the rest of the year:

StocktonCon - this weekend! August 9-10. I'll be at table AA 68
SacAnime Summer - August 29-31. Table AA 139
Yaoicon - Sep 12-14. Table 14
Alternative Press Expo (pending)
Comikaze - Oct. 31-Nov. 2. No table number yet!

This list is horrendously late, but better late than never, right? 

I try to bring a good portion of my print inventory to artist alley, and I usually have a full inventory of buttons/pins. I only sell buttons in sets online, but I sell them individually at conventions for $1/each. And if you guys own copies of my Shojo Fashion books, I will gladly sign books if you bring them! It's very exciting for me!

Here are the rest of conventions for the year:

• Fanime - It's coming up fast! I'll be seated at table 110 with Tirrivee Creations!
• SacAnime Summer - I will most likely be at SacAnime Winter, too. Schedule permitting, I will try to do both summer and winter cons every year
• YaoiCon - Very excited that this con is back and in the Bay Area! Gives me an excuse to draw pretty boys.
• Comikaze - Love this con! Had a great time last year, and I have a feeling I'll be doing this one every year.

I'm still waiting to see if I'm going to be at Stockton Con and Alternative Press Expo. Will update the list when I know for sure!

And I'm getting a bit ahead of myself, but I'm planning on attending SacAnime winter and Wondercon in 2015!
