Yes, there is a sketch with the cel so plenty of room to sign...

Thank you Syan! For a second there I thought you were going to say you liked the dog....I was going to put a bow on his head and Fed Ex him to you as a little housewarming gift! Darn...

LOL... first thought that popped into my head seeing that oddly cute dog was Dr.Suess, he looks a like a Dr. Suess creation

PS- My husband said tell Kaona no thank you before you sent him over, lol!!

Haha...he does have that Dr. Suess look to him. Poor doggy, sorry for raggin on him.

I'm going to have to pass on *that* present though.

So . . . where in AZ do you guys want to see? Desert in bloom? My uni? I'm not too sure what to take a picture of.

Does anyone have any sites they want the cel to visit? Preferrably around Phoenix.

I've been thinking about it Klet, and I don't know... is there any place around Phoenix that you especially like?

Heh, I'm not sure, Hotice.

But, I do have the cel as of yesterday, so I'll decide pretty quickly and then send it on to RedWolf.

I'm thinking about visiting the Desert Botanical Gardens soon, so it might end up propped up against a blooming cactus.

It's supposed to be really pretty there this time of year.

My roommate and I are thinking of going skiing, and she told me to blow you guys' minds by taking it to northern Arizona. Yes, we do in fact get snow. Just enough to go visit.

But, we might not go until next weekend, and I know we want this project done asap.

Hey Klet, You could take the cel whitewater river rafting through the Grand Canyon! Still a little chilly for that though...

Or take it along for spring break at Lake Havasu..now that would be an adventure!

So Klet... did you decide on a location? ^_^

UPDATE:

I have not received responses from: alyssium, bulma_gt, and Noriko010884. I sent a 2nd chance PM to those people, if there is still no response, then they will be taken off the list. *edit* no response in 48hrs

I ended up running out of time and just taking it around to some various places on campus. I hope the pics turned out okay.

It should be on its way to Redwolf tomorrow.

The cel has arrived. I just have to get some photographic inspiration and wait for CutieBunny's address, which I meant to get ahead of time but totally forgot about...

Hope you have better luck than me. I couldn't really think of anything.

I suppose the most representative side of Tempe would be its bars, since it's a college city and that's where the majority of its populace spends the majority of its time.

But, I'm in the minority in that regards.

I should be posting/emailing the pictures later tonight.

I still have not received anything from these 3, neither PM even viewed. The three of them have been taken off the list in an attempt to keep the project moving smoothly.

Japanese $1.50 store?! BINGO!

I noticed when I took out the cel that Aernath's signature looks a little faded, so people yet to sign should take care to avoid accidentally touching that area

I almost gave myself a heart attack while signing... After I wrote Glendale, AZ, I wrote my zip code instead of March. I wiped it away only to smear part of my name as well. Somehow, I managed to fix my signature up decently.

I've got to practice with dip pens (Friday night involved my first attempts), so I focus more on what I'm writing/drawing and less on trying to get the ink to come out the way I want it to. I initially wanted to use my Sakura Micron pen or brush pen, until I left it overnight on some of my own acetate, only to have it smear off when I touched it in the morning.

By the way...Kaona's signature is amazing to see in person!

Here's scans of the two cels...I scanned them while they were in cel bags and also stitched together two scans per cel, which is why there are shadows.

I'm going to try to take some photos at a nearby park, but if that fails, I'll just take photos in my room then send it off by mid-week.
