BORDERS! YAAAAYYYYYY! (holy crap this is a lot of pictures)



At last! The Borders Picspam of Ungodly Wonderfulness! Cue epic soundtrack now.

Just kidding. The following is a play-by-play of my birthday festivities and the art show, and I'm so pleased to share this with you guys, since you've all sort of been a part of the preparations. Although my tendonitis slowed down my artwork, I'm still going to finish the canon art winners because Borders has invited me back to display at the midnight release party. Now, who's comin'? :D

In any case, on with the picspam! :D Major thank-yous to kirleyfries for being an amazing event photographer!

Oh wow! The setup for all your artwork looked amazing. I bet these photos don't even do it justice, there's something about seeing it in the flesh.

I totally wish I could've been there, looks like it was such a fun day! See, now you just have to continue your Summer Tour across the nation. XD

What gorgeous pictures! And OMG so much artwork! You're so prolific (although OMG $788 on framing, too!). I'm so glad it went well - and ooh, DH launch party next up, huh? Congratulations!

I so wish I could have been there!!! I mean Charlottesville is so close to the DC area, especially as LJ fandom goes, but stupid UVA wont let me have a car. :( Everything looks awesome, as usual. :)

Oh, wow! Looks like you had a really great day! Ah, I wish I lived close enough to have gotten to come... it looks like everyone had a lot of fun. Well, I'm glad it went well and that everyone seemed to be having a good time! :)

I'm glad that turned out so well. It looks like it was absolutely perfect!

Your dad is awesome, but the real Severus Snape would have an aneurysm if he saw someone attempting to imitate him while wearing a Gryffindor tie! :D

Wow!! That looks like it was amazing! (What I wouldn't give for a bite of that Sorting Hat!!!) I'm really happy you had such a good time. I wish we had events like yours around here. No one seems to be into Harry Potter as much as my girlfriend and I in Oregon. :(

BUT!! The pictures are fabulous, your art is fabulous, and I can revel in the virtual experience :)
(And Happy Belated Birthday!)

Wow! I would have LOVED to be there! It looks brilliant, and some day I may think of the perfect scenario for you to draw for me, and get the courage to ask you to do it :) you're so gifted. I wish I lived in America. Silly rainy England.

Xxxxxx
