Anime North and Doll North, Toronto

Journal Entry: Tue May 13, 2008, 7:44 PM

Hey Everyone,

Things are still incredibly busy for me, I'm making dolls 7 days a week and there doesn't seem to be a break in sight.

I will however be taking a short break from work to attend Anime North in Toronto.

At Anime North on Friday and Sunday (possibly a few hours early on Saturday) I will be exhibiting my doll work in the display section near artist alley at the Toronto Congress Center.
Anyone attending the con please stop by and say hi!

I plan on bringing 3 or 4 of my newest dolls and hopefully ill have finished examples of my book for people to take a look at.

On Saturday i will be doing 2 hour long dollmaking workshops at the Renaissance Toronto Airport Hotel.

2:00 PM: How to make a ball jointed doll.

4:00 PM: Basic Face Ups (makeup) for Dolls

My costumer Dreux will be doing a workshop as well at 3:00 on sewing and costume design for dolls.

I'm still behind on responding to my messages, but I'm slowly getting to them so i hope i catch up eventually.

There's also some really exciting news i hope to post very soon,.. this summer I'm going to be very, very busy!

Take care everyone,
Donn

For anyone interested I do take doll commissions.
My dolls are completely hand made by me, Dreux Priore creates all of my dolls clothing. Because they are completely handmade my dolls take anywhere from 3 to 6 months to complete. Prices for my current sculpts start at $875.

If seriously interested in a commission please contact me either by sending me a note or preferably by emailing me through my website.

For a price quote explain exactly what type of doll you would like, if you have drawings or photos please send links along with your description.

I love cons as well and i am envious!

Ive always wanted to attend some of the CA cons ESPECIALLY the San Diego con.

I'm going to get to make it to a big Doll Con in San Francisco in July, it will be my first west coast con and I'm really looking forward to it!
