Today I have BULLYING on my mind. So for #throwbackthursday I want to use my 2016 painting Bettas On My Mind to talk about this issue. I want to speak up about how awful online bullying is. 
😔 Let me first say that I love all of you that comment and send love and positivity on my social media, i love you so much. 🙏 On occasion i have to deal with people who aren’t so nice, people who forget that i’m a human being with real feelings. Their cutting comments hurt. Its one of the reasons i have comments disabled on Youtube. I’ve learned over the years to grow a thicker skin, to delete the mean comments and move on. But yesterday a friend of mine told me about how her daughter was bullied online by her schoolmates and it was awful. Worse than any mean pranks I went through in high school. So let me say this as words of encouragement for anyone out there that is being bullied. If you come across people who want to laugh at your pain, or make you feel awful about yourself, SCREW THEM. 👊 No one is allowed to make you feel bad about yourself. They have no power over you. When you are cornered don’t cower but ROAR! I don’t let negative comments determine who I am and you shouldn’t either. I don’t care about their nasty opinions. For every one of them there are a hundred of you who support me. Focus on love not hate. You are allowed to be who you are and nothing some random people say can take away your strength! 💪 Words have power so I want to use mine to stand up against bullies. I want to promote love and happiness and together we are a community of love. 💖

Hi Everyone!

I hope all you lovelies have been super! I wanted to update you that I'm finally coming to Europe for a Convention event! I'm a guest artist at Roma Cartoon Festival in Rome, Italy, June 23-25. ^_^ This is a super special chance to come see me at a live event in Europe where I'll be doing live painting on Friday, have signings Saturday & Sunday, and my own exhibition room you can visit me in and see all my amazing goodies I've packed for the show. I'm so excited the festival is happening so soon, and I hope I can see some of you there!

Hi Guys,

I'm excited to be coming back to Edmonton Expo next weekend! I'll have a guest artist table Sept 25-27, and bring prints, books like my Tanpopo graphic novel and my How To Draw Pop Manga book, tshirts, and more goodies. If you're in the Edmonton Alberta area, come say Hi. ^_^

Hugs
Camilla
