Oh my god, get comfortable….

(Not so much couldn’t do it, but wasn’t INVITED *gesticulates at career portfolio*)

Do you have a white whale project? Something that you knew was being solicited for creatives to join onto that you really wanted to do, but for whatever reason you couldn’t do it?

I also want to give some MAJOR 👏👏 to @andypriceart.bsky.social for the INSANE amount of work he did this weekend to help promote Kayou’s MLP card game. You know you’re working hard when @katiecandraw.bsky.social offers to mind your AA table.

If I had ONE complaint about NYCC… it was the absence of @jillpantozzi.bsky.social @biryanifan.bsky.social and @honudan.bsky.social

Missed all your faces. 🥲

I want to give a special NYCC shoutout to Joe Hennes @toughpigs.com for having me at the super fun Muppet Sketch Jam panel. It was a bit nerve-wracking but the crowd were amazing and all the artists brought the hilarity in only a minute.
Muppets fans fricking rule, you guys.

Only Canadian con I’ve done is Fanexpo Toronto and that was a loooong time ago.

Amy Mebberson @amymebberson.bsky.social · 21h

AND CANADA! Of COURSE Canada! (It’s the only way I’m gonna see @lartist.bsky.social and @sohmer.bsky.social )

So here’s the deal. @silvaniart.bsky.social are familiar presences at the big US cons but we have done almost NO international shows! We want to change that! Ask your local con to invite us, we bring fun art and I bring my bedrock Aussie accent.

I love going to cons. They’re an adventure, they get me out of the house and I get to meet so many lovely people who’ve put up with my arty online shenanigans for over 20 yrs.❤️❤️
(And see my awesome comic-making friends I only ever see at cons)

Still, no loo like your home loo. 🚽

I’d also add, even if you’re living cheaply/with family, focus on making your own comics rather than trying to get publishers to hire you on spec and hope.
I made 2 webcomics and that got me an invitation to co-create Divalicious for a Tokyopop competition. Rest is history.

It’s nearly 5am in manhattan. It’s raining on a public holiday & the streets are empty.

Thank you NYCC for another awesome year.
So many lovely people came & said hi and bought some art or stickers.
That’s it for me this con season. See y’all next year!

And this is why I make my own clothes, unless it’s jeans or anything in a knit fabric (leggings/tshirts/tank tops etc,) then it’s Costco or old navy.

derek guy @dieworkwear.bsky.social · 2d

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

Heidi MacDonald @comixace.bsky.social · 3d

Final award! Book of the Year presented by Nellie Kurtzman! It goes to Beneath the Tree where Nobody Sees. This announce is met by cheers and the closest thing to a standing ovation of the night. And Horvath is on hand to accept! "It's insane how awesome IDW's support for this book has been." #nycc
