Holy crap, it's been a while, huh?  I've been hard at work making more comics and planning for upcoming events so I keep forgetting to show you guys what I've been up to!  Most recently, I submitted a short comic for Nessie Press' upcoming Monsters of the Deep zine.  They'll be running a Kickstarter to get it printed, so I'll let you know more about that when it launches.

Like I said before, I've also been working on prepping for a number of events.  A couple weekends ago was my first show of the year, the Smudge! Expo, which was AWESOME.  It was their first event and they've already booked it again for next year!

Next show is Nippon Con in Westminster, MD on April 5
Followed by Awesome Con in Washington DC on April 18-20
And the Beyond Text and Line Panel in Rockville, MD on April 27th (followed by a screening of Stripped)
Then Otakon in Baltimore, MD on August 8-10
And SPX in Bethesda, MD on September 13-14

And that's just the confirmed stuff!  Really looking forward to this year, you guys.  Really really!

Down to my last 9 days as a bachelorette.  You know what that means? That means Jikoshia will be taking a break while I'm away on honeymoon. You know what THAT means? That means I need YOUR help!  From now until October 3rd, I'll be accepting comics illustrating what happens during my trip.  Will we have a romantic honeymoon on the beach? Perhaps we find a way into Jikoshia? Maybe we get ambush by surfer penguin ninjas! It's up to you to, however outlandish it may seem!

Comics should fit within a 700px x 1083px area. Send your submissions to thealmightym@waywardstudios.net. Please make sure to include your name (or alias) and your website (if you have one).

Sizdah Bedar

1 min read
It seems this year shall be the year for anthologies for me.  I'm participating in one project for a fantasy comic forum I'm on and another with a local comic group.  In the process of coming up with ideas for the latter, I came across the Persian holiday of Sizdah Bedar.  I'm really interested in creating a comic about this event, be it about the mythology surrounding it or about something that happens during a more modern celebration of it, but I also want to make sure I'm respectful of those who do partake in the day.

Can you (or maybe someone you know) help me to achieve that? 80% of the information I've gathered is from Wikipedia and I want to make sure I don't add anything taboo/offensive.  Message me if you can help!

I really need to not be so dead around here...

So, first things first.  I'll be making an appearance at Tigercon again this year.  For those of you not in the know, Tigercon is a free anime convention held at Towson University.  Yup, free. They had a great show last year and I'm looking forward to this year's.  Be there on December 8th!

Next up, I've just gotten word that I'll have a space at Katsucon February 15-17.  This will probably be the ONLY show I'm at for 2013.  It'll also be the biggest show I've yet to do!  If you can't make it to Tigercon, I hope I'll see you at Katsucon.

Finally, last year I put together a holiday card that I mailed out to anyone who asked for one and I'm doing it again this year.  The card will be finished this week and I'll be posting the final art here when it's done, so I wanted to start collecting addresses so I can mail them out as soon as they get here.  If you would like one, simply message me with a place I can send it too!

You guys remember that comic I made in 24 hours last year? I'm doing it again alongside my buddies at Square City Comics (including :iconcaptroop: :icondesmondthescribe: and even :iconplotholetsi: on the opposite coast). We'll be streaming video from the event live over on the SCC blog starting at 11am EST. Be there and be Square!!

Any of you guys participating? I'd love to see what you come up with during and after the challenge!

And for those of you who missed it, here's the comic I wrote last year!
