Here’s your Saturday comic! I woke up at 3:00 AM today – which, okay, sounds bad. But this is darn near the closest to being on a day schedule I’ve been in weeks, so I’m hoping to build some momentum and answer some e-Mails I might’ve forgotten to during September.

I do believe Davey is up at Nan Desu Kan this weekend, whoring himself out along side a couple of my Texas con-buddies, too. So, like, if you happen to be in the area of Denver and you’re reading this and you’re not going to that con then I strongly suggest you fix that and go there and give Dave a good pat on the ass and say “Matt sent me.” Thanks.

Anyhow. See that Sticky Floors title bar up top? Right, I do believe next week we finally start to meet one of the other folks in it, too. ;D

Matt’s Next Con:

‘Pologies for the lack of news postage last week. I’ve been insomniac-ing it for awhile – typical days ranging from over twenty-four hours to under six, sleeping whenever it is that I get sleepy. It’s hardly healthy, but after awhile you get used to it. It’s just transitioning into that “schedule” is a bit of a system-shocker. Suddenly you wake up and say to yourself “Damn! I slept through a whole weekend?!”

Just a reminder, since it’s just a little over two weeks away now: I’ll be at Oni-Con in Houston, TX, October 20 – 22, attending space in the Artist Alley. So if you’re in the area that weekend, be sure to drop by!

And speaking of con sort o’ stuff: buddies o’ mine Steven Heinrich (A-Kon’s Artist Alley director), Hightower the “Chibi Man” (Don’t let that nickname fool you – he’s “really big in real life.” ;P), and Juno of Star Cross’d Destiny have been putting together a ”Con Artist Community” (con as in convention, by the by).

It’s just starting out, but for those of you interested in the national convention circuit - working said circuit, specifically as a self-representing artist – it should be a very promising and unique resource. Meet-and-greet with other artists, get tips and tricks from veterans of the circuit, reviews of conventions and get the real inside scoop you won’t find on any con’s message-board: How is that con for artists?

As said, it’s just starting out. But it’s got veterans all ready on board that travel and do conventions full-time, and if you’re interested in this sorta’ stuff I definitely recommend it. Never seen anything quite like it online before.

PS: Much love for the linkage, ScribbleKid.

Another PS: To further pimp out the Oni-Con, here’s there clickable banner. =0 You know you wanna’ go, ya’ know. Yoshitaka Amano will be there too. You kids love Final Fantasy, don’t you kids? ;)
