Thanks for this post go to  Systemic Txwong:

I saw this in New York’s Modern Art Museam. My sister and I couldn’t figure out why there was a depiction of a mutilated hand when touching the art piece.

Remember those Katsucon panels I mentioned?  Here’s one of them.  See me look like I know what I’m talking about early in the morning on a weekend!

Katuscon 15: How To Make Webcomics: From Sketch to Posting and All Points in Between. from kaiki on Vimeo.

Have 90 minutes to kill?  Come on!  It’s a snow day!  Of course you do!  This is a full length animated movie called Sita Sings the Blues.  It’s amazingly worth your time.

Sita is a goddess separated from her beloved Lord and husband Rama. Nina is an animator whose husband moves to India, then dumps her by e-mail. Three hilarious shadow puppets narrate both ancient tragedy and modern comedy in this beautifully animated interpretation of the Indian epic Ramayana. Set to the 1920’s jazz vocals of Annette Hanshaw, Sita Sings the Blues earns its tagline as “The Greatest Break-Up Story Ever Told.”

You know what?  I went to Katsucon a few weeks ago and haven’t posted a thing about it!  For that, I apologize.

First off, welcome!  Welcome to all of you new people who came across me and my stuff during Katsu, and decided to check out the site. Read comics. Go make funny read good*.

As for the con, many many thanks must go out. Thanks most of all to Onezumi and Harknell who put things together for webcomic artists. You are amazing.  Thanks very much to everyone else, especially the friends I always rely on at cons (Nick, Marty, Dern, Brian, Garth, Brian, James, Nelly, Jamie, Jami, Rob, Chris, Barb, and the other 5 I’m sure I’m missing because I’m typing this so fast).

I was on some awesome panels with my friends as well as the Halfpixel guys (hi Brad, Kris, and Dave) and will post a link to that shortly.  I also got to participate as the commentator for Super Art Fight, which is always a blast.  I ate the most horriblest amazingtastic sandwich ever.  Details here.  Fan writeup here (mentions the sandwich).

Oh, speaking of seeing me in person, someone found me!  I was spotted meeting up with all the other local Webcomic peeeps.  The guy did a writeup about it, and I’ll leave the wording to him.

The reception was positive; Ross appeared quite thrilled to meet a reader in real life. We talked a bit about webcomics and got a photo, but then I had to leave as it was time to pick up my wife.

It’s true.  I was totally thrilled to meet a reader in real life.  As more conventions come up (and they will be posted on the site) I look forward to meeting more of you!  Be warned:  WEBCARTOONISTS MAY BE MORE HANDSOME THAN THEY APPEAR.  Link to the writeup.

This dude is all over “the twitters” and I think that led me to his site.  It’s a great little comic with unique artwork and a fun story.  Go read it.  (Btw, I said I would post about this like 2 months ago.  Sorry!)  Link.

My friend Garth Graham, webtoonist behind Comedity, started a new series a few months back.  This is funny, because many of his fans COMPLETELY MISSED THIS and haven’t followed suit.  Hah.  Anyway, Finders Keepers takes everything Garth learned on Comedity (like how to draw awwww shit I said it) and applies it beautifully to a great new story (yeah he learned to write too awwwwww shit).  So, go read it.  Link.

Back at SPX last year, I met a dude named Perry.  He recently started a new comic called Tales of Tamarind, and it’s shaping up to be pretty great.  I really dig the art style.  Also, he’s another local DC area webtoonist, joining such greats as, well, me.  (And Chris and Barb, Chris, Rob and Jami, etc.)  Join in at the beginning, he’s about 10 strips in and updating 2x a week.  Link.

Have you heard of a little webcomic called Alien Loves Predator?  I have.  In fact, I’m a big fan.  Apparently the feeling is mutual, because the other day Bernie posted a link over to The System, for which I’m very grateful.

Big hOLLAAA to Rosscott who does a super-rad comic called The System. I dig the ones about biking the best cuz I TOTALLY used to ride a bike a lot.

Go check out his comic, won’t you?  Oh, and he’s got a new one that doesn’t star action figures as well.  Check that out too.

Btw, while we’re on the subject, Chris Flick (of Capes n Babes) is also responsible for a little project called CMX Suite.  Tech / Programmer humor that is damn funny.  This one really caught me.  Link.

Got anything you think I’d be interested in or want to see covered?  Email me.  I love new crap.  Systemcomic at gmail dot com.

Thanks to Systemic Jen for sending in this one.  Looks like we can add Chicago to the list of places touched by The System, and I hear they have Steak n’ Shake there, so I’d be happy.   Link to see the full image.

Remember that post a few days ago to a deviantART comic that tried to show what could be done with digital comics?  Well, Balak did another one, this time explaining more on the details of how it could work.  Worth checking out!  I hope he/she does more with this, and gets themself a website off of DeviantArt.  ABOUt about DIGITAL COMICS by ~Balak01 on deviantART

Hey gang:

Were you some of the rad folks who met us at Katsucon this year?

Maybe you watched and enjoyed some of the panels we were on (featured below).

Heck, maybe you saw us as Super Art Fight took over Iron Artist.

Any way you look at it, would you mind showing us, and the other webcomics guests some love, by showing your appreciation in the Attendee Survey?

That’d be rad.  In fact, I’ll say this: complete that survey, and e-mail us (artfighthighschool at gmail dot com) a screen cap of your completed survey, and I’ll e-mail you an exclusive Art Fight High School wallpaper. Absolutely free!

Awesome, you’re the best.
