Hey sticky friends! Don’t forget I’ll be a guest at Intervention in Rockville, MD September 10-12.

Webcomics, artists, bloggers, gaming, anime, dance parties, burlesque. 24 hours a day. Clearly this is the place to be. You might want to pre-register now.

Have you registered yet? Good.

Meanwhile …

I’m going to be appearing at the New York Comic Con in New York City this October 8-10. This is going to be huge and fun (although not the killer party expected at Intervention). Assuming I can wrap up in time I will even be putting out a real book there, which will be a collection of work from sticky comics, plus some new comics too! More news on that soon. So excited!

Hi sticky crew! Come check out the Philly Alt Comic Con this Sunday, August 8, 2010. I will be there with sticky comics stuff such as smiles and merchandise and would love to see you there!

Hi sticky people! Have you seen the new and improved Ten East Read store? If not, check it out!

Ten East Read is the “official” and exclusive online store featuring sticky comics merchandise that I designed (and mostly made by hand) based on my original cartoon art. All our t-shirts and other textiles were screenprinted by me and a couple other friends. Our items are all limited edition so if you want any of of it you may want to order soon …

The latest sticky comics item we added is Steampunk Mr. Peanut t-shirt, but the Happy As A Clam t-shirt and Jellyfish stuff are still available too. I also have still have some sticky comics stickers based on cartoons from the site. So if any of that stuff sounds cool, go check it out.

And in case you were wondering, buying stuff and telling your friends is a pretty good way to help support my site and keep it going. Thanks guys

Hi sticky pals! I’m now more or less recovered from the very good time I had at ConnectiCon in Hartford, CT last weekend. The con is mostly focused on anime, cosplay, gaming, webcomics, and other crazy stuff, so there were a TON of people having a very good time, and often more than half the crowd was in costume. Some of my favorites were the steampunk outfits, zombies, and Silent Hill costumes, although almost everyone wearing anime ears was totally adorable. There were so many cool people there in general. Good vibes all around.

I was a webcomics guest at the event and had a table in the artists colony. I was giving out free sticky comics postcards, which I ran out of early on Saturday, and selling sticky comics merchandise. We launched two new items last week before the con: The Steampunk Mr. Peanut t-shirt and the new Brass Goggles Neckerchief, both of which are kinda steampunky things that we designed and screeenprinted ourselves. I sold a lot of merchandise and am almost out of Jellyfish tees and tote bags now. It was badass meeting so many other people who love jellyfish. (Not being stung by jellyfish, just their mysterious jelly ways.)

One of the best things about ConnectiCon is how much fun the webcomics people have there. I got to hang out (and drink beer in rather large quantities) with a lot of great webcomics people. Here is a list that took me many hours of sobriety to remember: read more >

Hi sticky friends! In just two weeks I’m taking this crazy show on the road again to ConnectiCon in Hartford, CT. I’ll have a table in the Artist’s Colony and will be hanging out selling some handmade sticky comics merchandise and prints. I would love to see you there! Meeting people in real life is awesome, and since I’ve heard a lot of rad things about this convention, I’m basically expecting to have a three day party there.

I also have scheduled appearances in August and September, so here’s a list of all three:

• July 9-11, 2010: ConnectiCon, Hartford, CT. ConnectiCon is a fun convention for anime, gaming, comics, and other exciting things!
• August 8, 2010: Philadelphia Alternative Comic Con (PACC), Philadelphia, PA. The Philly Alt Comic Con is going to feature alternative artists including webcomics, small press, and zine-sters. Great indie event. One day only.
• September 10-12, 2010: Intervention, Rockville, MD. Intervention is an event centered on webcomic artists, which I’m hearing will be an all-day, all-night, 3-day party. I’ll be an exhibitor, panelist, and professional party person there.

PS: I’ve heard that both ConnectiCon and Intervention may sell out, so if you can make it, go buy your tickets now! Really hope to see you there.

Hey sticky friends! Looking at my website, I realize that I’m overdue on a few things. Among them, I was going to write a post-followup followup since the last MoCCA post in April. This was going to include links to some other awesome artists I saw at MoCCA. But then I suddenly and unexpected moved to a new apartment and my mojo was disrupted. I’m settled again now so let me give you a very belated list of just some of the cool MoCCA people you should check out. read more >

Hi everyone! I want to post a quick update on how things went at MoCCA. It was my first time exhibiting at a comics/cartooning event and I had a blast! I met a lot of cool people and covered hundreds of them with sticky googly eyes. I would like to post a shout out to some of the awesome artists and other folks I met and will probably do it over the weekend. And if you’re really interested, check out these photos on my Facebook page read more >

Hi everyone! This weekend is the MoCCA Cartoon Art Festival in New York City. I’ll be at table E6! Stop by and say hi. I’d love to see you there! I’m giving away free stuff including some postcards and buttons. We also made some sticky comics merchandise for sale: tote bags, stickers, and t-shirts. (I’ll sell this stuff on my site soon too, I just need to get the store set up!)

Update: Now you can order the t-shirts and tote bags on the Ten East Read website! Check them out read more >

I just learned that I’m an official guest at Intervention in Washington, DC this September! That means I will be participating in panels (yikes) and have a table there to meet people and sell sticky comics stuff. Here’s a little bit about the convention which I grabbed from their website.

Your Online Life, In-Person

How much of your day do you spend on the internet–looking at comics, watching videos, reading blogs, connecting with friends, tweeting, or just surfing?

At Intervention you can meet, talk with, learn from, and party with the people you see online everyday.

One part New Media
One Part Gaming
One Party Nerd Party

You had me at Nerd Party! Intervention is gonna rock. Please come out and give artists like me who mainly publish and promote through the internet some cred. We don’t mind if you buy us some drinks either

Hi sticky friends! If you’ll be anywhere near New York City in April — or if you want to be — you should come see me at the MoCCA Cartoon Arts Festival, April 10-11. I’ll have a table there and would really like you to come say hi. I’m a little nervous about my first convention ever (as an exhibitor), so I’ll be happy to see you there!

I’ll be selling some merchandise, including t-shirts, tote bags, prints, and other stuff. These things will also be for sale on my website by mid-March. I even learned how to screenprint myself, so they’ll mostly be handmade.

More details on the Facebook invitation or at the MoCCA Festival website!

Hi everyone! I recently made the cover art for an original musical, A Feast Of Snacks, by Michael Gordon Shapiro. I had a lot of fun with it! Check it out:

It’s hourly comics day! I’m going to try to draw a comic based on every hour of my life today. Sorry they won’t be very good because I’m also working today, but here they are! And here’s a link to my hourly comics from last year.

Thanks to my sticky friends for their suggestions and encouragement, I created a set of three dangerous valentine’s day cards for the valentine’s day this year. (It’s February 14th.) Get some cards — for love and danger.

So what about e-cards? You may have noticed that you can now send every cartoon on my website as a free e-card. So go explore the archives and send your friends some sticky goodness.

Hi sticky friends! Today I made a new sticky comics facebook page … so check it out and join if you want? Hopefully I’ll update the page whenever I post a new comic, like I usually do on my sticky comics twitter feed and livejournal, so we can keep in touch. Here’s the facebook link.

In other news, I traveled a lot in July, but I expect to post comics more often now that I’ll be home more. Hugs everybody!

Hi everyone! I now have an easy way you can sign up to get an email every time I post to this website. Here’s the link to sign up on the Feedburner site: Subscribe to sticky comics emails

I also wanted to say hello to all the awesome people I met at the MoCCA Art Festival in New York City this past weekend.

• Intentionally Left Blank
• Kenan Rubenstein, Boy Blue Productions
• Novasett Island
• Leroy Brown, Icecubes
• Jon Chad
• Auilix, the Glass Urchin
• Carissa Halston
• Darren Gendron, Dernworks

• David Malki !, Wondermark
• Miriam Libicki, Jobnik
• Jesse Lonergan
• Richard Stevens, Diesel Sweeties

Wow, that took about fifteen minutes! If anyone sees this who should have been on this list, just let me know.

It’s past my so-called bedtime. Good night!

Hi sticky friends! Sticky Comics finally has a new website. Which is awesome, because I the old one really sucked. But it’s even more awesome, because now I won’t be fussing with the website and I can just make comics instead. Yay!

The new site has a new-ish FAQ page, some pretty fun archive pages, and a page about buying sticky comics stuff. Most importantly, the comics are a little better organized and hopefully you’ll be able to browse all the way through the archives without too much trouble now.

I kinda like the design, which is made from scanned Sharpie doodles on construction paper, but thank bejeebus I will be able to change this design much more easily than on the old site. So let me know what you think. I’m sure I’ll be tweaking it some more.

smiles & jabs,
Christiann

UPDATE: OK, I think everything’s working now! Yay!
