I'm taking fanart submissions of the Riddle Road ashcan series and will be choosing a few to go in the next volume.  Those chosen to go in will receive a free copy of Riddle Road 3!

So if you've got art to post of the Bizengang, Orion Bones and co. or those jerks at the bottom of the sea, post it in your DA and provide a link for me here!  Deadline is May 25th, cuz I'm already working on the 3rd edition!  So hurry! :D

Just an FYI, this is for Riddle Road art, not just regular Bizenghast art.  So it must have something to do with what's going on in the RiddleRoadiverse!

Some people asked if they could meet up with me at this con for signing stuff, photos, or just to blah blah about stuff.  I don't have a booth or table or anything so it would be tough to find me (as I'm not really doing any costumes there either...I'll be doing biznizy networking stuff most of the time), but if you want to say hi, I'll be attending the Oni Press panel for sure...it's on Friday at noon in room 32AB.  Just look for the broad in the audience who's all "RAWR I'M PRINCESSIN' IT UP IN MAH VINTAGE HAIR STYLE!"

And they spent the whole weekend stuffing his mouth full of my business cards.

Then Fish Puppet met :iconThe-Dead-Fool: (Robert), who is the first (and as far as I'm concerned, the BEST) Edrear cosplayer, as well as Robert's hot sister and Mega Mittens in a snuggie.  Robert has a very sexy and interesting accent, which I can't place for the life of me:
