IAN JAY

• I uploaded a bunch of new videos to my Youtube Channel, including highlight videos from New York Comic Con and a new “Questionnaire” promo for MFF (see below). Go check ‘em out, subscribe, do what you will. Making weird videos has kind of become my new passion, so they’re worth a peep. WATCH OUT THOUGH: some vids may contain salty language, so don’t watch them at work or around small impressionable children.
• This weekend I’ll be going to another dang furry convention– Midwest Furfest in Chicago, Illinois. If you’re in the area and aren’t averse to hanging around a bunch of sweaty people in animal costumes, I’ll be there selling prints, comics, commissions, and merchandise.
• I’ve started doing these things called “Ian Jay Bad Movie Nights”, where every week (Wednesday at 10pm, usually, though I’m doing one tomorrow that’s a definite must-see) I livestream a really crummy movie, usually something from the Nineties that people remember as being better than it actually is. Yesterday I screened Space Jam, which, like, we hit the limit for the number of people that could be in a (free) livestream room at once. Keep your eyes peeled for future Bad Movie night announcements on my DA or Twitter.
• Epiphany super-fan Violet sent me an awesome piece of art! I don’t get a heck of a lot of fan art for this series, so receiving this was a real treat. Check it out:

Anyways, that’s all for tonight. Expect some more big announcements to come very, very soon. Keep reading, folks!

I think I forgot to post this here earlier, so hey, here you go!

Okay so for having only heard of it yesterday, Baltimore Comic Con (BaCoCo?) went pretty well!

The convention took place in the same building as Otakon, but the vibe was comparitively more mature. The crowd skewed rather older, and there was a lot more focus on individual creators both on the display floor and in the alley, which I definitely liked. The guest of honor this year was Stan Lee (!), but unfortunately I never actually got to see him. The con staff kept his dealer’s room table hidden from view behind a giant black curtain that made me think of the Wizard of Oz, with people lining up to shake hands with him and get a photo. If you planned ahead and paid a whole lot more you could get a “Fast Stan VIP” ticket that allowed you to stand in a shorter line and spend more time with Stan, or something like that. Stan Lee’s life must be completely bizarre at this point.
