I loathe BarCon. And I drink! Why on earth would I want to stand in a dark INSANELY crowded room with a bunch of 80% men I don’t know? (Plus I make animation-adjacent ‘Girl’ comics so I’d be looked down on anyway).. Nah. I’ll always take getting a bite to eat with my circle.

Haha i could build a sizeable To Be Read pile just of Seanan’s books alone 😆 I’m rereading Wayward Children so I’ll be caught up when Sugar Sparrows drops 🤪

Also, if you *genuinely* need more time(like, Life Things got in the way(family needs, health etc)), TELL YOUR EDITOR. Give them that courtesy and they’ll often find out a way to give you more time.

My last convention of the year is as Special Guest at @ponyvilleciderfest.com in Milwaukee Nov 20-22! I’ll be there along with @andypriceart.bsky.social for all your Pony comic and TCG shenanigans! He brings the funny, I bring the cute!

Took me over an hour to revive my houseplants, cuz a major heatwave had the audacity to hit while I was away. Mah babies…. 🥺🪴

Thank you everyone who came to NYCC and said hi and helped me sell out of most of my books, my print and even pins! NY, yer an amazing place but I’m so happy to be back in SoCal warmth and my HARD mattress. (Hotel pillow-top mattresses and I don’t get along….)

Hey artists… maybe lay off the pastiche kids book thing? SO many ppl have asked me if this is a real LGB or some M-rated parody.

My very real Little Golden Book written by the very real creator of Harley Quinn for the very real Penguin Random House.

Anyone in the Javitz food court can grab me a convention IPA (16 oz can), you would be my hero. Table A-14 in Artist Alley. Will reimburse immediately and do you a free little sketch. I’m stuck here till 8 😩

Yes indeed it is! BronyCAN is the only other MLP show I’ve been invited to. I’ll have prints, MLP sketch cover commissions, new comics..! Plus whatever other fun stuff PVCF has planned!

I’m ready to call out obvious AI in a second, but god some people are getting very ‘I SAW GOODY PROCTOR WITH THE DEVIL!!’ in their accusations…

Amy @NYCC Artist Alley A-14 @amymebberson.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

That’s it. Anyone who comes into an artists’ comments accusing them of AI and clearly haven’t taken 10 seconds to to check the account… gloves off, do not be nice. BURN THEM TO THE GROUND. (You do not come for LOISH, of all people.🤬🤬🤬)

US employers have to verify citizenship/green card status before hiring. 🇺🇸 companies CANNOT HIRE A FOREIGNER without going through a shitton of paperwork and fees to prove there’s no American available to do the job. 💩🤡 can kiss my arse.

YES IT IS, especially if one’s table is at the front and you have your fight your way through the crowd to the back door. The front restrooms are impenetrable once the floor opens.

More dedicated bathrooms for Artist Alley exhibitors please! Walking that revolting smelly loading dock to the next hall over is gross. We’re stuck there for 10 HOURS.

I have nothing by the highest admiration for Jim’s talent and body of work. We can always appreciate that.

The laser focus I am giving to producing pixie dust trinkets for my January Disney cruise is truly frightening. Door decoration, the fish extender design, the whole shebang. As a lifetime crafter, my time has come. Luckily my friends and I have a THEME…

He’s an iconically talented actor and he deserves every accolade for his body of work. But I can understand why his *personal* optics would make Disney go yeh nah. Thats ALL I’m saying.

Amy @NYCC Artist Alley A-14 @amymebberson.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Yeah it’s sad. I’ve hung out with him in person and he seemed an all over nice guy! Then COVID happened and he showed his (right) hand rather quickly. I cut ppl I thought were friends off FAST cuz of their attitudes to COVID.

Amy @NYCC Artist Alley A-14 @amymebberson.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Yeah nah. Jim thinks every one of his “off-the-clock” online musings aren’t going to be noted and judged? No. Time to retire, sir.

Amy @NYCC Artist Alley A-14 @amymebberson.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Yeeeee-iiiiiiikes! He even replied himself like ‘IS THAT WHUT DISNEY TOLD YOU’. Ummmm, no but the allegations in his divorce fight are worthy of pause, yes?

Amy @NYCC Artist Alley A-14 @amymebberson.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

One thing I’ve learned in the past few days: do not try and argue with Jim Cummings fans. Ooooooof!!! They a cult.

I’m lucky with my high front windows I can see the moon most of the night from my couch. She’s been pretty lately, yes 🤩

First day not working or in jury for 3 weeks. Boring stuff like running errands and having an afternoon to sew and junk journal felt so good. Tomorrow, DIZNY LAN! (I need to get some steps in) 🤪

Hey, vendor booths and exhibitors at cons. Real talk. If you have artwork as part of your booth decor, or as products that you sell, And your answer to the question “was any of this artwork made by AI” is “I don’t know” That’s unacceptable. Credit your artists, and don’t sell slop art.

If I get a boilerplate email about a con/event, I ignore/delete it. If I then get a ‘follow up’ email that’s equally boilerplate, that’s a block. Fuck off and how dare you insult my time/intelligence.

New DWD: I’ll give it a chance, even though the version under @frankangones.bsky.social was perfection. Mark H’s cred is equal to Jim’s imo, so I’m curious to see what he brings to the character. Seth R as Launchpad tho, nah. Beck Bennet NAILED it.

Only merch I wish Knotts would do more of is Peanuts merch themed around the stage show during Peanuts month. I want a Snoopy/Spike blues bros tshirt!

Amy @NYCC Artist Alley A-14 @amymebberson.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Yeah I won’t be renewing my Knotts pass. This is inexcusable. (Not that I buy non-Peanuts Knotts merch it IS mostly pretty tacky even without the AI. At least Peanuts stuff is strictly controled by the Schulz estate who would NEVER use AI).

Amy @NYCC Artist Alley A-14 @amymebberson.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Oh no no you’re fine, it’s a fair question and most people don’t know that comics is 99% freelance.

*laughs for 5 solid minutes* Work-for-hire has no union. We fend for ourselves. I unwillingly pay $$$ for my health care, but its the only option if I don’t want my carcass left at the curb if I get hit by a bus.
