I’ve been going to @newyorkcomiccon since 2010, starting off as a fan with dreams of being welcomed into the comics industry some day. From 2017 and onward, as I started to be published, that shift started happening where I started to accept feeling like a professional. Tabled for the first time in 2022. And with all that, this past weekend was my best time there yet. So happy to call many of the names I once looked up to, as peers, and making so many more connections. Special shouts to @spacebetweenent, @patshand, @porrafabi_ , @kevinshinick, @mattgaudioart, @ironagecomics, @nickcaponiart, @louissouthard, and @themotleymonroe. @phillipkjohnson, @ivanbrandon, was a pleasure meeting and hanging out with you! @tiago_palma, @felipe_cunha, @gabrielmariocomics, and @raphalobosco, it’s a pleasure as always! @mears.hayden, congrats on having your first comic out! Looking forward to reading. Finally meeting creators I’ve known on socials for some time, and some newer friends like @ericpalicki and @adriannepalicki (appreciate the signings!,) @muaadib, @mccomicker, @badbugmakescomics, @marissapopeart, @furyroseillustrations, @okompan, @vaughncoleman, and @tanita.creator. So cool bumping into @joshjohnsoncomedy! @sdownes117, thank you for the signing!
I’m sure I’m forgetting names, I’m still decompressing from everything, but what a great week, and as exhausted as I am, I’m equally reinvigorated to get back to work and step up further. More posts to come!

NYCC 2026 kept me smiling. Thanks to everyone who came through the Hivemind booth, to our brilliant friends who shared their newest creative projects with us, to @noksunyc for a dinner that will not soon be topped, to our friends at Wizards, Dark Horse, Magic, IDW, and to the city itself - you made an incredible home for this mob of weirdos this weekend. Here’s to next year… when we’ll have something very special to show you.

@ororo_comics_podcast welcomes @asia_simone405 to the pod!

Asia has contributed interior artwork to projects including Adventure Time: Best of Buds and My Little Pony: Tournament of Mysteries, illustrated the graphic novel Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur: Wreck and Roll, and worked on the middle-grade book Pack Your Bags, Maggie Diaz. She has also illustrated Baby Garfield: Year of Firsts and created cover art for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Another shout out to the AMAZING @asia_simone405 .

My cohosts, Slack Pack gang, @rushtonrobbie and @austynrushton Asked her one of our typical Slack Pack questions and here is what she had to say.

VERY REAL ANSWER, and I totally get it. In fact, I know many friends who can identify with this! Myself included.

Make sure to check my YouTube for our full #RCCC2026 Panel for more questions and answers with Asia and other creators.

Last weekend marked my last @rosecitycc as a non Doctor " and likely the last one I'll be doing for the next 4 - 5 years as an artist. This time next year I will be in my clinical rotations. Then after that, residency and many more fancy medicine mandates. Felt great to share my quirky, Neuroscience and Cooties cartoons with everyone and I appreciate everyone who bought up all the books! Glad I got to catch up with folks and hopefully can make it back to Portland before things get even more hectic!
