March Highlights

Hi, I realize trying to update this whenever something new happened was kinda chaotic, so I think I'm just gonna do monthly recaps of everything that has happened in the previous four weeks. Anyway, here we go.

ToxicCat Studios

Toxic Cat Studios

This is more of a thing that happened in late February, but its not like I talked about it then so here I am talking about it now. Anyway, JumpHero is part of a webcomic collective now wahoo!! It's very brand new at the moment but I'm liking where things are going right now, so I hope you consider checking it out (and maybe even applying too oooooo): https://toxiccat.neocities.org/

Brooklyn Independent Comics Showcase

Brooklyn Independent Comics Showcase. April 13, 2024. 11 AM - 7 PM. 51 35th Street, Industry City. Free Admission!

Yeah I got a table here so I'm going to this in April yay :)

I wanna try to table at more conventions in the future, but I'm a bit scared of leaving NYC atm, so I'm really fortunate when small and affordable conventions happen (cuz uhhhh, this city is kinda only affordable enough for the really big cons to host here, like NYCC and Anime NYC). Anyway go check it out!

JumpHero Season 2 Release Date

Redraw of the original JumpHero webcomic cover
Woah I redrew the original cover because my art style kinda changed since 2021.

JumpHero is coming back on April 4th, can you believe it?! Originally I was announcing it to be "late 2024" but then I managed to bring it back sooner than expected. Sadly though, I think the big reason why it's coming back so soon is because I had to cancel my plans for printing Season 1 ;-;

Anyway, I am releasing an April Fools comic this year on April 1 lets go! I was too busy to do one last year, but I want this to be an actual tradition, yknow

Bun Head

My newest project, "Bun Head" also released this month. While a fairly short comic, a lot of work has gone behind this, and I'm glad to finally release it! It's also the first time I'm selling a comic, and I was kinda scared about how its gonna go. I might try doing more minicomics for sale in the future, since it was kinda fun to experiment with a world different from JumpHero's for a bit.

Wanna buy "Bun Head"?

Neocities Updates

My Neocities site, https://kirbokirbstar.neocities.org/, has a favicon now. Also, new works were added to Unportfolio.

  • "A Rich Guy and the Black Tie" (2018)

  • "Breather" (2024)

  • "Been pretty low on spoons" (2024)

I'm thinking of other cool things to do with the site, so expect some nice things in the future.

WE 20VE KATAMARI

Some katamari cousins in their go-karts from We Love Katamari.
Sneak peak of my entry!!

Finally after all these months, WE 20VE KATAMARI is finally out! This is a web zine to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Katamari series, and I was super excited to be a part of it.

Go check it out: https://we20vekatamari.itch.io/we-20ve-katamari

Anyway I think that's all I have for now? I like reading long emails sometimes but I know not everyone is like that, so I hope this wasn't too long for you all. See you hopefully next month!
