Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

I finally got my ass in gear and put together a small mini-gallery of the NG @ NY Big Apple Con shenanigans. I merged photos I've found floating the forums as well as 40 of my own. That should just about wrap up that whole experience. Again thanks to everyone for coming along to show your support for that.

A number of people asked me if there would be a NG Sketchbook Tour this year... my original answer would have been no, it just takes a lot of time and effort to put together and I wanted to just be lazy all summer. However, due to the overwhelming interest in it I think I will go ahead kick it off at the end of the month. The specs on that will be provided then, my pal Mogly had a pretty cool idea for it that I want to spin-off of. This year I will definately limit the amount of entries. As much as I want to include everyone, it just becomes really hard to manage. So stay tuned for that. I dont have a concrete timetable but I'm thinking that you'll have all of July to express interest and for me to mail out all my entries. After July the mailing process will be over and you'll have roughly a month and a half to fill your entry and mail it back. If all goes well, maybe the project will be over by the next convention appearance later this year. More info later.

The last piece of news is that people have been asking me where the next newgrounds gathering is going to be next. For the sake of making your life easier i've provided some info of things I have in my radar:

Comic Con San Diego July 24-26

NG NYC Meet-up hosted by Timmy

PAX Penny Arcade Explo August 29 - 31

NG London Meet 3 August 30

======================================
=======

I've been talking to your pal Adam Phillips about getting a NG meet setup for Supanova Pop Cullture Expo in Melbourne on March 27-29th 2009. Its a bit premature but something to think about.

Jun. 13, 2008 | 5:27 AM lenkobiscuit says:

Heh, I've been wondering when the Sketchbook tour was gonna show up.

By the way luis, as a designer are you freelance or do you work for a company? Or do you just design stuff for newgrounds? Just something I've always wondered.

Jun. 13, 2008 | 5:29 AM jakobhummelen says:

So.. your new profile picture rocks! :P

Jun. 13, 2008 | 6:15 PM Senri says:

Jun. 13, 2008 | 8:33 PM ChillyCheese says:

Jun. 14, 2008 | 8:17 AM Hammi says:

Shoobity-doo. This means MOAR chocolate for you... well MAYBE, if im not bumped out that is. (lmfao blackmail)

Jun. 14, 2008 | 9:24 AM Krinkels says:

The reason my pants are all bunched up like that has absolutely nothing to do with the way I'm sitting.

Oh yes, I went there.
