It’s been pretty quiet over here lately until now. Operating in NYC without a workshop has been somewhat of a damper on projects, but we’re proud to release the Gary Hobostein webcomic. It’s a quirky and sometimes not-quite-safe for work view into the life of a homeless oddball. Fortified and enriched with Vitamin Poop, this is recommended for those with a high tolerance for grossness and general insanity.
It was a really wonderful show for us, and we were glad to take part in such an amazing event!
It was a true pleasure to talented people in the comic field (in no particular order)
The entrance of the show on Saturday…

Of course, a big thanks for the Wizard World Staff putting together another professional and smoothly run event, and in particular Mike Scigliano for helping us at Iron Peanut work in some last minute changes to our table!
We will be exhibiting at the 2007 Wizard World Chicago show this weekend! Our table will be staffed during Saturday and Sunday of August 11 and 12th. We’re excited to be there, and hope to see you there as well!
We will be exhibiting at the Steel City Con in Pittsburgh PA, during this weekend! The Steel City Con is Pennsylvania’s largest toy and pop culture convention, and we are excited to be there! Updates/pictures most likely will be sporadic as we’ll be pretty busy in the booth and on the convention floor. If you’re in the area, come visit us there! Please check out the Steel City Con’s website (www.steelcitycon.com) for more details. Hope to see you there!
We are proud to announce that our Official Flat City Web Store is now up and functional!

I went to this year’s event as an attendee but eagerly anticipate going to the 2007 Wizard World Chicago event as an artist exhibitor! This was my first comic con show in what feels like a good ten years or so, and it was quite worth it. Lots of interestingly cool people were to be met- such as Antonio Clark of Bunnies on Fire Comics, Chris of ComicNinja, and the always friendly Richard Kiel.
Meanwhile, some photos:
The exhibition show floor…
Myself in the center along with Antonio and crew of Bunnies on Fire Comics…
My measly skull vs. Richard Kiel, “Jaws” from James Bond fame… my skull loses!
I’m happy to announce the launching of our first product website- www.flat-city.com!
Our first product are the Original Series Flat City Trading Cards, which sort of set the tone and groundwork of these characters. It’s the first of our attempts to merge cute with disgusting, and I hope that you’ll buy some cards for yourself, or be entertained at the very least.
However it’s not just about trading cards though, I am looking to release a lot more stuff in the coming days. Stay tuned!
Yes it is, my friends. For now, it will be of humble beginnings…
