Platinum Studios Seeks Interns While Sign-Ups for Wizard World Texas Is Still On
Submitted by Black_Kitty on September 15, 2007 - 16:03
This is pretty old news but for those of you who don't know, Platinum Studios is seeking two individuals who might be interested in an internship at their LA headquarters. Hours and days are flexible but it must be on a weekday as the office is not open on weekends. It's an unpaid internship but it is an opportunity to gain some experience and network with other people. More information can be found at the link above.
Meanwhile sign-ups for the DrunkDuck Wizard World Texas Artist Alley is still open but it's now "standing room only." The reserved tables are now at their maximum capacity of four per table so while sign-ups are still welcomed, there's no guaranteed table at this point. However DrunkDuck artists are pretty nice and in the past people have shared tables and traded spaces.

The first ever Silly Daddy animated cartoon is complete.
This entire short movie was done in the Chiappetta studio by Silly Daddy and his built-in team of child laborers working for under minimum wage. See for yourself.

WHERE: Clarion Sovereign Hotel, West Springfield, MA
This sounds heck-o-fun - I kind of wish I lived close enough to go. Jeph Jacques of Questionable Content is one of the guests of honor and also attending will be Randall Munroe of XKCD and The Ferrett of Home on the Strange. Small crowd, cool guests.
Wizard World Chicago 2007
I'm not seeing any press or event entry on this conventions, so I thought I'd drop it in. I know a lot of webcomic folks (including myself) will be attending or exhibiting. Sadly, it's right on the heels of the San Diego Monster-Con, so this little 40,000 attendee get-together tends to fall in the cracks. :)
