Howdy folks, we’re BACK!!! Man oh man, California was amazing, one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. The highlights included wandering San Diego, conquering the comic convention, rockin’ out at Disney Land, exploring L.A and visiting DreamWorks Animation Studio… but the BEST part was meeting so many wonderful and inspiring people, and making some amazing friends on our journey. To everyone at ComicCon who stopped by the Flight booth to say hello, THANK YOU so much! Each and everyone of you was an absolute pleasure to meet, I have definitely got the sweetest (and best looking) readers around! To new readers who’ve just started here, welcome to “Shrub Monkeys!” If you’re curious about what’s going on here, there’s a FAQ and an about page way up top, I hope you enjoy the comic!
The next good chunk of strips is going to be related to our California happenings (I’m back at work storyboarding, and nothing really happens to me while I’m busy boarding) so California should be much more interesting for you to read and for me to draw. And now for some quick announcements:
I’ve decided to bid a fond farewell to girlamatic.com and move Shrub Monkeys to my own website as of September 1st. I’ve had a great time being a part of this community of warm and talented creators, but feel it’s time to start building up my own place on the web. The strips will stay active on girlamatic.com, but I’ll be updating only on www.ktshy.com when the site launches Wednesday Sept 1st. I’ll keep you guys updated on that.
This is a bit far in advance, but for the majority of October I’ll be in Florida attending a Master Class in graphic storytelling with Paul Pope! Very exciting times. While I won’t be around to respond to comments or emails, I’m working on stock piling some comics so you guys shouldn’t notice my absence. I’m almost at the end of my storyboard contract, and don’t anticipate taking on any new animation work until after I return from Florida, so there’ll be time to catch up on comic making (TIME, precious, precious tiiiime…)
And last but not least, Flight: Volume 7 is available for purchase on amazon.com and should be available at your local bookstores and comic shops as well! Shagster and I have a short story in it called “Fairy Market,” alongside a whole whack of wonderful tales. So check that out if you get the chance 
Anyhoo, I’d best get back to work, thanks for reading guys!
