A COLLECTIVE CON Recap + MISFITZ Day One
We wrap our most recent live event, + we update you on DAY ONE of ALL THE SHENANIGANS SO FAR + an ICYMI on our BLOG OF DESTINY Livestream!
Busy busy times around these parts. Today we have a COLLECTIVE CON 2025 wrap up, a DAY ONE review of MISFITZ CLUBHOUSE on Kickstarter, an ICYMI of our BLOG OF DESTINY livestream, and more! So let’s get down to it!
COLLECTIVECON 2025 RECAP
This year’s COLLECTIVE CON 2025 has come and gone, and overall it was a great event! For this first time it was just me (Matt) since we started attending all the way back in 2020. This year the Floorplan had all the COMIC CREATOR guests in-line alongside the artists, and so we were right there able to witness the hardest working man in ART, Peter Raymundo (I dare ANYONE to try and challenge him for this title - it cannot be done I say!) The man is machine, cranking out Disney Art (for characters he helped animate in his time there) at superhuman levels. It was an honor and a privilege to see him at his craft all weekend long. Truly one of the good guys, and someone that DESERVES all the success that comes his way.
Also had a great time being entertained by COSMIC TIMES’ Martin Pierro for the duration. No 80s or 90s pop song is safe when Martin is near haha. Had so many awesome interactions with fans and supporters at the show (many made it into the pics above), and we’re so thankful for all of them. So many returners from the JAX area, but also a heaping helping of brand new faces that made the event memorable (like Halfdolf the Wizard meeting her parents, John Chess playing chess for hours vs anyone he dared challenge him, Carol and her shirt matching our homage cover, and more).
But a lot of what happens at these shows is the post-event meals, where, for the first time, I got to spend time with people like Larry Watts, the crew over at ATTIC DOOR Media (who oddly enough we determined live only a mile of so from TeamINSYM HQ - who knew!), and Steve & Toni Altier.
The weekend is always highlighted by the post-convention wrap with PETER & DOROTHY RAYMUNDO. Literally have lost count of the number of meals we’ve had together after various shows. We have our little group - The RAYMUNDOS, me and STEPH (of course!), the newly integrated Martin, and the late Karl Moline. Many ridiculous conversations and world altering plans have come from these meet-ups. Martin also solved his first Rubik’s cube EVER this time (with Dorothy’s sensei-like guidance, of course)!
That’s all for the CCon wrap for now. There will be a video posted soon of our CONTENT CREATION panel on the main stage. When that happens, we’ll share it. Looking forward to CCon 2026!
SLOTHIE and FERRY provide A DAY ONE ‘MISFITZ CLUBHOUSE’ REVIEW!
It's early on in the campaign, and we’re thankful for all the efforts to make this project successful. We’re super stoked about every aspect of it, and you all are helping to get us one step closer to MINIMUM FUNDING, where the real fun begins... STRETCH GOALS. We have a lot planned for this campaign, but we gotta get to that initial checkpoint first!
If you haven’t checked it out yet, we hope you’ll come JOIN THE CREW, and back it here: www.tinyurl.com/mclubhouse !
ICYMI: #TeamINSYM’s BLOG OF DESTINY LIVESTREAM was last night!
If you missed last night's #TeamINSYM BLOG OF DESTINY Livestream, here it is. We talked mostly about the MISFITZ CLUBHOUSE campaign, but also gave some updates on HEIRS OF ISILDUR, the upcoming TATSUMI: THE SERPENT MISTRESS #1 (you can FOLLOW THIS UPCOMING CAMPAIGN HERE), some live appearance updates, #WhatAreWeConsuming (i.e. what we’re watching, reading, or listening to), and more! Enjoy!
That’s all for now. Back to the grind. Lot’s of work to do!

I DID solve my first cube ever! I mean ... without pulling the stickers off. - Martin
