Greetings, loyal (test) subjects! The lab has not particularly been a hive of activity of late, so we are terribly sorry if we forgot to feed you in the interim. Hopefully the occasional lost interloper sufficed.

We are not gone. In fact this very weekend we shall be emerging to host a table at Season’s Screamings, otherwise known as the Midsummer Scream horror convention temporarily relocating itself to provide some nightmares before Christmas! You may find us at Booth 843 at this extravaganza being hosted by the Pasadena Convention Center, as denoted in this handy graphic:

Dawn will have old and also brand new(!) spooky selections of her artwork available. Meanwhile fans of Zombie Ranch will be pleased to know that print issue #17 has recently been finished and the webcomic itself has restarted (albeit still somewhat sporadically) after a tumultuous year.

If you can’t make it to the convention, do be sure to give our online Redbubble of Art of Dawn shopfronts a look for last-minute gift ideas, accessible through labreject.com’s STORE links. Take care and stay healthy for the new year! We have many more experiments planned, after all…
