Hitting The Shelves: Drone #3

Hello, my art loving minions. I have to tell you, I can't remember what Sequential Treasures has been so jam-packed with news and updates, as we have been this week. Inevitably, with a week as big as this one is, something is bound to slip through the cracks, which is exactly what has happened here.

With all that's been going on and coming up, I totally spaced it and fail to mention that Drone #3, from Red5 Comics and featuring the peerless talents of Randy "Rantz" Kintz, hit all the finer comic shops this Wednesday. I wish I could say that was all beyond my control, but I've never been on to lie (although, this might have been easier for me, if Diamond Comics website didn't seem to keep going down as often as a $10.00 hooker at the Democratic National Convention). So, let me try to make amends right now and tell you all to go out and pick up a copy.

This mini-series has been making the rounds with online critics. Here's a couple of recent reviews right here:

"Industry relative newbie artist Randy Kintz (Legend of the Isis) does a well
above-average freshman job of framing the story of Drone. His style is
very angular and straight-lined, but that adds to pulp-like heroics that the
plot revolves around." - Eric from The Pullbox.com

"If you haven’t been reading this series go back and pick up the first two as it's worth
to read." - Brandon Pilley from Omnicomic

As you can see, the good word of mouth about this book is only growing, so make sure to get your copy of what just might be one of the best received mini-series of 2010. Just look for the cover image shown here.

Lastly, I totally failed to notice that this blog's one year anniversary was last week, as well. Boy, time sure does fly, doesn't it? Let me just thank all of you who've stopped by here in the last year and have supported us over that time. It really means a lot to all of us at Sequential Treasures. Hopefully, the best is only yet to come! Until next time, peace out!

Matt Haley is open for commissions!

Hey, everyone! The greatest week ever for Sequential Treasures continues. Today, as promised, we bring you the commission rates list for artist Matt Haley.

Pictured here is the complete list of Matt's rates. What's more, he has a few commission slots open right now in his schedule. So, if you are interested, please contact us to get on the list. These spots are limited, so it will be first come first served. Also, allow for at least 6-8 weeks for completion. We are hoping to have some of Matt's originals in the near future, so be sure to stay tuned for that.

Finally, I just want to remind you all that we are on Facebook and have our own group forum there. Some of our artists post over there, so you can have the chance to interact with them. Come on over and join us. If you have any questions or suggestions for us or our artists, please post them up there. You'll most likely get some replies to your queries.

Well, that's all for now. I'll be back soon with more info and news for you all. Until then, peace out!

Ben Hansen makes a splashy debut!

Hello, Sequential Treasures fans! Well, in what is quickly becoming the most banner week ever for us, I'm here again with more info and updates for you.

Today I have the pleasure of presenting you all with the debut art update from one of our newest artistic finds, Ben Hansen. Ben sent me a small stash of pin ups, just to help break the ice with you. In this batch you'll see great stuff like Batman, Joker, Hawkgirl, She-Hulk a couple of Transformers and more (including the great piece shown here of Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter). Stop by the art gallery and get familiar with Ben's work and make an order, if the spirit moves you.

As if this was good enough, we also have the fact that Ben's sketch cards for 5Finity's Voltron set is also now available, too. Just head on over to the Voltron website and place your order. The sketch cards are randomly used, so there's no guarantee you'll get Ben's, but you'll never know unless you try, right?

Well, that does it for now. I'll have another update for you all tomorrow, concerning our latest talent addition, so you'll want to make sure to be here for that. Until then, peace out!

Artist Bio: Matt Haley

Hello, my comic art faithful. I told you I'd be back soon with more news and info and you know your not-so-humble blogmaster has never lied to you before, so why start now?

Today's news is probably some of the biggest I've had to give in some time. It's something I've been sitting on for a bit, until the time was right to spring it. Well, all has fallen into place and that time is now: Sequential Treasures is now the exclusive art rep for big time comic star Matt Haley! This is very big news for us here and we couldn't be more excited to be working with an artist of Matt's reputation and caliber. I'm sure many of you are familiar with Matt's art from his time at the big two. But for those of you not so in the know, here's a small rundown on Matt's career:

"Artist Matt Haley is well known in the world of comic books for his years of work for Marvel (THE ORDER, HEROES REBORN: REBEL), DC (SUPERGIRL/BATGIRL: ELSEWORLDS FINEST, BIRDS OF PREY) and Dark Horse (GHOST), but he attracted a whole new audience thanks to the illustrations he provided for HarperCollins' new book BADASS, by Ben Thompson, in bookstores nationwide.

Already hard at work on the sequel, Haley also heeded the call to Hollywood and created art for both seasons of Sci-Fi Channel’s hit series, “Stan Lee’s Who Wants to be a Superhero?” But never to forget the industry that helped put him on the map, he remained a fixture in comics working on the art to Superman Returns movie adaptation. Haley’s talent and reputation as an artist have created a demand for his work that spans the entertainment industry.

More recently, he was lead artist for Rift Software's "Liberty Rocket" XBOX game, as well as providing covers for FEMME NOIR for Ape Entertainment, TANGENT: SUPERMAN'S REIGN at DC Comics, and Avatar's relaunch of LADY DEATH. He's
also just directed a secret film project that will be viral on the web by May."

As I said, this is big news. The only down side, is that Matt doesn't have very much of his past originals left for sale. However, Sequential Treasures is working with him to create new exclusive pin up pieces to be sold through us, as well as lining up commission works for him. We will shortly have a commissions rate chart available, so make sure to check in with us shortly, if you'd like to get your own Matt Haley original. Even better, Matt will be at Emerald City ComiCon in March, along with myself, Randy Kintz and Ben Hansen. So, Sequential Treasures looks to be out in force come March and you'll have the opportunity to meet many of the talented creators in our stables.

Wow, how exciting, huh? Things just continue to move onward and upwards for Sequential Treasures and we hope you'll be along for the ride. That's all for this time. I'll be back with more news and updates soon. If they turn out as impressive as this one, you just might not be able to stand it! Until then, peace out!

New Richard Moore art available to purchase!

Hello everyone! Sequential Treasures is back with a nice big art update from Richard Moore. It's been a while since the last update from Richard and I know some of you have been awaiting one. Well, the wait is now over!

Now available to buy are the cover and pin-ups from the colored reissue of The Pound #1 (including the piece shown here). This was the issue that slipped in under many folks radar last November. Also, we have a couple of unpublished pin-ups featuring the characters from Richard's little known creation, Deja Vu. And for you lovers of Richard's adult themed works, we have over a dozen pin-up from the Horny Tails TPB collection, featuring Meg from Far West, M'Lady and more! But be warned, these are most certainly NSFW. So, make sure to stop on by and check out what's new!

Even better news than this, I've worked out a form of scheduling with Richard on obtaining more of his originals. So, you can expect smaller gaps between updates of art for sale by him. This means more Moore will be available for everyone in 2010! Rock on!

That's it for now. I'll be back soon with more news and hopefully more art updates. Until then, peace out!

Where everybody knows your (screen)name!

Hello, my faithful minions of comic artistry! Today I want to let you all know that, in an effort to stay current (or, at least, not lag any farther behind) and give you all someplace to gather, we've started a Sequential Treasures Forum on Facebook.

This will be a place where you can not only get updates and info on what's happening with all things Sequential treasures, but can more fully interact with us (and each other), to bring a greater sense of community and cooperation. Both Randy Kintz and Ben Hansen are members, along with your illustrious blogmaster, so you will now have the chance for asking questions, express your thoughts on comic art, and get to know more about the fine folks who make us this madcap bunch. I'm also adding this new forum to our link list on the sidebar, as well.

I hope you will all join us there, as your input is very important, not to mention valuable, to us. As for this blog, I will still continue to post info updates, for those of you who are not into the social networking thing. This is just another way we are reaching out to bring you better service and more information.

That's all for now. I'll be back with more juicy tidbits on things coming up soon, as the convention season is almost upon us. Until then, peace out!
