News, news, and more news! Read all about it!



Hey, everyone! Your faithful blogmaster is back to give you the latest news and info on our awesome array of talented artists. There's a lot of stuff to cover here, some of it good and some not so much, so let us get to it!






First off, Randy Kintz's work is making the rounds in a very special way. You recall last September I told you how some of his art was part of a museum exhibit called "Comics at the Crossroads," which featured many artists from the Pacific Northwest and focused on how the art of comics and the graphic novel has had a substantive impact of literature and history. Well, the exhibit is making the rounds and will be at the Boise Art Museum in Boise, ID. The exhibit will debut there tomorrow and run through Nov. 27th. If you are in the area, make sure to stop by and check it out. It's a big honor for Randy and we here at Sequential Treasures couldn't be prouder of him. You can get more info at the museum's website.






Next, just in case you missed it, Mick Gray did an interview at the DC Comics blog this past Tuesday. In it, they talk to him about his long career and other things. Best of all, you get a sneak peek at a couple of pages to Batman and Robin #1, from the upcoming major company reboot starting next month. It's pretty cool stuff, so make sure to read up here, if you haven't already.






Lastly, and sadly the part that is the bad news I mentioned, there's still more changes happening at Sequential Treasures. Due to a complete drought of sales for the past several months, and with me seeing no way to avoid doing this any longer, I must unfortunately inform you all that, very shortly, prices on our artists art will be increasing. My costs of running this operation aren't getting any smaller and this is really the only thing left for me to do. As you all know, I've strived very hard over the past several years to keep prices lower and more affordable to allow more people access to the wonderful treasure trove of art from our talent. But economic realities don't cease, just because we want to be nice. So my advice to all of you, is that if you've been eye-balling a piece on our art gallery from a while, but have been holding off on buying, you'd best pull the trigger ASAP, or you'll be paying more for that piece in the near future.






Well, sorry to end this post on such a down note. Hopefully, things will pick up soon and I can come back with brighter and happier news in the next one. We still have convention season going strong and I know of some upcoming shows our talent will be at, as well as some new comic works that are set to debut over the next couple of months. So, there is more good news ahead and I'll be sure to bring it to you. Until then, peace out!
