Richard Moore's early Christmas present!

Hey, everyone! I'm back again with lots of exciting news (or, at least, news that's exciting to us here at Sequential Treasures H.Q.), so let me just cut right to the chase.

First off, our scanner issue has finally been resolved. I've gotten a new scanner and am back up to full operational capacity. This means that I will not only be able to replace the images of art I've recently posted, via my digital camera, with much better quality scans (in fact, I've already started to do so), but now new art updates can begin again in a much more timely manner.

And speaking of new art updates, that brings me to the other bit of news I have: A new 20 piece art update from Richard Moore. In this batch we have the complete 18 pages from Chip: Second Crack #2, the original cover to Chip: Second Crack #3, and a beautiful pin-up piece of M'Lady (shown right here)! They've all been updated to our art gallery, so head on over and give them a gander. Any of them would make a wonderful Christmas gift for that one you love (even if that person is yourself). Just think of this as an early holiday gift from Richard Moore and Sequential Treasures, to all of you. And as always, any art order of $150.00 or more gets free shipping across the globe. That big man in the red suit isn't the only one who can offer that.

Well, that about does it for now, but I'm sure I'll have some more news and tidbits for you before the year comes to a close. So, until next time, peace out!

Hitting The Shelves: Gobs #3

Hey there, my fellow art fans. It's once more time to give you all the lowdown on some upcoming work from one of our talented list of artistic masters. Onward and upward....

Getting released this week is Gobs #3 from Antarctic Press and our own Richard Moore. In the third chapter of this four issue mini-series, the gang's new pub--built in the petrified body of a dead giant--is now less a quaint drinking spot and more a reanimated killing machine rampaging through the countryside. Houses are smashed, elves are eaten...and the gobs finally decide they may have to leave their afternoon at the swimming hole and get involved. Expect hilarity and zaniness to ensue, just as you've come to expect from the mind of Richard Moore. And here's some words from others on what they think of it:

"Moore’s vision is unique and I really enjoy it." - Comic Book Newbie

This book is flying under a lot of folks radar, so make sure you pick up your copy at your local retailer this Wednesday. Just look for the cover image shown here. And if they don't have any in stock, tell them to order some.

Also, with the holiday season having officially started, why not get someone you love one of the most unique gifts you can: original art. It is one-of-a-kind, can be enjoyed all year round, and can be a special connection between people. So, stop on by our art gallery and place an order for some of Richard Moore's art (or any of our our other represented talents). As always, any art order over $150.00 get FREE SHIPPING worldwide. Make the season a bit more special and bright, by giving the gift of original art.

That's it for this one, gang. But I'll be back soon with more stuff for you, perhaps even our last art update for 2011 (you certainly wouldn't want to miss that). So, until next time, peace out!

Randy Kintz at the Portland Comic Book Show on Sunday!

Hey there, comic art enthusiasts! As the year is coming to a close, there's still lots of things happening around the old Sequential Treasures homestead. So, let me dish on what is going down.

First off, Happy Veterans Day to everyone! Sequential Treasures would like to throw out a salute to all the men and women who fight and sacrifice, so we can enjoy the freedom to do as we do. Our own Randy Kintz is a veteran, so it is even more important to us to take a moment as thank all of those who serve to protect our way of life. You can join us in doing so at our Facebook page, where we've set up a nice little way for you to express your thanks to Randy and all veterans. I hope you will do so.

Next, this Sunday is the Portland Comic Book Show in Portland, OR. It's not only the state's longest running comic convention, but a mainstay on Randy's own schedule. He'll be hanging out in Artist Alley, with some original art and sketchbooks on hand, as well as doing sketches for the fans. On top of that is his usually array of incredible prints, including a new Black Cat piece that is getting debuted at this show (you can see it on our Facebook page, too). But, take note, some of his classic prints will be getting retired after this show. So, if you are in the area this Sunday make sure to stop by the show and see Randy. It is his last show appearance for 2011. You can get directions and more info on who'll be at the show, at their website. Also, if you are very observant, you might even see a certain blogmaster roaming around the show as an attendee.

Of course, if you can't make the show, you can still get yourself some art by Randy from our art gallery (as well as some art from all of our other fine talents). We live to serve here at Sequential Treasures H.Q.

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

Hitting The Shelves: Batman and Robin #3

Hey there, my faithful comic art fiends! Time to once again give you the lowdown on some upcoming work from our talented creators, that's due to hit the comic shops this week. So, let us get to it!

This week, we have the release of Batman and Robin #3, featuring the inking prowess of Mick Gray, as DC Comics continues the "steamroller" know as The New 52! In this installment, as Robin does all he can to keep his own killer instincts at bay, Batman focuses his energies on Nobody, the deadly enigma from Bruce’s past who has arrived in Gotham and is hellbent on forcing him to accept a new world crimefighting view, even as he infiltrates the Waynes’ personal lives. The drama and action continues!

While many of these New 52 books are getting some nice buzz, Batman and Robin is certainly one of the most praised. Just look below at what some of the critics are saying around the weberverse:

"...Batman and Robin #2 is a fantastic follow-up to a spectacular issue #1." - Erik Norris of IGN Comics

"Batman and Robin #2 is simply a comic with a lot of soul. We need more of this." - Devon Sanders of Chud.com

"Batman and Robin #2 was another great entry from the team of Peter Tomasi and Patrick Gleason." - Kevin of Comic Book Revolution

"There's always room for a comic like 'Batman and Robin'..." - Greg McElhatton of CBR

" Gray’s work gives definition to Gleason’s pencils... It’s breathtaking work." - Iann Robinson of Crave Online

" Worth a look." - Alan Rapp of RazorFine Review

As you can see, the good word on this book doesn't seem to be slowing down. So, make sure to pick up a copy of the latest issue at your LCS this Wednesday. Just look for the cover image shown here. But if you are the impatient type, or simply need more convincing, make sure to check out this six page preview of Batman and Robin #3. You'll be glad you did.

Also, I have an update on the scanner issue. We soon might have a new one, which will mean better quality images of future art updates (not to mention better scans of some of the recent ones we've had). It's not a sure bet just yet, but I'm hopeful that by the end of this month Sequential Treasures will be back to full operating capacity, as far as providing great images of our comic art for sale.

And speaking of that, sales have been... how to put this... extremely dry of late. I'm really at a loss to explain this, especially as we've been updating new art for sale fairly regularly again. With the holidays just around the bend, I'm hoping to see amajor change on this, so we can end our year on a high note. We've even lowered the prices on most of our current inventory. So, if you've been pinching your pennies, now is the time to strike. Stop by our art gallery and place an order. Remember, all art orders of $150.00 or more get FREE SHIPPING anywhere in the world! Can't ask for much better than that, can you?

Well, that's all for now. I'll be back soon with more news and maybe even an art update. Until then, peace out!

Ben Hansen does BellCon 2011 and more!

Hey there, my faithful ones! Time for your blogmaster to drop some knowledge on you, with some news you should have. Today, it's all about our own Ben Hansen.

First off, if you will be in Ferndale, WA this Saturday, you'll have to be sure to stop by the Bellingham ComiCon. They've got some really good guests this year, not least of which is Ben Hansen. He'll be there with his usual array of prints and comics, as well as doing sketches for the masses. This is Ben's last appearance for the year, so you don't want to miss your chance to see him, if you can. He can be found at table #50 (in the artist alley section) and the show runs from 10 am to 5pm. You can get all the necessary information at their website.

Next, I hope you've all been keep tabs on our Facebook page. If not, you are missing out on a set of sneak peek images from Ben's upcoming story from Moonstone Comics. The preview images are from the pages of Zombies vs. Cheerleaders #5. Based from the 5finity card set, the series blends teen angst with undead horror. This is the first part of a two part story. I'll be adding more previews later this week. So, make sure to check in with the page and get a gander at what Ben has in store for you. Think of it as an early Halloween treat. Part one of the story is due out later this month. I'll be sure to let you all know when it's ready to drop.

Lastly, I wanted to throw out a last minute reminder that the Marla Bea Breast Cancer benefit art auctions are ending later today. As you know, Ben Hansen (as well as Randy Kintz, Mike Vosburg, and Matt Haley) donated a piece to this wonderful cause. Many of the pieces up for grabs are still are very reasonable prices, so you have no reason not to throw on a bid on some of the great art that is available. You can view all the donations right here. Do your part to help a very worthwhile cause.

Well, that's all for now. I'll back again soon, as I'm expecting some new art shipments in shortly. Until then, peace out!

Are you looking for some new art?

Hey there, original art lovers! Sequential Treasures is back to give you the lowdown on some new art you can obtain for yourself. So, read on and get your knowledge on!

First off, the art auctions for the Marla Bea Breast Cancer Benefit have begun. This is the benefit's third year in action and they've done a lot of good with the previous art auctions. With nearly 50 pieces collected for this year, there's lots of great art up for grabs with all the proceeds going to help fight breast cancer. A worthwhile cause, if ever there was one. There's even pieces from our own Mike Vosburg, Matt Haley, Randy Kintz and Ben Hansen. You can see and bid on all the art for the benefit right here. Go on and throw some bids out there. The auctions will be running until October 19th, so you have plenty of time to do so. You just might get some great art and help a very important cause.

Speaking of Ben Hansen, if you don't feel you are the lucky type to win some great art, you can always buy some from us. We've just added several new pin-up pieces from Ben Hansen, onto our art gallery. They feature either Transformers or battling babes! Plus you have lots of other great art from our list of fine talents. Stop by the art gallery and check them our for yourself. And don't forget, anyone who places an art order of $150.00 or more gets FREE SHIPPING anywhere in the world! Now, that's a deal that's hard to beat.

Lastly, I have to say I was a bit surprised to get no response from any of you, on how we can improve the service here at Sequential Treasures. While I'd like to believe it's because we are doing everything right, I'm afraid even my ego isn't that large. So, please, let us know what we can do to make things even better for you all. We honestly take your suggestions and concerns very seriously at Sequential Treasures HQ.

Well, that's it for now. I'll be back soon with more new art and news for you all, even as we start to make plans for some stuff for you come 2012. There's no resting on our laurels around here. Until next time, peace out!

Hitting The Shelves: Batman and Robin #2

Hey there, everyone! We're back with more upcoming news for all your Sequential Treasures followers and some other bits of interest. So, strap in and let's get this show on the road!

This Wednesday sees the release of Batman and Robin #2, featuring the peerless inking of our own Mick Gary, from DC's new 52 reboot. It's father and son action, as Batman and Robin face the new menace of the villainous Nobody. That is, when they aren't verbally sparring with each other. This series was one of the better selling ones from the reboot last month and the reviews on it seem to suggest it is a bit of hit with folks. Here's a sampling of what's being said:

"If you are looking for a Batman book to pick up look no further than Batman and Robin." - Kevin of Comic Book Revolution

"Batman and Robin #1 is well paced book with a small dose of action, great dialogue, a memorable new villain, and great work by the art team." - Andrew Asberry of Batman-News.com

"The storytelling is crisp, punchy and clean—in both words and art—even when they both get pretty dark." - Jonathan Messinger of Time Out Chicago

"Batman & Robin #1 is, so far, one of the best of the New 52 releases." - Iann Robinson of Crave Online

"This issue was enjoyable from beginning to end." - Ben Gilbert of Panels On Pages

"... ultimately this tale is fresh, engaging, and a reason to breathe a sigh of continuity-relief." - Joshua Yehl of IGN

So, what more do you need for me to say? Make sure to pick up your copy of issue #2 at you LCS this week. Just look for the cover image shown here.

Now, I'd like to do a little something different. Art sales have been very light around here of late and it is something that needs to change. However, rather than my usual tact of trying to come up with something to help do that, I'm going to give the floor to you, our consumer base. I'd like to know your thoughts. Is there something we aren't doing, but should? Something we are doing, that we shouldn't? Is there something you'd like to see us doing more of? Or less? Or something we are totally missing the boat on? I don't pretend to have a lock on knowledge around here, so let us know what we can do to make the experience more interesting and enticing for you all. You can post your suggestions here, or at our Facebook page, or drop us an email from our art gallery. We really do value your thoughts, so let us know what you are thinking.

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

Of Comicons and Cancer Benefits...

Hey there, my faithful art fans. Time to once again give you all the latest scoop on the happening around the Sequential Treasures home base.

First of all, I'd like to thank all of those who came out to see us at the Jet City Comic Show last Saturday. I'd like to, really, but folks would have had to show up for me to do that. This was probably just about the worst attended show I've ever seen. There were more vendors and artists walking the floor than fans. Needless to say Sequential Treasures will NOT be making an return engagement there. Maybe the show's creators should make sure people actually will show up to the event, before they host it.

Be that as it may, it still hasn't slowed down our own plans. As since October is soon upon us, so is another event that has become a mainstay for us: The Marla Bea Breast Cancer Benefit. For those of you not familiar, a friend of mine start up this benefit a couple years ago, to help raise money to fight breast cancer. He uses donated original pieces of art, from many generous artists, and auctions them off with all the proceeds going to a research center in Iowa that is working for a cure to breast cancer. He does it in October, as that is also breast cancer awareness month.

Those of us who are a part of Sequential Treasures have always helped out in years past and this year in no different. Several of our artists have donated an original piece for the cause. Here's a list of this year's pieces:

• Arcee (from the Transformers) by artist Ben Hansen



• Dagger by Mike Vosburg



• Poison Ivy by Randy "Rantz" Kintz



• Spider-Woman by Matt Haley

You can see all of the art pieces our artists listed above donated on our Facebook page. You can learn more about the benefit, as well as all the other artists who are donating to this worthy cause at their website. The auctions will be starting on October 12th and can be found at this eBay account. Please, do your part and help to support a very worthwhile benefit.

Well, that's all for now. But there is more coming down the pipeline, as we swing into the final months of 2011. Make sure to stay tuned here, as these things develop. Until next time, peace out!

New Mike Vosburg art for sale and convention news!

Hello folks! Well, I'm back again with more news, info and new art for sale. That sure didn't take long, did it? Things are really moving around Sequential Treasures HQ, so let's get right to the good stuff:

First off, we've just added several new pieces of art for sale from artist Mike Vosburg. We have four new pin-ups, featuring Vampirella (as shwon here), Red Sonja, Dejah Thoris and more. As if that wasn't enough, we also have three new published pages of Mike's creation, Lori Lovecraft. The links provided will take you to the pieces. Place an order, if you see something you like. It's all good stuff!

And now, I have some convention news for all of you. This weekend, it will pay to be a west coaster. For Randy Kintz, Ben Hansen and I will all be at the Jet City Comic Show in Seattle, WA this Saturday, while Richard Moore and Mick Gray will be at the Sac-Con in Sacramento, CA on Sunday. So, it's a weekend of meet and greet with Sequential Treasures and much of her artistic roster. If you can make either of these shows, please do as we're always happy to talk to the fans. Link to the shows websites have been provided, so you can get all the details.

Whew! It sure is a busy time for all of us here, but that's the way we like it. That's all the news I have for you right now. I'm sure I'll be back soon, though, with even more. So, until then, peace out!

Hitting The Shelves: Gobs #2

Once again, my faithful followers, it's time to give you more news about some upcoming works, from one of our illustrious talents, which will be available this wednesday in all finer comic shops!

Given the major art update we had this weekend, it shouldn't be much of a surprise that Richard Moore is keeping things rolling. Gobs #2 is due out this week from Antarctic Press. In this issue of the four part mini-series, Milo and the rest of the gobs have finished turning the hollowed-out body of a dead giant into a pub. They reward themselves with a fun, refreshing dip in the old swimming hole. Yay! Splishy-splashy fun! ...Oh, and the giant comes to life and goes on a deadly rampage. More whacky hijinks from the master of merthful comedy. Just look for the cover shown here.

The series has been getting some good reviews thus far. Here's a couple of them:

"The crisp, cartoony, black & white line work in the book is perfectly matched to the script's irreverent style." - Luke Matthews at the Geek Elite Blog at IGN

"[Richard Moore's] art brings it all to life." - The Comic Book Newbie

And don't forget, we just added almost 40 pages of Richard's art for sale at the art gallery. The pages are from Chip: Second Crack #3 and Boneyard #2. Free shipping for any art order over $150.00, too. Head over to the art gallery and place your order now!

Well, that's all for now. But there's more stuff coming this week, including another update of art and some convention appearance news. You'll certainly not want to miss out on those. So, until then, peace out!

The Richard Moore art update you've all been waiting for!

Hey there, all you original art lovers! Some big news for you all today. I've got some of the biggest and best news to hit you all with today, so let me just get to it!

Sequential Treasures has just added almost 40 pages of new art for sale from artist Richard Moore. These are the page sets to two complete issues, as well. But the biggest news, is the titles they are from.First is the complete 17 pages to Chip: Second Crack #3, while the rest are the complete 22 pages to issue #2 of Richard's most beloved series: Boneyard (to which one of the pages is shown here above)!

I've been asked many time when interiors from Boneyard would be available to buy and that time has now come. You can check out all these new additions right here. But get your orders placed quickly, as I expect the best pages to go fast. Also, don't forget, that any order of art for $150.00 or more gets FREE SHIPPING anywhere in the world!

That's all for now, but I have more on the way. I'm expecting more new art before the end of the week and also have news about some more upcoming new works due to be released, as well as some conventions appearances. So, things aren't slowing down in the least around here. Be sure to keep checking in here (as well as let us know what you are thinking about these things). Until next time, peace out!

Hitting The Shelves: Batman and Robin #1

Hey there, faithful one! Well, things are really picking up around the old Sequential Treasures H.Q., which is just how we like it. There's lots of news to let you all in on, so let's get right to it.

First off, we have some new work hitting comic shops this week. DC Comics big relaunch has taken the comic world by storm and our own Mick Gray is a part of the proceedings. Due out on Wednesday, is the Batman and Robin #1 relaunch (which features Mick's inks over the pencils of Patrick Gleason). Bruce Wayne is now teamed up with his son, Damien, but what will be harder for this new dynamic duo: the villains they face, or trying to work together? The only way to find out is to pick up a copy. But do so fast, as this book is one of several that has had a sellout at the distribution level and later printings, while forthcoming, will be tough to come by. Just look for the cover shown here, when you pick up your weekly stash.

But that isn't all, as Mick is going to be doing some local shop signings to further promote this debut launch. On the 15th, you can see Mick at Illusive Comics and Games in Santa Clara, CA. He'll be there from 5pm to 8pm, autographing copies of the book, as well as doing some sketching and talking comics with those who attend. Then, on the 17th, he'll be doing the same at Flying Colors Comics in Concord, CA from 12pm to 3pm. So, if you'll be in the area of these shops during these times, make sure to drop by.

Shifting from comic in shops, to comics on the web, we have Randy Kintz's work on Columbia's Underbelly for Darkbrain Comics. Columbia’s Underbelly is a 116 page story that will be told in 5 chapters – first one starting this week – and then with bi-monthly issues to its completion. So, make sure to join up at Darkbrain's website (linked here) and check out what craziness Randy will be bringing to you. You can see a sample page of it right here.

Lastly, if you haven't joined our Facebook page you are missing out on some fun stuff. Of late, I've been putting up "sneak peek" art from upcoming works by our array of talent. A few weeks ago, I gave you glimpses into Batman and Robin #1. This week, I've been putting up some teasers to Ben Hansen's upcoming one-shot from Moonstone Comics called Air Vixens. So, make sure to "like" us and you'll be able to check out some interesting tidbits on yet to be released works from our roster of artists.

Well, that about does it for now. But there's more to come very soon. I have some new art expected in from some of our artists (including some Richard Moore work I've been asked about more times than I care to remember), plus some convention appearances within the next couple weeks. So, don't expect things to quiet down here for some time. Until next time, peace out!

A not very "labor-ious" art update!

Hey there, art fiends! I hope you all had a great Labor Day holiday, as we mark the unofficial end of summer. But just because the temperatures might start to cool down, we are only heating things up at Sequential Treasures H.Q.! And what better way to show that, than with a new update of awesome art for sale.

First off, we have serveral new pin-up pieces by the illustrious Ben Hansen. In this batch we have them featuring the characters from Transformers, B.P.R.D., and a really sweet Batman (done in zombie style). In addition, we have a beautiful new pin-up of Ms. Marvel, which you can also see above, by the one-and-only Mike "Voz" Vosburg! You can check all of them out at our art gallery. Head on over and place an order. You'll be glad you did (to say nothing of the wonders it'd do for us).

Also, if you have joined our Facebook Page, you really should. Aside from also posting the latest news there, I've been doing extra fun stuff, like posting up special "sneak peeks" at some upcoming art by our wonderfully awesome rosster of talents. Recently, I posted up several preview images from the upcoming Batman and Robin #1 relaunch, courtest of our own Mick Gray, which is due out later this month. I have more coming up from others in the future. So, come over and join in the fun!

Well, that's all for this time, but there's plenty of more stuff coming up over the course of this month, including more art updates (including some art several of you have been asking for), some upcoming convention appearances, and new books hitting comic shop from several of our artists. So, it's going to be a busy month around here. You'll want to check back here often, to keep up with it all. Until next time, peace out!

New art for sale and new changes!

Hey, everyone! There's a lot happening with Sequential Treasures right now, as our changes continue. Some you'll like and others not so much. So, let's get to the latest developments.

First, we've just added almost a dozen new pieces for sale today. We have a cover from Randy Kintz, which is some of his earliest work. Also, we have lots of new pages from inker Mick Gray. These feature his work on Batman and Robin, Brightest Day, Jonah Hex, Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne and the Green Lantern Movie Prequel: Abin Sur (which is shown here in the image above)! All of these pages are penciled by either Patrick Gleason or Ryan Sook, so it's going to be good stuff. Be sure to check these out.

Sadly, though, Not everything is so cheery. As you may have noticed, the prices on all our art has gone up. I've strived very hard to keep prices down, but the economic realities just forced my hand. My costs for running this operation aren't getting smaller, but the sales are. However, there is a bright side to this. For now, any order of art totaling $150.00 or more, will get FREE SHIPPING anywhere in the world. That's right free domestic and international shipping for all orders of art totaling $150.00 or more. So, I've tried to lessen the impact of this necessary price increase. I may have had to bow to the economic harshness of these times, but I'm still trying watching your bottom line, as well.

That's all for now. Convention season is still in gear and I know several of my artists have new books due out next month, so you'll be hearing about more stuff soon. So, stop by the art gallery and check the new stuff and place an order! Until next time, peace out!

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!

Don't faint, but it's a new art update!

Hello, all! Well, I'm back with some more excitement for you all. It's a sort of bad news/good news/bad news kinda thing. So, let's get started, shall we?

First off, our big summer sale was a big summer flop. I don't want to say sales were dry, but the business was mistake for a part of southern Texas and put on a high drought warning. I really didn't know what to make of this, other than folks aren't interested in sales (which is fine with the artists and I, as we prefer getting full price for the art). So, never let it be said I never bow to the wishes of the consumer. Effective immediately, no more sales... EVER! Who says we can provide "instant gratification?" Certainly not I!

Now, while this might be considered bad news, here's the good news part. I've updated some new art for sale. Yes, an actual art updated has happened (try not to pass out). All 21 pages of Fire and Brimstone #5, featuring the peerless talents of Richard Moore, are now up on our art gallery and available to purchase. You can check them out for yourself. However, this is where the other bad news comes in, the quality of the images isn't the best. As I'm still scanner-less, I had to use an old digital camera to get the images for the gallery. They are not of the usual quality you have probably come to expect (the image shown here is one of the best of the bunch). But, when you've got no money, you do what you can. And that's what I did here. [Edit 8/5/11: Just added today are 10 new pin-up pieces from artist Ben Hansen. That makes over 30 new pieces of art for sale this week, so let's get on the stick and place some orders, folks, as you've no excuses to not do so now!]

Well, there we go. Short (somewhat) and sweet (well, maybe more bitterly sweet). That'll do it for this time, but I'm sure I'll be back soon with more stuff for you soon. I sense big changes are coming to Sequential Treasures, so I'll be sure to keep you informed. Until then, peace out!

'Tis the (convention) season....

Hey, everyone! Just stop by today to give you an update on some appearances by some of our vaunted talents.

First off, as most already know, tonight starts the epic San Diego Comi-Con! It's the biggest show all year and it only makes sense of our awesome artists would be there. First up, we have Mick Gray, who can be found in Artist Alley at table #FF-03 throughout all five days of the show. Mick will have the usual array of prints, plus plenty of original art, and doing sketches. Also, if you are really nice, he might give you a bit of a glimpse into what he'll be doing on the reboot relaunch of Batman and Robin, in line with DC's "new 52" event this fall. So, you need to make sure to mark his table as a place to go at the show.

Not to be outdone by that, is Jason Craig, who's not just doing one show this weekend, but TWO! First, he'll be at SDCC from tonight's preview night through Friday morning. Then, it's time to hope a red-eye flight to get to the Fright Night Film Fest in Louisville, KY for Saturday and Sunday. At both shows Jason will be doing sketches and have some originals for sale, but the big news is the project he'll be debuting at these shows. I can't spill the beans, but I can say he'll be working with that living legend of entertainment, John Carpenter! Can't get to work with anyone bigger than that, unless you directly work with God himself, can you? Make sure to stop by and say hello to Jason, if you are either of these shows. Just look for the handsome fella in the pic shown here.

You can get more info on Fright Night Film Fest at their website, and more about SDCC at theirs.

Lastly, I'd be remiss if I didn't remind you that our massive summer sale is almost over. It ends tomorrow night at 11:59 PM (PST), so you've got less than 36 hours left to save. There is still a lot of great art available. So, head on over to our art gallery and place your order ASAP! We won't have another sale this big again for quite some time. You'll be sorry if you miss you chance to get some great art and a rock bottom price!

Well, that all for now. But the summer is far from over yet. I'll be back before you know it with more news and info for you all. Until then, peace out!

Hitting The Shelves: Gobs #1

Hello, once more, my faithful ones. Well, as the saying goes, "when it rains it pours!" After being fairly silent for a while, now things are seeming to steamroll ahead at a breakneck speed. After yesterday's big announcement, we have some new comic work coming out this week, from our own Richard Moore.

Tomorrow sees the release of Gobs #1, from Antarctic Press. Here's the basic outline for this four issue mini-series: Gobs are the worst. Just the worst. Don't think goblins'll ever move into your neighborhood? Don't be too sure. After getting kicked out of their favorite pub, this typically vile group builds their own pub...in the hollowed-out body of a dead giant. Lovely, eh? So beware...Gobs are coming. Make sure to look for the comic shown here, when you hit your local comic shop this Wednesday. It looks to be another winner from the demented mind of Richard Moore!

Also, just a reminder, that Friday starts our massive summer sale on selected artists. So, if you want in on the huge savings, check out what's available on our art gallery and then place your orders will all due haste. You won't be sorry.

That's all for now. I'll be back soon with even more news for you. Until then, peace out!

Bringing another kind of "summer heat" to you all!

Hey, everyone! Well, summertime is officially in full swing! Things are heating up all over, but nowhere more than they are at Sequential Treasures. As those of you in the know already know, when summer hits, so does our annual major summer sale! This year is certainly no different.

So, having talking it over with our various array of talents, here's the break down of who is involved in this year's extravaganza and how low the discounts will go:

Ben Hansen: all current inventory 35% off the listed price!

Randy Kintz: all current inventory 35% off the listed price!

Richard Moore: all current inventory 35% off the listed price!

Matt Haley: all current inventory 40% off the listed price!

Wow, some major league savings on a lot of really great art! And by "all current inventory," we mean ALL of it. Cover, pages, pin-ups, the whole works. If it is on the gallery, it's at those discounted levels. But that's not even the end of it. I've decided to add a small incentive, as any order placed for over $100.00 or more, will also get a special little something from me, as well. I don't want to spoil the surprise, but I'm sure those who do so will enjoy it (and this will even be extend to purchases of art by artists not involved in the sale, as well, because I'm just a nice kind of guy that way).

So, when does all this madness begin? Well the sale starts July 1st (at 12:01 a.m. PST) and will run through July 21st (until 11:59 p.m. PST). That's three whole weeks to get in on these massive savings! So, don't delay in getting your orders in. Go to our art gallery and check out all the great stuff that's available, then place your orders promptly (as I doubt the best stuff will be sticking around very long)! Let Sequential Treasures help you kick off the summer in grand style!

Also, for those interested, Randy Kintz's commission raffle, which I told you about last time, have ended and the winners chosen. The grand prize winner is Jerry Livengood (who is obviously doing that!)! Congratulations to him! I'll try to be sure to let you all see a picture of what he chose for his commission, as soon as one is available. To get the info on who all the various levels of winners were, you can read that right here.

Well, that's all for now, but there are still other things brewing in the background at S.T. HQ, which I can't tell you about now, but will later when the time is right. Until then, don't forget to get in on our awesome summertime sale! Peace out!

Matt Haley's left turn at Albuquerque!

Hello, my fellow art fans! It would seem that things have been quiet around the Sequential Treasures HQ for a while... a bit too quiet. Well, we're hoping to change all that, with some major news bits for you all today.

First off, if you are going to be in Albuquerque, New Mexico this weekend, then you'll surely want to stop by the Albuquerque Comic Expo. Why? Well, there are lots of reasons, but none better than our own Matt Haley will be in attendance there. He'll be talking about a project he's working on with, none other than the legend himself, Stan "The Man" Lee (who will also be at the show). Plus, he'll also be talking about his awesome Star Wars fan film, Blackstar Warrior, as well as doing sketches and the like. So, if you are in the area, stop by the show and spend a few minutes with Matt. You'll be glad you did. But this is just the beginning of our news.

Randy "Rantz" Kintz also has something special going on, as well. He's holding a special commission raffle contest. The price per ticket is $5 , with a max purchase of 15 tickets per person. Only one person can win a prize, to keep it fair for everyone involved. There are also incentive prizes, for people to purchase more than one or two tickets. You can get more info on this, as well as a list of the incentive prizes right here. But your time is limited to get in on this, so don't delay in getting your chance at some really cool art and stuff. Of course, if that fails, you can always pick up something from Randy's eBay listings, or something of his from our art gallery, which are just as cool.

I also want to bring your attention to something a good firend of mine alerted me to. There is a benefit to help a family in need who lost their dad/fiancé recently. This friend also has a piece of thier own artwork as part of the benefit. Sequential Treasures has always liked to help out in situations like this, whenever we can. So, head over to the website on this, to get all the details on how you can help and perhaps get some awesome art in the process.

It wouldn't be a news report, if I didn't update everyone on the scanner situation. Well, I still haven't replaced it yet, as sales have been beyond light. Despite this, however, the problem will be resolved shortly. To get this side of the program rolling again, I made a very large personal sacrifice to get the funds needed for a new scanner. So, it will not be long before we are running at full steam with art updates again. Of course, that won't be until after the last bit of news I have for you...

As summer is officially here, you all know that it's almost time for our huge summertime sales event, that we hold every year. I'm currently working out the details with our stable of artists, but will have a more defined outline of who'll be involved and how deep the discounts will be. So, make sure to stay tuned here in the coming days, as I'll be providing that information very soon. Probably be a good idea for you to start saving your pennines now, too.

Well, that's if for now. I'll be back before you know it with our big summer sale info, as well as some other news and info as it happens. Until then, peace out!
