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!

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!

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!

A "Pound-ing" new art update from Richard Moore!

Hey there, art lovers! Well, I said yesterday that I'd have a new art update for you today, so let us get with it, shall we?

This time out, we get a nice batch from our resident superstar, Richard Moore. In this update, you are getting the complete 22 pages from his one-shot of "The Pound!" It's all out action with Kat and Caleb. The awesomely stylish renderings you have come to expect from Richard are in full effect here (as shown in the page above). The prices are reasonable, as usual, as well. So, get yourself on over to the art gallery and check things out. Then, place your orders fast, because the last few updates of Richard's art have been flying out almost as fast as we can list them. Don't miss out!

Also, just wanted to remind you that we still are in the middle of the Randy Kintz 50% off sale, as well as the fact that the art auctions for the Marla Bea Benefit to help fight breast cancer end today. In fact, they are starting to close right now. Many of the pieces are still at or near the starting bit, so you can get some art at a great price and help a very worthy cause. Just head on over to the auctions.

Well, that's it for now, but I'm sure I'll be back with more stuff for you all soon, as the hectic times of October continue one here at Sequential Treasures HQ. Until next time, peace out!

Hitting The Shelves: Brightest Day #12

Hi-ho, all! Time to, once again, drop some info on some new comic book goodness due out this week, which features some of the artistic skills of Sequential Treasures roster of talent.

Coming out at all comic shops everywhere this Wednesday is Brightest Day #12, the latest chapter in the big event going on at DC. As those of you who've been following it know, these books are usually worked on by multiple artists. Well, our own Mick Gray got to ink a few pages in this issue, over the pencils of Patrick Gleason, on the Martian Manhunter part of the tale. According to Mick, it features a somewhat intimate moment between J'Onn and the female green martian. Just make sure to be looking for the cover shown here, when you pick up your weekly batch of comics this week. You'll thank me later.

Also, I have a couple other tidbits for you. First off, is to give a reminder to you that the Marla Bea Benefit comic art auctions, to help raise funds to fight breast cancer, ends tomorrow. Several of our artists did their part in creating an original sketch.pin up piece for the auction, so make sure to do yours and bid on them. Many of the pieces are still at their starting bid prices, so you can get some great art, for a great price, and help out a great cause. You can see the auctions right here.

Then, we have our second reminder about the 50% off sale on all Randy Kintz's current stock. We're over the halfway mark on the sale and there's still a lot of great art available. So, don't delay in placing your orders. Head over to our art gallery and check out all we still have in stock! Do it now, because you won't have another chance of a deal like this for quite some time!

That's about all for now. Tomorrow, I'll have a brand new update of art for you all! I hope you'll all come back for that, as the busy fall season just keeps on rolling around here. Until then, peace out!

Please help us support a very worthy cause!

Hello, everyone. I promised you yesterday I had some very special and important news for you all.

As we all know, October is the month for scares and horror, but it isn't just those we get from Halloween ghosts and goblins. There's also the real horror of deadly diseases, like breast cancer, which is why October is also breast cancer awareness month. This disease will touch millions of lives this year and that is why Sequential Treasures and her artistic roster want to try and help.

To that effect, we are working with The Marla Bea Benefit. This annual event reaches out to the comic book creative community and asks them to donate original pieces of art, in the hope of finding a cure. All artists involved create an original sketch/pin up of a strong female character from comics and add in the pink breast cancer awareness ribbon or the the color pink. We help out last with this event and we are doing so again this year. All the donated art are now being auctioned off on eBay. Our own Mick Gray, Randy Kintz, and Ben Hansen have generously donated an original piece for the cause. Last year they raised over $4,200.00 for the Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. We'd like to see that record broken this year and that's where you come in.

By bidding on these pieces, you are helping to generate funds to help find a cure for this terrible disease. All proceeds from the auctions go to the Holden Center, so please bid high and bid often. With your help we can help make a difference in the lives of women and their families everywhere. This is certainly a most worthy cause to fight for!

If you would like to see the pieces donated by our artists, please go to our Facebook forum and you may view them there. Until next time, peace out and thank you!

New art for sale from Richard Moore!

Hello, Sequential Treasures fiends! I'm back again with another round of art for sale, so I know you all have to be very excited about that.

Well, we just got in a new batch of art from Sequential Treasures resident star, Richard Moore. This time out we have the complete 8-page story of Tin God, from Richard adult TPB Horny Tails, as well as a published one page strip of his creation Deja Vu (shown here). On top of that, you get even more Deja Vu goodness, by way of a previously unpublished 6-page origin story. This was something Richard used to shop the creation around for publication and it is among some of his earliest artwork. So, a very rare treat, to be sure. So, stop by our gallery and give it all a gander. Then, place those order!

Of course, not all my news is good, I'm afraid. I just learned today that artist Pat Carlucci has finally lost his battle with lymphoma. If you remember, last week, some of Pat's artist friends put on some eBay auctions to help pay for the cost of his medical treatment. Well, overnight last night, Pat slipped away. I'm told he went peacefully and surround by his loved one. Pat was a real incredible talent and had many friends among the artistic community, including Sequential Treasures own Randy Kintz. So, if you can, please spare a moment and send your condolences to Pat's family and friends. Thank you.

That's all for now, but I'll be back with more news and info before you know it. Until then, peace out!

Please help an artist in need!

Hey everyone! I know I promised you a report on the Emerald City ComiCon and it is coming. But before I do that, there's something else you need to know about which is of much greater importance.

Artist Pat Carlucci, whom some of you may know either by name or artistic reputation, is very sick right now. He's battling the disease of lymphoma and things don't seem too good right now. Some of Sequential Treasures artists are good friends with Pat and are doing what they can to raise money for the medical costs of his valiant struggle to beat the illness.

So, please, check out the eBay auctions that are currently up from 5Finity Productions. They feature original pin-ups and sketch cards by not only Pat, but from several other artists, including our own Ben Hansen and Randy Kintz (one of Randy's donations is shown here). We at Sequential Treasures would as you to please help, by bidding on these items. If you've ever had a good friend or loved one who has been stuck by a disease like this, you know how Pat's friends and family feel at this moment. Do whatever you can to help make the outcome of his battle one we all can celebrate.

We at Sequential Treasures thank you for your support and compassion in this matter.

Sincerely,

James Meeley

Sequential Treasures Administrator

Helping the cause of raising awareness!

Those of us at Sequential Treasures have always been ones to help out for a worthy cause and the MarlaBea Breast Cancer Benefit is most certainly one of those.

Started by comic art fan Jason Gavin, after his mother and sister were both diagnosed with the disease within two month of each other, he made an appeal to the comic book creative community to donate original pieces of art to help fight for the cause of a cure. Featuring strong female characters from the world of comics, with the color pink or the breast cancer awareness ribbon used in the image, the goal of this fundraiser is to help raise money for breast cancer research. All proceeds from this eBay auction fundraiser will go to the Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics in Iowa City, IA.

Our own Chris Ivy and Randy Kintz (who's donation is shown above), both contributed an original piece of art for this extremely worthy event. So, please show it, what you have failed to show us here at Sequential Treasures... monetary support. The auctions have started today and will run for a week. You may view the items right here. Bid high and bid often, to help this event meet it's goal and help the thousands of women who suffer from this deadly disease each year. Thank you.
