Free Comic Book Day 2011 with Sequential Treasures!

Hey, folks! Well, I promised you a rundown on what our plans were for Free Comic Book Day this Saturday. Are you getting jazzed for it? We certainly are here, since it also the event's 10th anniversary, as well.

Sequential Treasures will be at Central City Comics in Ellensburg, WA for the event. I'll have all the originals from our bevy of talents with me, as well as some sketchbooks by Richard Moore, as well as our exclusive prints that we had available at Emerald City ComiCon a couple months back. And, just because I'm so nice and want to get into the full spirit of the day, the store isn't the only one who'll be giving out free comics. I'll be handing out some free comics for kids who show up, as well. But that's not the end of the festivities.

Randy Kintz will also be there with me. He'll be doing sketches and the like, plus he'll have his large array of prints, including his new ones that just debuted at Boston Con last weekend. And the store's owner has some of his own plans, which includes other artist guests (in this case, Jason "Eternal Descent" Metcalf and Jason "Super Real" Martin), discount of selected products, and a raffle for some cool prizes (which you can get tickets for with every can of food you donate to their food drive). On top of all that, he'll also be opening the shop an hour earlier than normal, to give folks more time to get in on the fun. You can get the shop's location information at their Facebook page. We look forward to a good time to be had by all!

But this isn't the only places where you can see some of Sequential Treasures talent. Ben Hansen will be at Docking Bay 93 in Mount Vernon, WA and inker Mick Gray will be at Flying Colors Comics in Concord, CA! So, you have multiple opportunities to see our talent up close. But no matter where you are, I hope you all will have a good FCBD event, wherever you might be. Enjoy the day! {Update: 5/6/11: Just learned that artist Jason Craig will be at a shop call Outer Limit Comics in Murfreesboro, TN}

That's all for now. Time for me to get thing ready for the big event. I hope to see some of you there. For the rest of you, 'll probably just have to wait to read my post-event report. Until next time, peace out!

Last minute Holiday surprises!

Hey folks! Well, Christmas time is almost here. So, as your thoughts turn to merriment and all things filled with cheer, Sequential Treasures has a couple of things your should know, before your festivities get into full swing.

First off, Ben Hansen will be making his final appearance of the year this Saturday, at the Bellingham, WA comic shop call Docking Bay 93. He'll be on hand for the "Toy-apalooza" event, which is collecting gifts for TOYS4TOTS. For every toy you buy for the cause you save 25% and you will get a free sketch from Ben. He will also have his prints, Battle Amongst the Stars#3 and more on hand for sale. Ben will also be donating 50% of the profits from the sales on that stuff to the TOYS4TOTS, as well. So, if you'll be in the area this Saturday, make sure to stop by the shop and help out a very worthy cause (and maybe get a little artistic gift for yourself in the process).

Lastly, and this is a biggie, Sequential Treasures will be on hiatus starting Saturday and will not be up again for business until after the first of the year. Your old blogmaster is taking a couple weeks off to see some family and friends for the holidays. Besides which, I'm long overdue for a break and some R & R. I hope all of you will have a very safe and joyous holiday and hope you'll be as raring to go after the start of 2011 as I hope to be. Thanks for a great year, folks, but let us make next year even better!

That's all for now. I'll be talking with you all next year! Until then, peace out!

Sequential Treasures celebrates Free Comic Book Day!

Hey there, my faithful fellows! I've returned to give you all the inside scoop on more happenings with Sequential Treasures and her artistic talent. Today, I want to hit you all up with the plans we have for Free Comic Book Day this Saturday.

First off, Randy Kintz and yours truly will be doing a event (along with artist Jason Metcalf) at a local comic shop in Ellenburg, WA called Central City Comics! To get into the spirit of the day, in addition to the free comics that will be on hand, the owner has said they are going to have lots of $1 comics and $10 trade collections available to buy. On top of that, they will be holding a canned food drive for F.I.S.H ( which stands for Friends In Service to Humanity). It's a local food bank, which helps those in need. To sweeten the pot of giving, for every can of food you donate to the cause, you will get a ticket to be entered into a raffle drawing for some awesome prizes, such as a complete set of Lantern color rings from "The Blackest Night" event, as well as gift certificates, and a chance to win an awesome original art jam piece, featuring Iron Man vs. War Machine, which was created by Jason Metcalf and Randy Kintz specifically for this event (I'll have a scan of the image for you all tomorrow, so make sure to come back). There will also be an exclusive print of it available, as well.

As for Sequential Treasures, well, we'll have all our original art on hand to sell (with some discounted prices on some things), as well as Randy Kintz doing sketches, selling his large array of prints, and autographing copies of his hit mini-series Drone. All of this will going on from 12pm to 60 pm (PST). So, if you are going to be in Ellensburg on Saturday, makes sure to stop by and check out all the good times to be had there. You can get the full details and address info from right here.

Also, our own Ben Hansen will be doing a sketch and autographing event for his local shop Docking Bay 93, in Bellingham , WA, as well. So, if you can't make one event, you have another chance to see some of Sequential Treasures talent in person. You can get the info on this event from this website.

Well, that's it for now. Be sure to come back tomorrow to check out the awesome Iron Man vs. War Machine jam piece, which will be raffled away to one lucky winner this Saturday. Until tomorrow, peace out!

Hitting The Shelves: Battle Amongst The Stars

Hey there, everyone! Well, it's that time again, to let you know about some new comic product that will be found at your local comic shop this week, which features the peerless talents of Sequential Treasures artistic stables.

Coming out this Wednesday, is Roger Corman Presents: Battle Amongst The Stars from Bluewater Comics. This mini-series, which is a prequel tale from Corman's classic sci-fi film "Battle Beyond The Stars," features the pulse-pounding artistry of our own Ben "1314" Hansen. This marks Ben's first comic release in 2010, but hopefully it will translate to more. I also know that Bluewater has gotten a bad rep in the press recently, for non-payment of their talent. But I would still urge you to pick up this book, as not doing so will hardly result in the creators seeing any money. Just look for the cover art shown here, when you pick up your weekly stash.

Also, to help celebrate the book's release, Ben will be doing a signing session at The Docking Bay 93 in Bellingham, WA, from noon to 5 pm (PST) on Wednesday. If you will be in the area at that time, make sure to stop in and get your copy autographed. You might even be lucky enough to get a sketch from old "1314" himself. A good time is sure to be had by all.

That's it for now, but I have more news and info coming all this week. So, stay tuned to this blog for further updates as they happen. Until next time, peace out!
