Hitting The Shelves: Strange Aeons Magazine #5

Hello, once more, Sequential Treasures fans! Your humble blogmaster has returned to bring you the latest news on the happenings of our crew of talented artists. So, sit back and read on!

First off, we have some new product that has just been released, featuring our own Ben Hansen. In Strange Aeon Magazine #5, which has just come out, Ben has a short story in it called "Night of the Driving Dead!" Basically, take fast cars, racing, and some zombies and mix thoroughly. It's wild stuff, to be sure. While Ben has provided cover art for the magazine in the past, this is his first time doing an interior story. So, you certainly don't want to miss out on that. The series has been described as "Heavy Metal Magazine meets Tales for the Crypt," which is just about as good a description as you can get. If you are a sci-fi/horror fan, you need to check his series out. This is a small publication, though, so your local comic shops might not have it in stock. If they don't, just head over to the Strange Aeons website and order it directly from the publisher. You'll be glad you did. The wraparound cover to this issue is shown above.

Now, an update on our scanner problem. Well, it still has not yet been replaced. I've had a few minor sales since I last spoke on this, but we are still a long way off from me having the needed funds to replace this vital piece of equipment. So, again, I ask you all to please open your hearts (and wallets) and head over to our art gallery and make a purchase. Your support and assistance in this matter will be more than greatly appreciated. I really don't like not being able to update new art for sale, so everything you do to help can only benefit us all.

That's all for now. But I'll be back tomorrow with news on our plans for Free Comic Book Day, which is this Saturday! We've got some cool things planned, that I think you'll like. You don't want to be left out of the loop on that. So, until then, peace out!

Talent here, talent there, talent EVERYWHERE!

Hello again, my minions of comic art goodness! Well, the year is quickly speeding to its close, as we have less than two months left in 2010. But if you think this means that those of us at Sequential Treasures plan to rest on our laurels, you couldn't be more wrong. We plan to keep the momentum from October rolling on. In fact, this weekend you have multiple opportunities to see some of our awesome creators in person. Here's the 4-1-1 on where and when...

First off, that bastion of horror artistry, Jason Craig, will be at the Memphis Comic and Fantasy Convention. This is a two day event, but unlike most show that would be Saturday and Sunday, this one is Friday and Saturday (Nov. 5th and 6th, respectively). Jason will, of course, be signing comic and doing sketches for fans, but he's also bringing some new horror related prints with him, which will be unveiled at the show. I asked him what they were, but he wanted to stay tight-lipped on this. So, you'll just have to make sure to stop by and check them out. Here's the show's website, where you can get all the details on the location and other guests.

As if that wasn't enough excitement for you, both Randy Kintz and Ben Hansen will be at the Bellingham Comicon, which is also this Saturday, as well. Both of them will be sketching and bringing there usually large bounty of prints and sketchbooks. This will also be Ben's last show appearance for the year, too. You can get all the info on this show at their website. Are you excited, yet? Didn't I tell you 2010 was going to be the best on record for Sequential Treasures? You know your blogmaster doesn't lie!

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

That's all for now, but I'll be back soon with more news and info for you. Until then, have a safe and cavity-free Halloween! Peace out!

New horrific art for sale from Ben Hansen!

Hey, everyone! Well, time to give you the lowdown on some new art just made available to purchase.

This small batch comes from our own Ben Hansen and is a little bit special. Seeing as how this is the month for Halloween, Ben decided to put up several horror type pin ups on the block. In this update you have pieces featuring characters from Zombieland, Bram Stoker's Dracula, Ash from the Evil Dead saga (shown here), Abe Sapien from the Hellboy franchise, Mrs. Freddy Krueger (which has to be seen to be believed) and more. All of them very reasonably priced, as well. So, head on over to the art gallery and check them out. The, get in the holiday spirit yourself and put in an order.

And speaking of art, we are now officially one week into Randy Kintz's huge 50% off sale! So far, the orders have been light, but I don't expect that to last for long. There's still a lot of great stuff of Randy's that available for rock bottom prices. Don't miss out on the rare occasion to get in on such massive savings!

Well, that's all of now, but there's plenty more to come, as it's looking like October will be another busy month for Sequential Treasures and her roster of talent. So, stay tuned for even more news and updates as they happen. Until then, peace out!

See Jason Craig in Eerie, PA this weekend!

Hey, folks! I'm back once more, with info on an event appearance by one of our own talented artists.

As we all know, October is the month when our thoughts turn to the dark and scary. It is the time of Halloween and all things horrific. With that in mind, if you are in the area, make sure to stop by the Eerie Horror Film Festival in Eerie, PA this weekend. The hardest working man in comics, Jason Craig, is one of the guests. Fresh off his trip to Texas last weekend, Jason is doing a little globe-trotting to meet and greet the fans. He'll have some cool new prints at this show, as well as doing sketches. He'll also be bringing some of his art from the second Jason vs. Freddy vs. Ash mini-series. This is a four day event, running from the 7th until the 10th, and Jason will be there for all four days. This is the seventh year for this show, which has lots of great guests from comics, film and television. You can get all the details on where the show is and who else is there at their website. Of course, if you can't make the show, you can always pick up some of Jason art from us at our art gallery.

Also, speaking of which, don't forget about the "Treat-Not-Trick" 50% off sale on all art from Randy Kintz. We are almost a week into it, so you only have a few weeks left to get in on this tremendously generous opportunity by Randy. There's still a lot of great pieces available, so get your order in before all the good stuff disappears like a ghost. Just head over to the art gallery and place your order.

Well, that's it for now. I have more stuff coming this week, so keep watch here for more updates soon. Until then, peace out!

See Jason Craig at the 2010 Fright Night Film Fest this weekend!

Hey, everyone! Well, we are heading right into the "dogs days of summer," but the temperature outside won't help prevent your blood from turning cold with horror, after you read today's news! That's because our own Jason Craig will be at the 2010 Fright Night Film Fest in Louisville, KY from July 30th-August 1st. Looks like you can never get the Halloween spirit kicked off too soon.

This is the sixth time for this annual event, where all things dark and horrific are brought up into the light. You can get all the full details of what's going down there at their official website. So, if you are going to be in that area this weekend, make sure to stop by artists alley there and say hello to Jason. He'll have prints on hand for sale, as well as be doing some sketches, too.

That does it for now, but I'll be back soon with more goodies for you, including an art update, but not of any of our usual suspect around here. What do I mean? You'll just have to wait and see (Oooo, cryptic). Until then, peace out!

Jason Craig's "horrific" art update debut!

Hey, everyone! Well, we are one week into our massive sale, but that doesn't mean things are just going to coast along around here. I said this was going to be a big week for news and whatnot. And I don't think any news is ever bigger, than when we have fresh new art for sale, unless it also happens to be from a fresh new talent working with us, which this most definitely is!

Making his Sequential Treasures art update debut, is artist Jason Craig. And what we have for you is all 22 pages of art from the first issue of Freddy Vs. Jason Vs. Ash: The Nightmare Warriors, which was a the sequel to the original smash his mini-series. If you like blood and guts style of art, this update will fulfill your craving. As a horror fan myself, I have to say how truly impressed I am at Jason's skills. He manages to be very detailed in his style, yet the art never feels overdone or cluttered (which you can see here in the image shown above). If you are a fan of the classic movie monsters of the 80's, or are simple a horror fan like me, you've got to check this stuff out. Just head on over to our art gallery and treat yourself to a look through the awesomeness of Jason Craig (and then be sure to place your orders).

One thing of note, though, is that this art is not, I repeat NOT, a part of our sale. The listed price is the price. So, no trying to wrangle your way around that, ya hear? But if you want to get something from the artists partisipating in our summertime extravaganza, that's cool, too.

Well, that's it for now. I'll be back with more for you later. I know you are just itching with excitement. Until then, peace out!

Artist Bio: Jason Craig

Hello, my art loving throngs! Well, I've been a bit cryptic and vague about some of the big happenings going on at the Sequential Treasures HQ, teasing you and drawing it out to maximum effect. Well, the time has come to break some of these things to you. So, with much ado, let me inform you all that Sequential Treasures has now become the exclusive art rep for rising comic superstar, artist Jason Craig!

If his name sounds somewhat familiar to you, it will all become very clear, once you read his bio below:

"After attending a comic book convention in 1991 in Chicago, Jason realized his passion was comics. After a hit and miss career over the next 10 years, he finally started working full time in advertising. All of that came to a sudden halt in the winter of 2002.

After an almost fatal crash, a coma, and a hard year of physical rehab, Jason returned to Chicago and landed Grimm Fairy Tales issue #11 for Zenescope. From there began working on the first issue of The Chronicles of Dr. Herbert West (the cover of which is shown here), a series based on the Re-Animator series of horror films, only to be stopped to work on Se7en issue 5 with writer Dave Wohl. Shortly after returning back to the Re-Animator book, he was offered a 6 issue Mini Series of Freddy Vs Jason Vs Ash and worked close with the talented writing team of James Kuhoric and Jeff Katz.

Freddy Vs Jason Vs Ash was nominated for many awards, one of which was a SPIKE TV Scream Award, and from that success Freddy Vs Jason Vs Ash:
Nightmare Warriors concluded the series successfully. Currently he has worked on a story for WOLVERINE #900 for Marvel Comics, various film projects and currently is working on bringing his self published book to life, and the rest is history in the making…"

So, already Jason has become something of a minor star, not only in the world of comics, but also in the world of horror! You can expect big things coming down the pike from Jason and we'll be here to give you all the details. We also hope to have some of Jason's originals up for sale in the near future, as well.

That's all for now, but not all there is. While I've given you a part of the big plans going on behind-the-scenes here, this is by no means the end. I have even more coming down the line and very soon. So, keep your seat belts strapped in, as we rocket forward into the future, with even more big news to come. Until then, peace out!

Randy Kintz CryptiCon exclusive!

And now, as I promised yesterday, here is the exclusive print that our own Randy "Rantz" Kintz will be offering up at the CryptiCon, this weekend in Seattle!

I have to say upfront, that I was very impressed with this one. Randy is well-known for drawing the sexy ladies, but this is most certainly outside his usual comfort zone. He had a very nice edge to these horror styling and I think it is his best work of 2010 so far! It's really cool to see an artist of Randy's skill and caliber stretching themselves artistically. It is definitely a treat for all of you who go to the show and stop by his table. As with exclusive shown yesterday, this one is also a limited print run, so make sure to get your copy before they are gone.

Okay, that does it for now. For those of you going to the show, I hope you have a good time (and perhaps I'll see you there). I'll be back soon with more news for you all, because I'm working on some big things which will be coming up in the next few weeks. I can't say much now, but I can say I think you will all be pleased with the results of my labors. Until then, peace out!

Ben Hansen CryptiCon exclusive!

Hey all! Okay, as promised, I'm back with one of the exclusive pieces you'll be seeing from Sequential Treasures talent at the CryptiCon, this weekend in Seattle.

This one is Ben Hansen's piece. Zombies are always in fashion, no matter what else is out. Ben's always had a great horror vibe to his work and that really shines through in this piece. And not only is this a limited print run piece, which he will be selling at his table, but it also being used as the program cover for the event. How sweet is that? Ben is slowly moving up the ladder and into on e of the best new talents out there. So, if you go to the show, make sure to pick up this print from him, before they are gone.

That's all for now. Tomorrow, I'll have Randy Kintz's exclusive print for the show. You certainly don't want to miss out on that. Believe me, I know. Until then, peace out!
