A fresh deal, for a fresh new year!

Happy 2010 to you all, my faithful ones! A new year brings with it a sense of hope and opportunity, as a new beginning usually does and it is no different for us here at Sequential Treasures. Our little holiday break was just the ticket to help us recharge and regroup to make this year even better than the last one. So, in an effort to kick off the new year right, and with the full support and blessings of our artistic stable of talent, we are giving you the chance to grab up some art at a discounted price.

Randy Kintz is going to lower his price on the Batman and Justice League pin ups, from $250.00 to $175.00 respectively. In addition to that, all the art in the published pin-ups room will be discounted $20.00 per piece from the listed price. Some nice bargains to be had on an artist who is only growing better as time goes by.

Not to be outdone, both Richard Moore and Chris Ivy both have decided to drop 20% off all the art I have in stock from them right now. Everything by them, from covers, to pages, to pin-up, is now 20% off! Certainly a nice way to ring in the new year, I must say!

All of this will be running from Jan. 2nd (beginning at 12:01 am PST) through Jan. 10th (until 11:59 pm PST). So, don't delay in placing those orders, as there is only a very limited time to get in on these first great savings for 2010.

That's all for now. But keep tuned in here for more, as I have some things in the works for this year that you will be hearing about very soon, including shipments of new art, a schedule of shows we'll be attending and even some new talent joining the ST family. You don't want to miss staying informed, so make sure to check in here as often as you can. I really am planning to make 2010 superior to 2009! So, until next time, peace out!

Giving thanks for all of you!

Hello again, my loyal art addicts! Time to drop some more news on the happenings here at Sequential Treasures HQ for you all.

As I'm sure most everyone is aware, Thanksgiving is almost upon us. It is a time where we pause to reflect and show a little gratefulness to the good things in our lives (before we stuff out bellies full of fattening foods, that is). And it's no different for us here. In fact, artist Randy Kintz has decided not to simply reflect on what to be thankful for, but to extend a little something special to those who've helped give him something to be thankful about, namely all of you.

So, at Randy's behest, starting this coming Monday, all of the pages from Jason and the Argonauts that we currently have in stock will be reduced in price to $20.00 a page, or 6 pages for $100.00! In addition, all of his published and unpublished pin ups will be 10% off (with the exceptions of the recently added Batman and Justice League pieces). This is just his way of thanking all of you for your support this year. This special discount will run from Nov. 23rd (starting at 12:01 AM PST) and go through to Nov. 30th (ending at 11:59 PM PST). So, make sure to check through everything and place those orders quick, if you want to take advantage of Randy's special offer of thanks.

That's all for now. I'll be back soon with more news and info for your, regarding new art available and some other tidbits. Until then, we of Sequential Treasures wish you and yours have a very happy and fulfilling Thanksgiving! Peace out!

Going "batty" at the Portland Comic Show!

Hey there, my faithful art lovers! Well, we are back from the excursion to the Portland Comic Book Show. So, here's a little rundown of how things went...

It was a nice time overall, for those of us at Sequential Treasures. Randy Kintz was kept fairly busy, selling prints and doing sketches. A couple of highlights were his doing a sketch of the Vision for a little boy and a Catwoman for a little girl. In fact, there were quite a few kids at this show, which was something I was happy to see, as I ended up giving out 40 free comics to kids at the show yesterday. It's just a small way I try to help them to foster the love of this great artform and entertainment source.

I got to meet some really great folks at the show, too, including Andrew from the Comics Bronze Age blog and an unexpected visit from my friend, and comic artist extraordinaire, Matt Haley. Then, of course, we had some folks dressed up walking around. I snapped this shot of a lady done up as the television version of Batgirl. I have to say, her costume was pretty well done, too. I also had some nice chats with folks about the finer points of original comic art, as well. I even picked up a few sketches for myself, including this little gem from Jason Metcalf and another one from Gene Ha.

If there was any downside to the show, it would have to be, once again, a lack of sales. As with Seattle the week before, it seems folks just didn't want to open their wallets for us. I really hope this trend is broken soon, because going to shows isn't free for us and we can't keep absorbing losses forever. Hopefully, with the Holidays soon upon us, folks will help us to end the year on a bright economical note.

But while the con season is over for Sequential Treasures until next year, you'll still have chances to meet some of our artists. Randy Kintz will be at the Comic Evolution shop in Puyallup, WA this Wednesday, to help promote the recent release of DRONE #1, from Red 5 Comics. So, if you are in the area, make sure to stop in and pick up a copy. Also, while at the Portland Show, Randy gave me a few new pin up pieces he's done recently, which you can see right here. They feature Batman, the JLA and the gals of the X-Men, respectively. I have to say, with all honesty, I think these pieces are some of the best stuff I've seen from Randy this year (and considering some of what he's done, that's saying something). I hope to have the original art for DRONE #1 within the next few weeks, as well as possibly some new stuff from Richard Moore and the very M.I.A. Chris Ivy. So keep a watch out for that. [Update - 11/17/09: Just thought you all should know that the Hero Initiative's latest round of "Wolverine 100 Project" auctions, including the one donated by Chris Ivy, are ending tomorrow. So, if you haven't bid on it yet, be sure to do so soon!]

Guess that will do it, for now. Make sure to keep tabs on us, as there may yet be some last minute surprises for you all, from those of us at Sequential Treasures, before the end of the year. Until then, peace out!
