Of Benefits and Bedevilment!


Hey all! Okay, as promised, I got some more news and info for you today. So, let's get to it, shall we?


First off, some bad news, as Richard Moore will not be making it to SDCC this year. I just learned today that he had a major breakdown on his car and aside from not having the transportation to get to the show, the money he had set aside to attend, must now go to a massive car repair bill. I'm sure you are with me, in wishing the best for Richard in this and hopes that he can make the show next year.


Second, I wanted to recap a little on the March of Dimes benefit at the Comic Evolution this past weekend. Almost $2,500.00 was raised for the charity. Randy Kintz (seen hard at work at the event in the photo here) not only did several sketches for donations, but provided a nice Batman pin up to the silent art auction. You humble blogmaster dropped $60.00 in donations on sketches from some of the other artists there and even bid on a few of the items in the auction (although, I was outbid on them all). My wife did win in it, though, and ended up getting a nice page from the comic series Alias. So, all in all, it was a very worthwhile event and helped raise much needed funds for a very good cause. Thanks to all the artists and fans who came out to support it.


Lastly, I'm just dropping a final reminder about our huge "Economic Independence" sale. There are only a few days left in it, as it ends at 11:59 PM (PST) on Sunday. So, if you have been procrastinating on placing your order, you haven't got much time left. There is still a lot of great art available, so check out our art gallery and get your order in fast. This will be the only sale we hold this year, so don't miss your one chance to get in on the savings!


Well, that's all for now. I hope to have some new shipments of art from our artists very shortly, as well as some other news about some of the things I'm working on behind the scenes. Until then, peace out!

More of Moore: Richard Moore at SDCC 2009!


Hey, comic art fiends! We're back to give you an update on where and when to see some of Sequential Treasures bevy of talents.


As everyone knows, all thoughts are turning towards the San Diego ComiCon this week. Well, this will also be the first (and probably last) chance this year for you to see Richard Moore in person. He'll be at the show Thursday through Saturday, sitting at the Antarctic Press booth. Make sure to stop by there and say hello, and perhaps even get yourself a sketch from the man himself. Don't miss out on what might be the only shot this year to see Richard.


Also, don't forget that our massive 25% off sale is now entering it's final week, as well. If you've been holding off buying to see if what you wanted would still be available, the time to jump in is now. Remember, this is likely to be our only sale all year, so don't miss out on the savings. Head over to our art gallery and place that order pronto! And don't overlook our ongoing poll question, either, which is right to the left. You'll be help us, to better help you, by getting your vote in.


That's all for now. I'll be posting again, within the next couple of days, to give you the lowdown on how the Comic Evolution's "March of Dimes" benefit went, as well as perhaps some other cool tidbits. Until then, peace out!

On the move and in the groove!


Hey everyone! Things have really been happening behind the scenes at Sequential Treasures of late. Got some news and info on some of the latest happenings and things yet to come.


First off, I wanted to let you all know that Randy Kintz will be doing a guest appearance (along with many other creative talents) at the Comic Evolution this Saturday. This is conjunction with C.E.'s event to help benefit the March of Dimes. Several artists will be there sketching for donations to the charity, as well as holding an original art auction at the shop (Randy donated a very nice Batman piece for it, himself). So, if you are going to be in the Puyallup, WA area this Saturday, make a note to stop by the store and check out the scene. It's all going to help a very worthwhile cause, after all. You can get all the details on this at the link provided above.


I also got a little bit of a surprise, when in saw that Exfanding Your Horizons did a piece on original comic art collecting, which linked a number of websites and dealers, including your humble blogmaster. What's more, there were even some nice words of praise for me and my efforts. A big thanks to Alex for putting out the good word on us here. It is very much appreciated and was a very welcome surprise!


Then, of course, we have our "Economic Independence" Sale going on, in which the current inventory of everything in stock from Richard Moore, Chris Ivy and Randy Kintz is all 25% off! The response so far has been... well... not what we had hoped. We are currently at about the half way mark, so you still have time to cash-in on the savings, in what might be the only sale we hold this year. You have until 11:59 PM (PST) on the 26th to get in on the discount. Stop by our art gallery and check out what is still in stock. Lots of good stuff is still available and just waiting to find a good home.


Finally, just a quick note to remind you, that if you haven't already, to please vote in our little readers poll to the left. Remember, this is your shot to let your thoughts be known. We are taking the results of this poll very seriously, so the more votes the better, to give information to provide you better quality of service. Let us know what you think.


Well, that's about it for now. I hope to have some more news regarding more appearances by our artists, as well as some new art for sale, in the near future. Until then, peace out!
