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! Plus you have lots of other great art from our list of fine talents. Stop by the art gallery and check them our for yourself. 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!

Bringing another kind of "summer heat" to you all!

Hey, everyone! Well, summertime is officially in full swing! Things are heating up all over, but nowhere more than they are at Sequential Treasures. As those of you in the know already know, when summer hits, so does our annual major summer sale! This year is certainly no different.

So, having talking it over with our various array of talents, here's the break down of who is involved in this year's extravaganza and how low the discounts will go:

Ben Hansen: all current inventory 35% off the listed price!

Randy Kintz: all current inventory 35% off the listed price!

Richard Moore: all current inventory 35% off the listed price!

Matt Haley: all current inventory 40% off the listed price!

Wow, some major league savings on a lot of really great art! And by "all current inventory," we mean ALL of it. Cover, pages, pin-ups, the whole works. If it is on the gallery, it's at those discounted levels. But that's not even the end of it. I've decided to add a small incentive, as any order placed for over $100.00 or more, will also get a special little something from me, as well. I don't want to spoil the surprise, but I'm sure those who do so will enjoy it (and this will even be extend to purchases of art by artists not involved in the sale, as well, because I'm just a nice kind of guy that way).

So, when does all this madness begin? Well the sale starts July 1st (at 12:01 a.m. PST) and will run through July 21st (until 11:59 p.m. PST). That's three whole weeks to get in on these massive savings! So, don't delay in getting your orders in. Go to our art gallery and check out all the great stuff that's available, then place your orders promptly (as I doubt the best stuff will be sticking around very long)! Let Sequential Treasures help you kick off the summer in grand style!

Also, for those interested, Randy Kintz's commission raffle, which I told you about last time, have ended and the winners chosen. The grand prize winner is Jerry Livengood (who is obviously doing that!)! Congratulations to him! I'll try to be sure to let you all see a picture of what he chose for his commission, as soon as one is available. To get the info on who all the various levels of winners were, you can read that right here.

Well, that's all for now, but there are still other things brewing in the background at S.T. HQ, which I can't tell you about now, but will later when the time is right. Until then, don't forget to get in on our awesome summertime sale! Peace out!

Matt Haley's left turn at Albuquerque!

Hello, my fellow art fans! It would seem that things have been quiet around the Sequential Treasures HQ for a while... a bit too quiet. Well, we're hoping to change all that, with some major news bits for you all today.

First off, if you are going to be in Albuquerque, New Mexico this weekend, then you'll surely want to stop by the Albuquerque Comic Expo. Why? Well, there are lots of reasons, but none better than our own Matt Haley will be in attendance there. He'll be talking about a project he's working on with, none other than the legend himself, Stan "The Man" Lee (who will also be at the show). Plus, he'll also be talking about his awesome Star Wars fan film, Blackstar Warrior, as well as doing sketches and the like. So, if you are in the area, stop by the show and spend a few minutes with Matt. You'll be glad you did. But this is just the beginning of our news.

Randy "Rantz" Kintz also has something special going on, as well. He's holding a special commission raffle contest. The price per ticket is $5 , with a max purchase of 15 tickets per person. Only one person can win a prize, to keep it fair for everyone involved. There are also incentive prizes, for people to purchase more than one or two tickets. You can get more info on this, as well as a list of the incentive prizes right here. But your time is limited to get in on this, so don't delay in getting your chance at some really cool art and stuff. Of course, if that fails, you can always pick up something from Randy's eBay listings, or something of his from our art gallery, which are just as cool.

I also want to bring your attention to something a good firend of mine alerted me to. There is a benefit to help a family in need who lost their dad/fiancé recently. This friend also has a piece of thier own artwork as part of the benefit. Sequential Treasures has always liked to help out in situations like this, whenever we can. So, head over to the website on this, to get all the details on how you can help and perhaps get some awesome art in the process.

It wouldn't be a news report, if I didn't update everyone on the scanner situation. Well, I still haven't replaced it yet, as sales have been beyond light. Despite this, however, the problem will be resolved shortly. To get this side of the program rolling again, I made a very large personal sacrifice to get the funds needed for a new scanner. So, it will not be long before we are running at full steam with art updates again. Of course, that won't be until after the last bit of news I have for you...

As summer is officially here, you all know that it's almost time for our huge summertime sales event, that we hold every year. I'm currently working out the details with our stable of artists, but will have a more defined outline of who'll be involved and how deep the discounts will be. So, make sure to stay tuned here in the coming days, as I'll be providing that information very soon. Probably be a good idea for you to start saving your pennines now, too.

Well, that's if for now. I'll be back before you know it with our big summer sale info, as well as some other news and info as it happens. Until then, peace out!

Are YOU ready for the Emerald City ComiCon?

Hey there, original art lovers! Well, with February pretty much a done deal, it means it's almost time for the Emerald City ComiCon in Seattle! As you know, I've been slowly teasing you all with Sequential Treasures plans for the show, but now, with crunch time upon us, I'm going to spill it all for you right here.

First off, we will be found at booth #1007 in the Exhibitors section of the show floor. You can look at their map of it, to see where we are. Put us pretty far away from artist alley, but whatcha gonna do? I hope you all will be willing to make the trek across the show floor to our booth though, as we have lots of cool stuff planned.

To begin, we'll have several of our artists on hand. Randy Kintz will be at our booth all three days, as will Ben Hansen (who'll be floating between our booth and the "Sketch Crew" tables in artist alley, which are table a-15 through 17). Last, but certainly not least, Matt Haley will be at the booth, but only on Saturday, as some work deadlines will only allow him to be at the show for one day. He, also, will be co-hosting the Blackstar Warrior panel on Saturday at 12:00 pm. You can see it on ECCC's programming schedule. They will all be doing sketches, plus Ben and Randy will have prints and sketchbooks with them, many of them new and debuting at this show.

And speaking of prints, there are two exclusive prints that you can only get from the Sequential Treasures booth. One is a War Machine piece by Ben Hansen. The other is a jam piece by Randy Kintz and Ben, featuring the Transformers, to honor the 25th anniversary of the original Transformers: The Movie (back from 1986). You can see images of both of these prints on our Facebook Group (they both are really awesome, if I do say so myself, and I don't expect them to last very long, as supplies will be limited).

There will, of course, be plenty of original art on hand to purchase from our various artists (not just the ones at the show, either). I'll be lugging over 400 pieces of original art for sale, including some pieces that have not been made available on our art gallery as of yet. Anyone at the show will be getting first crack at them. So, get their first and purchase fast, as I know the good stuff will disappear quickly, as it always does.

Lastly, lest you think we are only about ourselves, we have some really great things to show our giving side. First, is that we are taking donations for the HERO Initiative. As they do not have a booth set up at the show this year, Sequential Treasures has decided to "pick up the slack." It is a most worthy cause, to help older creators in their golden years (many of whom did not have a lot of the benefits and rights that creators today have). In addition, anyone making a donation of $10.00 or more will get a an original sketch card piece by Randy Kintz or Ben Hansen. They have graciously offered to help this noble charity, by doing so (but as with most things, supplies of the cards are limited). And, as if this weren't enough, we will also be giving away free comics to any kids who come by the booth (not to worry parents, they will be age appropriate stuff). But, again, this will only happen while supplies last.

Well, there you have it. The outline for our show time plans. Plus, who knows, maybe we'll even squeeze in another surprise or two. So, I trust I can count on all of you who are going to the show to stop by out booth? I thought so. How could you resist such awesomeness? Answer: you can't!

That's it for now. When next you hear from me, it'll probably be our post show report. So, until then, I'll see you at ECCC in Seattle! Peace out!

Hitting The Shelves: Batman and Robin #20 & Chip: Second Crack #3

Hey there, my faithful fiends. We're back again with more news and info for you Sequential Treasure watchers. This time out we've got a bit of stuff to cover. Starting with multiple new comics hitting the comic shops this week, from our bevy of talents.

First off, we have Chip: Second Crack #3 from Richard Moore and Antarctic Press. This is the concluding chapter to the mini-series. This time Chip, Ash and their new friend, the Jersey Devil, all find themselves the target of a hunter, who wants to add them all to his trophy collection. Will Chip and his crew outfox the hunter, or will they end up as a new talking piece over his fireplace. Whatever happens, you know it's probably going to be hilarious getting there. So, make sure you pick up your copy of this book, which Shawn of Cosmic Comix & Toys said is "Sweet, fun and funny."

Next up, is probably the biggest release we've ever seen around here. Batman and Robin #20, which boasts a sterling new creative team, features the inking power of our own Mick Gray, who is also the series new regular inker. You can check out a preview of the issue right here. This is currently one of DC's most popular titles and is sure to only continue to be so with this team. So, make sure to get in on the ground floor to what is sure to be a great run with some very talented creators at the helm. Just look for the cover shown here at your comic shop this Wednesday.

Finally, in our countdown to show time, I'll be giving you some more info on what you can expect to see for us at the Emerald City ComiCon next month in Seattle. Today, I'm going to tell you that your blogmaster won't be the only one in the booth. I'll be sharing it with Randy Kintz and Matt Haley! And who knows what cool things they'll be bringing with them for you all. On top of that, Ben Hansen will also be making appearances at the booth over the course of the show, as well. Benn has his own table in artist alley, but he'll be spending some time at the Sequential Treasures booth, too. So, there's going to be plenty of our talent on hand for signing and sketching. Make sure to stop by booth #1007 in the exhibitor's section of the show, because we are all certainly looking forward to seeing you.

Well, that's all for now, as I don't want to overload you with the awesomeness we have planned. But I'll be giving you more info on those plans as the time of the comicon gets closer, so make sure to keep checking back here regularly (provided you don't already do so). We have a lot of cool things we're setting up for you and you certainly don't want to be left out of the loop. Until next time, peace out!

Sequential Treasures "12 Days of Pre-Christmas" Sale!

Hey there, comic art fans! Well, I told I'd be back today with some big news to help brighten your holiday spirits. And seeing as how your blogmaster has never lied to you before, there seems little reason to start now.

As to what the big news is, it's simply that, in honor of the holiday season, Sequential Treasures and most of her artistic roster has decided to give all of you an early Christmas gift. We're holding a sale of 20% off all current inventory from the artists noted below:

So, all of their current inventory will 20% starting tomorrow (December 3rd) and will remain so running through until December 14th. It's 12 days of savings for you all to enjoy. And your blogmaster is going to sweeten the deal by also extending the 20% discount on the art by Steve McNiven and ChrisCross that we have in stock, as well. If this doesn't help you to have a Merry Christmas, I don't know what will. I certainly can't think of a better way to end this awesome year, nor a better way to thank all of you for helping to make this one for us.

So, if you've been holding back on placing an order, waiting for your chance at a sale, now is the time to strike! Because this isn't just our last sale for the year, but the last one we will have for quite some time. So, don't delay in placing an order. Get over to our art gallery and get your order in before the sale is over!

We all appreciate your support. I look forward to more of it as we prepare to get set for next year. Hopefully, we'll reach even higher heights than we did this year. I hope you'll be along for the journey. Until next time, peace out!

Hitting The Shelves: Brightest Day #15

Hello, my faithful ones. Well, the holiday rush has officially begun in earnest and the year is quickly coming to a close. But before you get too caught up in the hustle and bustle of the season, I wanted you to take note of some new comic work by one of Sequential Treasures own that is at all the finer comic shops.

This time, we have the latest issue to DC Comics big event tale, Brightest Day #15. Once again, our own Mick Gray graces the book for a few pages with his illustrious inks, over the pencils of the always awesome Patrick Gleason. He is, like before, working on the Martian Manhunter part of the story. The book is in shops right now! So, while you are out gift shopping for everyone else, get a little something for yourself and pick up a copy. And also make the holidays a bit brighter for Mick, too. The cover is shown above, so you know what to look for.

Also, here's a little something special for you all, from our resident Hollywood fiend Matt Haley. This is just a little something he produced and directed. If you are a fan of Superman, you probably should check this out. We can only hope the new Superman movie is half an entertaining as this. Just consider it an early Christmas gift from Matt to all of you.

That's all for now, but don't fret. I'm going to be back tomorrow with some big news. How big? Well, let me just say that if you aren't in the holiday spirit yet, this might just help get you there. So, until tomorrow, peace out!

Sequential Treasures to rule the Jet City ComiCon this Saturday!

Hello, once more, my art loving fiends! I'm back again to bring you more news on the goings-on at Sequential Treasures HQ, where we are always cooking up cool stuff for all of you. It's been a pretty quiet month this September, but that's only because we are catching out breath until the next big wave of excitement.

This Saturday is the 1st annual Jet City ComiCon in Seattle, WA. This new show is really starting thing off right, as they've asked several of Sequential Treasures own roster of talent to appear (which they were more than happy to do so). Ben Hansen, Randy Kintz and Matt Haley will all be in attendance at the event. Ben Hansen has even produce an exclusive limited edition print for the show, featuring Jet City's "Bomber Girl" mascot. Mean while Randy Kintz has a couple of new prints, featuring the ladies of DC Comics, as well as his new 2010 sketch books, which are being unveiled at the show.

Sequential Treasures talent at San Diego ComiCon!

Hello again, my art loving fiends. Well, with it being near the end of July, there's only one thing on most comic art lovers minds: San Diego ComiCon! Well, it's no different here, either. Unfortunately, your blogmaster will not be able to attend, but some of our stalwart artists will be there. So, here's the lowdown for you all, so you can be sure to see them in person.

First off, Matt Haley will be at Booth 2000 (otherwise know as the Bad Ass booth). He'll be there with "Bad Ass" writer, Ben Thompson. Matt will be attending all four days and will be doing a limited number of commissions at the show. Matt has assured me that the commissions taken at the show will be completed by the end of the show. So, make sure to get to that booth early to get on the short list for that.

Sadly, I have to report that Richard Moore, who was scheduled to be signing at the NBM Publishing booth (Booth 1528, for those who wish to know), will not be able to attend. He's unfortunately come down with a serious sinus infection and cannot make it. I'm sure you'll wish to extend your sympathies and hope for him to have a speedy recovery.

And lastly, today is also the final day of our massive "Summer Madness" sale. At 11:59 pm (PST) tonight, you will no longer be able to get the awesome discounts from our participating artists. So, don't waste these final hours and let these awesome savings pass you by. Miss out and it'll be some time before you have another shot. Just head over to our art gallery and place that order now!

For those of you who aren't, well, you'll be in good company with yours truly and who knows, I may be back soon with a new update of art for sale for you, as I'm expecting some stuff in from some of our artists any day now. So, missing the show won't be all bad for you. Until next time, peace out!

A "super" update of art for sale from Matt Haley!

Hey everyone! Well, as the month of May comes quickly to a close, that means that summer is just around the corner. That leaves little time left for "spring cleaning," but we are squeezing in a small art update from Matt Haley's recent jaunt in doing so.

This time out we have some published pin up pieces, which were used in an Entertainment Weekly story, back sometime in 1997. These are all based on some of the "movers and shakers" in Hollywood. See if you can figure out who they are.

On top of that, we have over a dozen pieces relating to the DC Comics Superman Returns: Official Movie Adaption comic. Most of the pages are published one (although a couple are not) and we even have a couple of character model sheets based on the Clark Kent and Lex Luthor characters in the film (the former of which you can see right here). All of it is priced to move fast! So, if you see something you like, be sure not to waste time and get your order in ASAP! Just head on over to our art gallery and place your order.

That's all for now. I'm sure I'll be back soon with more news and other tidbits for you to see. Until then, peace out!

New art from Randy Kintz and Matt Haley for sale!

Hey there, my art loving adherents! Things continue to chug right along here at Sequential Treasures HQ, as we move through the spring of 2010! As flowers and tree being to bloom and bring a new sense of life, it seems only right that we continue that trend and bring you some new art for sale. This time we got the double whammy of Matt Haley and Randy Kintz for all of you!

As Matt continues his "spring cleaning" efforts, we have almost 20 new pages of art for sale, featuring a few pages from issue 8 of the Dark Horse series titled simply "X". This was from a story guest-starring Ghost. See if you can find her in the pages up for grabs. On top of that, we have 15 pages from JSA Classified #26, featuring the scrapper of that super-team, Wildcat! These are priced extremely reasonably, as they are meant to move out quickly.

Then, from Randy Kintz, we have a handful of very cool (and sexy) pin-ups. In this batch we have the likes of Venom, Storm, the Gotham City Sirens (shown here), the female version of Loki and a tribute piece of Witchie Boo (a creation of Randy's artistic brother, Pat Carlucci, who passed away very recently). So, head on over to the gallery and check out the new stuff (and maybe make a purchase with that big, fat tax refund you just got).

Lastly, I wanted to just drop a note of thanks to the couple of you who bought a piece of art from my personal collection. It was greatly appreciated, as it certainly helped get me through my little money crunch much easier. Of course, most of those pieces are still for sale, so if you've been holding off, you still have time to snatch them up for yourself.

That's all for now, folks. I'll be back soon with more news and, hopefully, an art update by Richard Moore (that is, if our new scheduling system continues to work like it should). Until then, peace out!

Matt Haley at Norwescon this weekend!

And the Sequential Treasures train just keeps chugging along, with more news an info to bring all of you comic art lovers out there.

Today I get to inform you that Sequential Treasures resident superstar, Matt Haley, will be at Norwescon 33 this weekend. This is the Pacific Northwest's premiere sci-fi and fantasy convention. It is being held at the DoubleTree Hotel Seattle Airport, in SeaTac, WA. Matt will be there doing sketches and the like from 2pm to 6 pm on Saturday and 10 am to 2 pm on Sunday. If you are in the neighborhood, make sure to stop by and check in with him. To get the full guest list and other info on the show, just head over to their website.

And also, don't forget all the new art for sale from Matt, that we just put up at our art gallery. Plus, he still has a couple of commission slots still open right now, but that can change very quickly, so if you'd like one from him, get your order in now. You can see his rates right here. So, even if you can't make the show, you can still get some Matt Haley artistic goodness for yourself.

Well, that's it for now. It sure has been busy around these parts the last couple of weeks, but that's how we like it. I'll be back soon, with a report on the Comic Evolution event I'll be at on Saturday, as well as new art updates (I hope). Until next time, peace out!

New art from Matt Haley now for sale!

Hey there, my art loving compatriots. It's been a busy time for us here at Sequential Treasures for the past month or so, with things not looking to slow up any time soon. Today, I've got a great new update of art fro sale from our own Matt Haley. Seems Matt unearthed this stuff from doing a bit of "spring cleaning." So, let us get on with the show, right?

There's a lot of great stuff here, including some card art prelims from the old DC Overpower card game and some page to a previously unpublished Legion of Super-Heroes story. On the published side, we have several pages from a few one-shot specials Matt's worked on over the years, including Power Company: Witchfire, Heroes Reborn: Rebel and Tangent Comics: Joker. Lastly, we have a couple pages from the Marvel mini-seres titled The Order (one of which is shown here). All of it is priced to move, so head on over to our art gallery and get in on the bargains, before they are all gone!

Finally, just wanted to mention that today is also artist Ben Hansen's birthday. So, if you have a minute, please head over to our Facebook Forum group (listed in our link sidebar) and post a birthday wish to him on the thread there. I'm sure he'll greatly appreciate it.

That's all for now. But don't fret, as I'll be back very soon, with more info on some upcoming appearances by our artists and myself. Things are just rolling on around here, so sit back and enjoy the ride. Until next time, peace out!

A Web of Excitement: The Emerald City ComiCon Report

Okay, everyone, after much ballyhoo and promises, here's the post-ECCC report I know you've been waiting for.

This show has grown very much over the last several years since it began. One of the things I've noticed is the large increase of traffic at the show. Over the course of the two days this year, an attendance record was broken, with almost 15,000 people coming to the show this year. That might sound impressive, but when you factor in that a couple of pop cultures "royalty" were among the guests, it isn't quite as surprising. I also liked have several of our artists at the show. Randy Kintz, Ben Hansen and Matt Haley were all there. We all would have liked more time to hang out, but the constant flow of humanity made that all but impossible.

Speaking of creators, one of the high points of the show for me, was finally getting to meet Stan "the Man" Lee. If ever their was a creator who could be called a "living legend," Stan Lee would have to be it. I got my copy of Ravage 2099 #1 signed by him and even got to shake his hand. On top of that, Stan punk'd me and played a little joke on me, while I got my signature. I hope my mind and wit are as fast as his, when I'm nearing 90 years of age. I'd have liked to have gotten a photo with him, but with an autograph cost $40.00 and the photo just as much, I simply didn't have the funds. Still, I met him and that's all that really matters to me.

Talked to some other fine creators, too. Including Tone Rodriguez, who could hardly keep awake while doing a sketch for me. Then, I spent a few minutes talking with Aaron Lopresti. I've seen Aaron at several shows in my region, so he knows me. In fact, he's married to a women my wife went to high school with. Small world, it seems. The best original piece I pick up was a sketch of Iron Man by Tim Sale, at a post show event by the Hero Initiative. I was amazed at just how much detail he put into his style, to make it look so simplistic. Just incredible.

Plenty of folks were dressed up in costumes, as well. I saw a couple Catwoman ones, a nice Supergirl, a Joker and probably the best Poison Ivy costume I'd ever seen. However, I ended up snapping this pic of a kid dressed as that wall-crawling icon, Spider-Man, which you can see above.

If there was any downside to the show, it would have to be, and I know this sounds like a broken record, a lack of sales. To call them "slow," would to call the Grand Canyon a "pothole." In fact, this point greatly bothered me on Saturday. So much so, I almost considered packing up and going home. Others, fortunately, dissuaded me of that. And funniest of all, was the words of advice I got from artist Joe Dodd, who had the table next to mine. He said that Seattle isn't a big original art town and that other ones, like in Florida and New York, are more known for attracting the art buying crowds. Well, I wish I'd have known that sooner, but it's a live and learn world, I suppose.

Naturally, the post-show hanging out is always the best part of any convention. I've sort of established myself a small crew, whom I always hang out with when the day of a show is done. Taking in some of the nightlife of the city and some of the... eccentric personalities one will see around town, always makes for some fun times. This show was no different. And it had the added benefit of us brew up some ideas for the future of Sequential Treasures. You'll just have to stay tuned as see how these develop over the year.

So, overall a good experience was had and some good times, too. Next up, is a Free Comic Book Day event in Ellensburg and then the Spokane Comicon, both in May. I hope some of you will be at these events. I'd love to meet you in person.

That's all for now. I'll be back soon, with more news on our artists projects and more art updates. Until then, peace out!

New Matt Haley art available to purchase!

Hey there, again, my art loving fans! As I attempt to try to get caught up on things, I've just added a nice little update of original art to our gallery from Sequential Treasures newest resident, Matt Haley!

All of it is previously unpublished works. We have some unpublished covers featuring Green Lantern (shown here) and the Pantheon, a very sexy unpublished Vampirella page, and several choice unpublished pin ups, with a few in color, featuring Ghost, Spider-Woman, the X-Men and more. As if all that wasn't enough, I even have the design art for the Batgirl vs. Catwoman statue (which was posted here before the ECCC show) that comes with one of the limited edition statues it is based from. So, something for every taste possible, I would say. Please, stop by our art gallery and give them a looksee. But place those orders with haste, as I suspect much of this stuff will not be we us for long.

That's all for now. I will try to have our post-con report for you tomorrow. Until then, peace out!

Hitting The Shelves: Chip #1

Hey there, hi there, folks! You know, while there is a lot of great benefits to doing comic shows, the one MAJOR drawback is that you have to play catch-up for several days after it. Seems that's the case for me, as not only do I have the con report I promised and new art to scan and list, but it looks like a new comic series also came out this week from one of Sequential Treasures bevy of talented minds.

This time out, it's Richard Moore's latest effort, Chip #1 (of 2) from Antarctic Press. This mini-series follows the adventures of a very small and cute gargoyle, who wants to be just as good at being scary as his larger brethren. So, with the help of some new friends, he's off to make his dream a reality.

As any of you who've read the work of Richard Moore already know, he has the gift of taking something so imaginatively unreal, like this concept, and injecting plenty of humor and humanity into it. Chip looks to be no different. So if you are a fan of his work, or you simply love great all-ages works, make sure to pick up a copy at your local comic shop (the cover of which is shown here).

That will be all for now. I hope to have the post-con report for you all within the next couple of days, as well as an update of art from Matt Haley. Also, I expect some new stuff from Richard shortly, if our new scheduling system actually works like we planned. So, more good things are on the way here shortly. And I'll be here to tell you all about it. Until then, peace out!

The Emerald City countdown wides to a close!

Hey everyone! Well, the Emerald City ComiCon is now just over a day away. And since I will be going to Seattle to set up tomorrow, today is the last post you'll be seeing from me until after the show. So, here's one last rundown on where to find Sequential Treasures and our artists, who are at the show:

Sequential Treasures and Randy Kintz: table A-04 in artist alley

Ben Hansen and the Sketch Crew: tables A-18 thru 20 in artist alley

Matt Haley: table J-13 in artist alley

We are all looking forward to seeing many of your there, so be sure to stop by and say hello.

Finally, just for fun, I'm also posting the image to the Batgirl vs. Catwoman statue design art by Matt Haley, which he will have for sale, along with an autographed and numbered copy of the finished statue, at his table. I hope you all enjoy.

That's all for now. I'll be sure to do a report post on the show, after I get back. Plus, I'm sure I'll have more art to update by then, too. So, more good things are coming your way. Until then, peace out and I'll see you at the show!
