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!

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!
