Randy Kintz at the Portland Comic Book Show on Sunday!

Hey there, comic art enthusiasts! As the year is coming to a close, there's still lots of things happening around the old Sequential Treasures homestead. So, let me dish on what is going down.

First off, Happy Veterans Day to everyone! Sequential Treasures would like to throw out a salute to all the men and women who fight and sacrifice, so we can enjoy the freedom to do as we do. Our own Randy Kintz is a veteran, so it is even more important to us to take a moment as thank all of those who serve to protect our way of life. You can join us in doing so at our Facebook page, where we've set up a nice little way for you to express your thanks to Randy and all veterans. I hope you will do so.

Next, this Sunday is the Portland Comic Book Show in Portland, OR. It's not only the state's longest running comic convention, but a mainstay on Randy's own schedule. He'll be hanging out in Artist Alley, with some original art and sketchbooks on hand, as well as doing sketches for the fans. On top of that is his usually array of incredible prints, including a new Black Cat piece that is getting debuted at this show (you can see it on our Facebook page, too). But, take note, some of his classic prints will be getting retired after this show. So, if you are in the area this Sunday make sure to stop by the show and see Randy. It is his last show appearance for 2011. You can get directions and more info on who'll be at the show, at their website. Also, if you are very observant, you might even see a certain blogmaster roaming around the show as an attendee.

Of course, if you can't make the show, you can still get yourself some art by Randy from our art gallery (as well as some art from all of our other fine talents). We live to serve here at Sequential Treasures H.Q.

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

West Coast Wanderings: More appearances by our talent!

Hello again, everyone! I hope you all had a fun-filled Free Comic Book Day event where you were. Those of us at Sequential Treasures certainly did. In fact, you can see some photos of the happenings at our new Facebook page. If you have a moment, stop by and check them out. Needless to say, we are looking forward to next year's event.

But you don't have to wait that long to see our talent in person. This weekend will have several of our awesome artists making show appearances along the west coast. So, make sure to take note of the info your blogmaster is about to impart to you.

To begin, Mick Gray will be attending the Big Wow! Comicfest (formerly known as the San Jose Super-Con). He'll be on hand, not only doing the usual signing and sketching he's known for, but he'll actually be doing a workshop tutorial called "Inking Comics... Not Just Tracing," where you can see first hand just what is involved in the daily work routine of a comic book inker. This is a first for Mick and should be of interest to all you original art lovers out there. The show is this weekend (May 21-22) and you can get the location and other show info at their website.

Then we come to the Spokane ComiCon, which is also this Saturday (May 21). Both Randy Kintz and Ben Hansen will be among the many guests at this show. They will be doing sketches and have lots of original art on hand. On top of that is their large array of find prints. In fact, Ben Hansen has two new print which will be exclusive at this show (one of which you can see above). Even you humble blogmaster will be there, although as a fan, not in an official capacity. Just look for the guy walking around the show with an art portfolio under his arm and that's likely to be me. You can get more info on this show at their website.

Lastly, an update on the continuing scanner issue. As of now, there seems to be no end to it in sight. With sales having all the robust feeling of a ghost town, I don't know when this situation will alleviate itself. Of course, you can always try to help change that, by heading over to our art gallery and placing an order for some of the great original art that is up for sale there. You support, as always, is greatly appreciated. I really do want to get back to new art updates soon, so please do all you can to help.

Well, that's all for now. Hopefully, I'll be back soon with more news and info for you all regarding our vastly talented artistic stable. So, until then, peace out!

Free Comic Book Day 2011 with Sequential Treasures!

Hey, folks! Well, I promised you a rundown on what our plans were for Free Comic Book Day this Saturday. Are you getting jazzed for it? We certainly are here, since it also the event's 10th anniversary, as well.

Sequential Treasures will be at Central City Comics in Ellensburg, WA for the event. I'll have all the originals from our bevy of talents with me, as well as some sketchbooks by Richard Moore, as well as our exclusive prints that we had available at Emerald City ComiCon a couple months back. And, just because I'm so nice and want to get into the full spirit of the day, the store isn't the only one who'll be giving out free comics. I'll be handing out some free comics for kids who show up, as well. But that's not the end of the festivities.

Randy Kintz will also be there with me. He'll be doing sketches and the like, plus he'll have his large array of prints, including his new ones that just debuted at Boston Con last weekend. And the store's owner has some of his own plans, which includes other artist guests (in this case, Jason "Eternal Descent" Metcalf and Jason "Super Real" Martin), discount of selected products, and a raffle for some cool prizes (which you can get tickets for with every can of food you donate to their food drive). On top of all that, he'll also be opening the shop an hour earlier than normal, to give folks more time to get in on the fun. You can get the shop's location information at their Facebook page. We look forward to a good time to be had by all!

But this isn't the only places where you can see some of Sequential Treasures talent. Ben Hansen will be at Docking Bay 93 in Mount Vernon, WA and inker Mick Gray will be at Flying Colors Comics in Concord, CA! So, you have multiple opportunities to see our talent up close. But no matter where you are, I hope you all will have a good FCBD event, wherever you might be. Enjoy the day! {Update: 5/6/11: Just learned that artist Jason Craig will be at a shop call Outer Limit Comics in Murfreesboro, TN}

That's all for now. Time for me to get thing ready for the big event. I hope to see some of you there. For the rest of you, 'll probably just have to wait to read my post-event report. Until next time, peace out!

Emerald City ComiCon: Post Show Report

Hey there, my artistic fiends! Well, ECCC 2011 is now in the books and history. It was a great time by all account and that includes us at Sequential Treasures. After having a couple of days to decompress from things, it's now time to give you our usual post con report.

This year was a bit different for me, as I didn't get out and about at the show like I normally do. I manned the booth most of the show (like shown in the picture here). This enabled me to see a lot of attendees, a few of whom I already knew. Many of whom, though, I did not. I did notice just how many great costumes there were this year. So, I complied a small catalog of the better one and posted those pics on our Facebook Group. If you are on Facebook, you should check these out (as well as my acerbic attempts at humor on them). Some of these folks really went all out on this.

It was good having Randy Kintz in our booth, as it made the booth feel more of a place to be (which is something I was concerned with, since our booth was on the opposite side of where artist alley was). He sold quite a few prints and did some sketches. A Wonder Woman, Lady Death, Batgirl, and Black Cat were all among the ones he did. But I think my favorite one, was a fun head shot he did of the Joker as a Green Lantern. It was certainly one of the more inventive ones I saw him do.

Speaking of prints, our Transformers jam one did very well and was quite popular with folks. Even ones who stopped by the booth and didn't pick up one, still had nothing but positive comments about it (although, maybe my blasting the Transformers: The Movie soundtrack helped in that, too). I'm certain we'll do another one for next year. I just need to pick the subject matter. Only sold a few pieces of original art, though, but hopefully, with this show growing every year, some of those big spenders will start coming to this one.

While I was at the booth most of the show, I did get out a little each day to get some comics signed and get a few sketches. I noticed that most artists prices are really getting high nowadays. So, I guess if anyone wondered if the recession is over, now you know. Being limited in my funds I didn't get nearly as many sketches as I have in past shows, but I managed to get a few nice pieces by names like Todd Nauck, Erik Larsen, Andy Kuhn and a few others. But if I have to pick my favorite of the show, it's either my Green Lantern by Francisco Herrera or the Spider-Girl by Mike McKone. Both of those were very awesome. But you be the judge and check them out yourself.

I didn't get to any of the panels, or do much comic shopping (although, I did get a decent grade Incredible Hulk #120 from 1969 for only a few bucks). I guess that's just something I'll have to start planning on for next year, because we will be back next year. I've pre-paid for an artist alley table and will have both Randy Kintz and Ben Hansen there with me again (and perhaps even on either side of my table, if things work out right). So, if you didn't get to the show this year, or if you did and just forgot to stop by, you'll have another shot next year.

Our next appearance event will be for Free Comic Book Day in Ellensburg, WA (in which I'll again have Randy Kintz in tow with me). We had a good time at Central City Comics last year and they wanted us back again this year. So, if you'll be in the area on that day, make sure to stop in an join in on the fun!

That's all for now, folks. I'll be back soon with more info on things and maybe even an art update or two. 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!

New Richard Moore art availabe to buy!

Hey there, my art loving followers! Were back with some more news and updates for you, as you like it. So, let's get things rolling...

First, we have just added all 16 pages to Far West: Bad Mojo #1 by Richard Moore and Antarctic Press. Richard's elven bounty hunter is one of his more enduring creations and this now means we have the complete set of page to both issue of her latest mini-series, available to purchase right away! Pictured above is just one of them. So, go to the art gallery and check them all out. But don't delay in placing your orders, as this stuff will be going to the Emerald City ComiCon with us and there's no guarantee that it will all be here after we get back. Place those orders ASAP!

And speaking of the upcoming show, it's time for me to give you all another little taste of what we have planned for it. Well, we're doing something we've never done before at any show and are going to have exclusive prints for sale. These are prints that you won't find anywhere else and can only be bought from Sequential Treasures directly. You can see one of the planned prints posted up at our Facebook Group right now, featuring the artistic styling of Ben Hansen. On top of that, we'll have original art for sale, which has not yet been posted to the art gallery. So, your first chance to view them (and purchase them) will be at the show. If these don't make it worth your while to stop by our booth (#1007 in the exhibitors section, in case you didn't know), then nothing will!

Well, that's it for now. We've still got a lot of last minute details to work out before the time of the show, but we'll be here to give you more news an info as we always do. The countdown to ECCC in upon us and I hope to see you there! Until next time, peace out!

Randy Kintz quickie art update!

Hey there, folks! Well, your blogmaster is back again, to give you more scoops and info on everything Sequential Treasures related.

First off, we have a small art update from our own Randy "Rantz" Kintz. We've just added three great new pin up pieces from him to our art gallery. We've got one of Angela of Spawn fame (shown here in the image provided), one of the pieces used in Randy's angel card set from sadlittle.com last year, and last (but certainly not least), there's the pin up which is going to be the exclusive new print Randy has done for the Emerald City ComiCon next month in Seattle! All of these are great, so head on over and give them a gander (and maybe buy one, while you are there, if you feel the desire).

And speaking of the show, here's another little tidbit of info for what we have planned for you. While Randy has an exclusive new print for the show, he's not the only one who will. There will be two great exclusive prints offered directly by Sequential Treasures. I won't say of what (although, I will post the images on our Facebook group, which is linked in the sidebar, closer to show time), but I will tell you who by: Randy Kintz and Ben Hansen! And these will be true exclusives, as you won't be able to get these prints from Randy or Ben at any shows which we are not at. So, you better make sure to hit our booth at the show (#1007, in case you didn't know) and grab up these beauties, as you won't have endless opportunities to do so.

Well, that's all for now. More info and updates are sure to be coming your way soon. So, until next time, peace out!

Last minute Holiday surprises!

Hey folks! Well, Christmas time is almost here. So, as your thoughts turn to merriment and all things filled with cheer, Sequential Treasures has a couple of things your should know, before your festivities get into full swing.

First off, Ben Hansen will be making his final appearance of the year this Saturday, at the Bellingham, WA comic shop call Docking Bay 93. He'll be on hand for the "Toy-apalooza" event, which is collecting gifts for TOYS4TOTS. For every toy you buy for the cause you save 25% and you will get a free sketch from Ben. He will also have his prints, Battle Amongst the Stars#3 and more on hand for sale. Ben will also be donating 50% of the profits from the sales on that stuff to the TOYS4TOTS, as well. So, if you'll be in the area this Saturday, make sure to stop by the shop and help out a very worthy cause (and maybe get a little artistic gift for yourself in the process).

Lastly, and this is a biggie, Sequential Treasures will be on hiatus starting Saturday and will not be up again for business until after the first of the year. Your old blogmaster is taking a couple weeks off to see some family and friends for the holidays. Besides which, I'm long overdue for a break and some R & R. I hope all of you will have a very safe and joyous holiday and hope you'll be as raring to go after the start of 2011 as I hope to be. Thanks for a great year, folks, but let us make next year even better!

That's all for now. I'll be talking with you all next year! Until then, peace out!

See our talent from coast-to-coast this weekend!

Hello, once more, my faithful ones! I'm back to give you the scoop on some appearances from some of our incredibly talented artists. As we speed into the holidays and towards the the end of 2010, we are also coming to the conclusion of the comic convention season. So, take note of what will be the final appearance from our talent for the year.

First off, on the west coast, we have Randy Kintz, who will be at the Portland Comic Book Show, set for this Sunday (Nov. 21st). This is the longest running show in the Portland, OR area and Randy is one of the mainstays of it. He'll be doing sketches and have his usual array of prints and sketchbooks. But he'll also be debuting a new print he's recently done of Deadpool! So, if you are in the area, make sure to stop by and pick up one of those. You can get more info at the show's website.

Next, on the east coast, our own Jason Craig will be at the Virginia Comicon this weekend (Nov. 20-21), as well. This man, who's rubs elbows with Hollywood big shot and has more than a few stories to tell from it, will also be doing sketches and have some prints available. Just check out the convention's website for more details on the others guests and attractions to be found.

And remember, these are the last appearances these guys will be making this year. So, don't miss out on your chance to talk with them and pick up some really cool art. If you miss out, you'll have to wait until 2011 to see them again.

That's all for now. But I'll be back with more news and info before you know it. 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!

See Randy Kintz and Wizard World New England this weekend!

Hello, once again, my faithful minions! The hectic pace of October continues here at Sequential Treasures, as I tell you of an upcoming appearance by one of our own.

This weekend, October 15-17, is Wizard World New England in Boston, MA. It is one of the last big shows of the 2010 convention season. As with all Wizard World shows, this one is jam packed with guests galore. one of them is our own Randy Kintz, who will be attending. He will have his usual array of prints and his new 2010 sketchbooks with him, as well as be doing sketches for those lucky enough to request them. The event will be held at the JOHN B. HYNES VETERANS MEMORIAL CONVENTION CENTER. To get more info on the other guests and events there, as well as ticket information, just head over to the show's website.

Of course, if you can't get to the show, you can still get some great Randy Kintz art from us, as we are about halfway through Randy's massive 50% off sale on all his current inventory. Pages, cover, pin ups, it's all 50% off! So, head over to our art gallery and check out all of his great art that's still available at this incredible discount. Then, place those orders before all the best stuff is gone!

That's it for now. I'm expecting some new art to update over the next week, so be watching for that. As for which artist(s) to expect it from, I think I'll keep it a secret for now. 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!

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. And, of course, all of them will be doing sketch for the masses. You can see pictures of the new prints and other exclusive items at our Facebook Forum, while you can get the full lowdown on the show (and the other guests to be there) at their website. Your semi-humble blogmaster will also be there, but not in an official capacity, just as a fan. But if you happen to catch me drifting about, make sure to say hello.

That's it for now. I have lots of cool stuff I'm getting ready to start shooting down the pipeline to you, so be ready for more major happenings and info soon. Until then, peace out!

The "heavenly" art of Randy Kintz!

Hey, my loyal art minions! As the unofficial end of summer quickly approaches, we here at Sequential Treasures want to end the season right, as we cap off what has been a crazy time for all of us here.

I said yesterday that I was going to hit you with some special news today, well, here it is:

First, Randy Kintz original card set, titled "Rantz Angels," is now available for sale. Featuring a 50 card base set, plus one original sketch card, you'll see the artistic prowess of artists like Jason Martin, Joe Pekar, (the late) Pat Carlucci, Jason Metcalf, Randy Kintz, and a host of others, as they provide you a true masterwork of "heavenly bodies" to behold. But the sets are limited to only 1,000 copies, so get your order in fast, before they disappear as quickly as any other angelic vision. You can place your orders for them at the Sadlittles.com website.

Secondly, this Friday, you'll have the chance to see Randy in person, as he does a local in-store signing & sketch event at Ron's Coin & Collectibles in Yakima, WA. He'll have comics and prints for signing (including a new color edition of his popular JLA print), as well as be doing sketches. Sequential Treasures will be there, as well, with tons of great comic art for sale. There will be free refreshments for those who attend and maybe even a few surprises, too. The event runs from 5 pm to 7 pm and we hope to see lots of folks turn out. It's sure to be a fun time.

Well, that's all for now. I hope to have some new art updates for you soon, as well as more news on our artists. 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!

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!

"Scare" up a good time in Seattle this weekend!

Hey there, my faithful ones! Time once again to give you some info on an upcoming event, involving some of the talent in Sequential Treasures stables.

This weekend, in Seattle, is the pacific northwest's biggest horror convention known as CryptiCon! If you are a fan of horror film and the like, then you will find lots to enjoy there. But for those of you wondering why I bring this up, both Ben Hansen and Randy Kintz will be in attendance there. Each of them, also, has an exclusive new print they will be selling, which was specifically made just for this show. I hope to have some images of them for you, which I'll post up within the next couple of days. I, myself, might be there of Saturday, but only as a guest. So, if you are going to be in the area this weekend, I hope you'll stop by and give your regards to us.

That's all for now. But I'm working behind-the-scenes on some things... some BIG things... which will be very exciting for all of you. I know this, because I'm already excited by the prospect of them myself (Oooo, being "cryptic" in a post about CryptiCon, heh!), so keep watching here for the details as they unfold. Until then, peace out!

The Spokane ComiCon aftermath report!

Hey everyone! Well, I'm back from the Spokane ComiCon this past Saturday. I don't know if any of you were there, but if so I hope you enjoyed yourselves.

The attendance for this year's show was the best on record in the event's four year history. There were plenty of great comics around, both from dealers and creators who happened to be on hand. Our own Randy Kintz and Ben Hansen were there, slinging prints and sketches (I even picked one of the latter up from Randy myself).

Lots of people came dressed up in costumes for the contest they were holding. I don't think I'd see that many people made up since Halloween. I managed to get a couple of snapshots of some of my favorites, along with a couple other con pics, which you can see posted at our Facebook forum.

I handed out some business cards and had some nice chats with folks about comics, art, and just stuff in general. If there was any downer, it was, as always seems the case, a lack of sales. In fact, not one thing sold at my table. Don't let that photo of me above fool you, because while lots of people looked at stuff, no one ever went for their wallets. I'm really at a loss for what else I can do. People don't even want to haggle over the prices. I can't do much, if folks don't even want to talk.

Overall, I'd say I had a good time, although most of that was due to my after show activities, which includes, but isn't limited to, being mistaken for being a member of the band The Bare Naked Ladies (you'll have to talk to me in person, if you want the details on that one).

I don't know if I'll be going to the show next year, given how I've crapped out at making sales for the last two years running. In fact, I'm not sure if I'll do any more shows at all, given the apathetic response I've gotten from the OA fanbase and larger comic community as a whole. Doing shows are not free or cheap for any of us who work them, so when you folks don't spend, you take away a lot of reason for us to go. Just something you all might want to think on.

Well, that's all for now. I hope to have some new art updates for you soon. Until then, peace out!

See Sequential Treasures in Spokane this Saturday!

Hey everyone! Sorry for the delay in posting up more info here, but your humble blogmaster has been dealing with a couple of real personal headaches. First is jury "doodie," which is thankfully done now. Unfortunately, that is due to headache #2, which was having my home broken into and robbed (no worries, no one was injured, as they broke in while no one was home). So, things have been... hectic... the last few days.

Anyway, this Saturday is the Spokane Comicon and Sequential Treasures will be there in force! Not only will I be there, with all the original art we have available in tow, but so will our own Randy Kintz and Ben Hansen! In fact, of the two, Ben also have a new exclusive print he's done for the show, featuring Black Widow vs. Hit Girl, as the ladies from the two biggest superhero films of the year (so far) are poised to throwdown (you can see the full colored piece right here). Inks on this are provided by Levi Skeen (who will also be at the show). But don't wait to long to get one, as the supply is limited to a mere 25 copies of this awesome print! Both of them will also be doing sketches, for a modest fee, as well.

I hope to see some of you there, so make sure to come on down to the show, if you are in the area! I, as well as Randy and Ben, will be glad to meet and greet with you (as well as relieve you of some of the burden of a heavy wallet (heh-heh).

That's all for now, I'll be back soon with a con report and hopefully some new art from our artistic trove of talent. Until then, peace out!
