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!

See Mick Gray in San Jose... this Saturday!

Hey, everyone! You blogmaster is back to give you the scoop on some happenings at Sequential Treasures H.Q., because you know we just keep things rolling around here.

First off, we have another appearance by one of out illustrious creators. This Saturday, Mick Gray will be at the San Jose Comics Festival. It a small event that is held in the area a few times a year. This one is the last one they will be holding this year. It also will be Mick's last appearance for the year, too. He'll' be there all day doing sketches, selling some of his originals, and talking comics (including some details on some upcoming projects that I'll be mentioning here shortly). You can get more info on this show at their website.

Then, we have the news of some art donated by our own Randy Kintz to help benefit the Inkwell Awards. This award is to help recognize the contributions and skills of comic inkers, who often get overlooked. Randy has donated a sketch cover piece, featuring the merc-with-a-mouth, Deadpool. It's on a sketch cover edition to the Marvels Project #1 and is being auctioned on eBay right now. Make sure to place a bid and help out a very worthy cause.

Well, that's all for now. But I'll be back soon, as I'm expecting some new art to show up any day now, which will be one of the last (if not THE last) art updates from us for the rest of the year, so you surely don't want to miss that. Until then, peace out!
