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!

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:

Mick Gray

Matt Haley

Ben Hansen

Randy Kintz

Richard Moore

All of them have graciously said they want to give you all a little something special to make your holiday a happy one. 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!

So, did I not tell you this was going to be some really good news? Let's end the year on a high note for us all. And thank you to everyone who's helped make 2010 so great. 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!

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!

When the going gets tough....

Hey, Sequential Treasures fiends! I'm back, but not to talk about any new projects of appearances by ST or her artists. No, today I have something else to talk about.

You know I've made no secret of the fact that while I love hitting the con circuit and meeting some of you out there, that the expenses of doing so never seem to be off-set by the in-take from such ventures. Well, as a result, it seems I'm in a bit of a "cash crunch" here. Now, normally, I'd not want to burden you with such things, but this is something that could have a drastic effect on my ability to keep Sequential Treasures running at full-throttle, as I have been trying to do.

As always, it is sales that are necessary to change things. However, since it isn't fair of me to heap this onto our very awesome artistic stable of talent, I can't ask them to put up their art to help close this gap. So, I'm biting the bullet and offering up to you, our loyal minions, a few choice pieces from my own personal collection. Tough times calls for tough measures, or so they say. So, please, check out what I've put up for sale to you all. We have original pages, from names like John Buscema, Herb Trimpe (shown here), Dick Dillin, Don Heck, and Dave Cockrum, as well as a few sexy pin up pieces featuring the White Queen, the Black Queen and Ms. Marvel. So, as you can see, there is some really nice stuff up for grabs. If you see something you like, shoot me an offer. I think you'll find I'm pretty fair-minded on such things. Or, of course, you can just place an order for some of the great art our artists currently have available at our art gallery.

Well, that's all for now. I want to send an advanced note of thanks to any of you who will help me out in this difficult time. I hope to be back soon with more news and info of a much more positive nature. Until then, peace out!

Please help an artist in need!

Hey everyone! I know I promised you a report on the Emerald City ComiCon and it is coming. But before I do that, there's something else you need to know about which is of much greater importance.

Artist Pat Carlucci, whom some of you may know either by name or artistic reputation, is very sick right now. He's battling the disease of lymphoma and things don't seem too good right now. Some of Sequential Treasures artists are good friends with Pat and are doing what they can to raise money for the medical costs of his valiant struggle to beat the illness.

So, please, check out the eBay auctions that are currently up from 5Finity Productions. They feature original pin-ups and sketch cards by not only Pat, but from several other artists, including our own Ben Hansen and Randy Kintz (one of Randy's donations is shown here). We at Sequential Treasures would as you to please help, by bidding on these items. If you've ever had a good friend or loved one who has been stuck by a disease like this, you know how Pat's friends and family feel at this moment. Do whatever you can to help make the outcome of his battle one we all can celebrate.

We at Sequential Treasures thank you for your support and compassion in this matter.

Sincerely,

James Meeley

Hitting The Shelves: Drone #3

Hello, my art loving minions. I have to tell you, I can't remember what Sequential Treasures has been so jam-packed with news and updates, as we have been this week. Inevitably, with a week as big as this one is, something is bound to slip through the cracks, which is exactly what has happened here.

With all that's been going on and coming up, I totally spaced it and fail to mention that Drone #3, from Red5 Comics and featuring the peerless talents of Randy "Rantz" Kintz, hit all the finer comic shops this Wednesday. I wish I could say that was all beyond my control, but I've never been on to lie (although, this might have been easier for me, if Diamond Comics website didn't seem to keep going down as often as a $10.00 hooker at the Democratic National Convention). So, let me try to make amends right now and tell you all to go out and pick up a copy.

This mini-series has been making the rounds with online critics. Here's a couple of recent reviews right here:

"Industry relative newbie artist Randy Kintz (Legend of the Isis) does a well
above-average freshman job of framing the story of Drone. His style is
very angular and straight-lined, but that adds to pulp-like heroics that the
plot revolves around." - Eric from The Pullbox.com

"If you haven’t been reading this series go back and pick up the first two as it's worth
to read." - Brandon Pilley from Omnicomic

As you can see, the good word of mouth about this book is only growing, so make sure to get your copy of what just might be one of the best received mini-series of 2010. Just look for the cover image shown here.

Lastly, I totally failed to notice that this blog's one year anniversary was last week, as well. Boy, time sure does fly, doesn't it? Let me just thank all of you who've stopped by here in the last year and have supported us over that time. It really means a lot to all of us at Sequential Treasures. Hopefully, the best is only yet to come! Until next time, peace out!

Wishing you the best for the Holidays!

Hello again, everyone! As we go racing towards the end of 2009, we all tend to reflect on what the year has brought us and where we'd like to begin the new year. Of course, with Christmas only a week away, many of us are turning our thoughts to out loved ones and those closest to us.

It's no different for your blogmaster here at Sequential Treasures, in that regard. It has been quite a year with some great highs and even greater lows. As such, I could really use a bit of a break. So, starting now and run through the first of next year, all sales activity will be suspended, so I might partake in the fun of the holidays and spend so time with my own loved ones. This month has been completely flatlined, as far as sales go (which is a bit surprising and a little disappointing, I might add), so I figured that it would be a good time to take a break and get some time to recharge for the start of next year, which I'm hoping will be even better than this one is. I already have some things going on that I can't yet announce, but rest assured that it will all make the kick off of 2010 a good one.

So, I want to take this moment to thank all of you who've supported us through this year (by way of financial means or any other) and wish all of you a joyous holiday. I also want to thank our artists for their tireless effort and gracing us with their immense talent. I'll see you all next year! Until then, peace and goodwill to all of you!

Sincerely,

James Meeley
