Artist Bio: Mike "Voz" Vosburg


Hey there, my faithful ones! Sequential Treasures continues to "bring the heat" in a summer that has been both eventful and sizzling hot! Today, I bring you news of yet another great talent which has join the artistic stables here. A longtime player who's been a part of the comics scene for over three decades. Take a moment and get to know about the man, they myth, the legend, Mike Vosburg:


"Born in the cold and gloomy confines of Michigan, fantasy and escapism were a natural retreat for Mike. Comics of all sorts - westerns, funny animal, horror and even costumed heroes- were his introduction to literature and art. He soon moved up to the illustrations of N.C. Wyeth and the the stories of Sax Rohmer, Dashiel Hammet, Raymond Chandler, The Twilight Zone and anything else that caused a chill to run down his spine. While his mom had banned TV from the household there were weekly trips to the movies (usually with a bag of his dad's homemade popcorn). Bob Hope, Randolph Scott, Danny Kaye and occasionally some bit of brilliance from Hitchcock filled his life. All of this was a drug that lifted you above the mundane experiences of life. Storytelling was a religion, and Mike wanted to be a high priest.

While he had virtually no formal art training Mike did have several jobs that helped him prepare for a career in art. As a library page he learned how to do research; as worker on the line in a bus factory he learned how to assemble and put together a project; as a schoolteacher he learned how to educate both himself and his clients; as a basketball coach he learned it's all about teamplay; and as a janitor he learned how to clean up after someone else.

As a teenage Mike edited and produced the fanzine Masquerader, which introduced him to many of his cohorts in the comic book world and helped jump start his career. He worked for Marvel and DC for a number of years, on books like Cloak & Dagger, Savage She-Hulk, Starfire, World's Finest Comics, Ms. Marvel and many more, until moving to LA in the mid 80's where he branched out into the fields of animation, advertising and film. He has produced artwork for the LA Museum of Tolerance, has drawn the entire run of cover inserts for the HBO Tales
from the Crypt
series, won an Emmy as a director on the HBO animated series Spawn. Besides any number of advertising projects he has done storyboards for a number of music videos for the like of Emimem, Marilyn Manson and Gwen Stefani. Most recently Mike has storyboarded The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Prince
Caspian and Journey to the Center of the Earth.

In his spare time "Voz" continues to attend weekly figure drawing courses, as well as produce painted art, still shoots baskets in his back yard and continues to create and produce his own comic book graphic novels Lori Lovecraft (a cover of one of those issues is shown here) and Retrowood."

So, as you can see, Mike has had a very long career and it's not over yet. We here at Sequential Treasures are beyond pleased to be working with an artist of Mike's caliber, both in skill and reputation. We will have some of Mike's art for sale very shortly, so make sure to keep tabs at our art gallery for that update in the future.


Well, that's all for now. Are you excited, yet? You should be. I told you that 2010 was going to be the biggest year ever for Sequential Treasures. And we certainly like to live up to our promises around here. I'll be back soon, hopefully with an update of art from Mike. Until then, peace out!

A new batch of art for sale from Richard Moore!


Hey everyone! Time to give you the lowdown on a new update of original art for sale from one of Sequential Treasures reliable stable of artists. This time, we have a new batch from that perennial favorite, Richard Moore!

In this update, we have two complete short stories from Richard's adult themed works. So, take note, this stuff is not meant for kids and in certainly NSFW. You have been warned. We have the 10-page tale of "The Pound: Hot Pursuit" (one of which is shown here), as well as the original 8-page story that introduced us to "Fire and Brimstone." You can view the pieces at our art gallery. Then, be sure to place your orders quickly, as our last batch of adult short stories from Richard moved incredibly quick.

Lastly, I have a small update on Richard's health. The sinus infection that prevented him from going to San Diego ComiCon is starting to clear up. The anti-biotics Richard is currently on is helping him to finally shake the bug and his doctor doesn't think it will be necessary to puncture his eardrum to remove the fluid build-up. So, good news all around. Also, Richard and his wife wanted me to extend their appreciation for all the well-wishing folks have sent their way. It actually helped them to know so many folks care about Richard's well-being. You guys are the best!

That's all for now, but I'm sure I'll be back soon with more news and art updates. The summer of 2010 is going to be the hottest on record for Sequential Treasures, but it'll have nothing to do with the temperature. Until next time, peace out!

Artist Bio: Mick Gray


Hey, folks, I'm back again, with more big news for you all. So, I hope you are sitting down while you read this. Since the last post marked the first 100 posts of this blog, what would be the best way to start off the next 100 blog entries? Why with an artist bio, of course. So, let me now give you the rundown on the newest talent to enter the Sequential Treasures fold. I give you, comic inker extraordinaire: Mick Gray!


"Mick Gray grew up wanting to be an artist and car designer. At the suggestion of his father, Mick became a draftsman, getting on the job training at 16 and an Associates Degree in Technical Illustration at 20. He created spec sheets, illustrated textbooks and designed packaging for electronics companies. In his early 20s he started his own business, Draftecnix. It was by a sheer
twist of fate that he became a comic book inker.



In 1988 his best friend suggested him to local comic book publisher, Dan Vado of Slave Labor Graphics. On a whim Mick brought down his portfolio of technical illustrations. He was instantly hired to ink backgrounds like buildings and cars on SLG books such as Hero Sandwich, The Griffin and Bloodlust.


When Dan's book The Griffin was recreated by DC Comics, Mick was asked to
assist the new inker Mark McKenna. This began a 6 year partnership and intensive
training at both DC and Marvel Comics. Mick assisted other inkers for years before gaining the confidence to get his own projects. Soon editors at Marvel and DC were calling him.


Mick is now an Eisner Award winning inker and has worked continuously for DC comics for over 20 years, along with some of the most talneted and recoginzed names in comics, on projects such as the Son Of Superman hardcover (J.H. Williams III), Supergirl And The Legion Of Super-Heroes (Barry Kitson), Zatanna (Ryan Sook), Promethea and Chase (J.H. Williams III), Batman Confidential (Rags Morales), Teen Titans Go! (Alexander Serra), The Joker hardcover (Lee Bermejo), JSA: Kingdom Come (Fernando Pasarin and Dale Eaglesham) and The Shield (Marco Rudy). And this is only some of his tremendously large body of work.
Mick's current project to inking over his old pal, Ryan Sook again on The Return of Bruce Wayne #5, as well as some future works he can't quite talk about right now.


In 2009 Mick published his first children's book, Al B. Mouse's Abecedarium, which had a print run of only 200 copies and is available through his website http://www.mickgray.net/."


So, as you can see, we have a bona fide star here and we at Sequential Treasures are very happy to have him on-board. And if you'd like to get to know a little more about Mick, you can check out some recent interviews he's done for Fan to Pro and Sketch Maven. We hope to have some of Mick's original art for sale soon, so keep watch at our art gallery for that (or you could also buy some of the other art, which is already there from our illustrious crop of talented artists).


That's all for this time. I must say, it certainly is a great way to close out the best month ever for Sequential Treasures. Let us hope it's the start of a trend. I'll be back soon with more news and goodies for you all. Until then, peace out!

Massive art update from Sequential Treasures!


Hello again, my faithful ones! I'm back to make your summer just a wee bit hotter for you. You may recall, that I noted to you yesterday that I had a HUGE update of original art for sale coming, but that it wasn't by the usual band of artists you've come to know at Sequential Treasures. Well, the art has just dropped and is now available to purchase. As for the big mystery on who the art is by, well wonder no more, as I can reveal to you the names: Steve McNiven and ChrisCross!

Yep, you are reading that correctly. One of the most stylized artists and one of the most popular artists in the industry today, and we now have some of their original art for sale. I recently had the chance to acquire over 50 pages of originals by these guys. It was such a good deal, I just couldn't let it slip away. In this gigantic batch of art, we have almost a dozen pages by ChrisCross, from the short-lived DC series Xer0. Also, we have over 40 pages of art by Steve McNiven from his CrossGen days, from the titles Meridian (one the pages of which is shown right here) and Ruse: Archard's Agents: Deadly Dare one-shot (and these including a couple of breath-taking double page spreads and some incredible splash pages). Even better, all of these are priced to move! You all know Sequential Treasures has always made making original art affordable a top priority. So, you can own some art by these modern-day masters and not break your bank account to do it. Just head over to the art gallery and check out all this awesomeness for yourself. But place those orders fast, as I suspect most of the good stuff won't be lasting long.

Well, was that surprising big news or what? I've been telling you all that 2010 is going to be the best year yet for Sequential Treasures. And we are well on our way to keeping that promise. And on top of that, this update marks the 100th post entry for this blog. Just amazing! That's it for now, gang. But I'll be back soon with more news and other cool stuff for you before you know it. 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!

Hey, gang! Well, even with our massive sale having just ended, as well as being in the midst of SDCC action, we here at Sequential Treasures HQ aren't slowing things down for a second. I promised you a update of new art available was coming soon and here it is!


From Richard Moore we have a couple of mature short stories, featuring his naughty princess creation, M'Lady. One of them was published and the other not. On top of that, we have a handful of character study pin ups, featuring character from another of Richard's creations, The Pound.

In all almost 30 new pieces are now up and ready to find new homes. So, do your part. Go check them out and place your orders.


That's all for now, but I'll be back with more stuff for you all, before you know it. I'm always scheming and planning bigger and better things, as 2010 remains on track to be our best year ever! Hope you'll stay tuned for all the greatness that is to come. Until next time, peace out!

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!


Well, that's all for now. For those of you going to the show, have a great time! 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!
