The beautiful artwork of Stefari & Rhodora Jacob. Come by BLICK and say hello. |
July 16th @ BLICK
If you happen to be in the Seattle area this weekend, you should come see the amazing and diverse crowd of cartoonists who are participating in the Artist Alley, hosted at BLICK Art Materials this weekend.
BLICK is the hold-out arts supply store on Capitol Hill, and it's located in close proximity to Seattle Central Community College, on Pine and Broadway.
I will only be tabling on Saturday, July 16th, so if you want to see me, come then. But there will be artists there on Saturday and Sunday for you to visit.
I swore up and down earlier this year that I would table no events until I have new comics to sell. Well. I WILL have new comics in October, but I don't mind being at BLICK with Gone Girl Comics 1 & 2 plus Jezinkas. It should be a new audience for me and I was part of the I Heart Comics Art awards.
BLICK will be offering 50% Custom Framing discounts as well as other in store promotions. See you there! Special thanks to BLICK and Ladykiller for hosting.

Hot Off The Press: A Cool Summer Book Fair

A wide view of the event. I'm hanging out in hot pink. |

Me with cartoonist and poster artist extraordinaire, Pat Moriarity. Behind us, wielding grilling tongs, is Seth Goodkind, another fine Seattle cartoonist and co-founder of Push/Pull Gallery. |
The BLICK event will happen exactly one week after Hot Off The Press: A Cool Summer Book Fair hosted by Fantagraphics Bookstore and Gallery.
I already knew there was a shindig going down at Fantagraphics last Saturday. The Intruder, a free comics newspaper that I blogged about earlier here, decided to sunset their publication after four dedicated years and were throwing a sort of goodbye party there. What I did not realize was that there was a mini tabling event featuring local independent cartoonists.
It was a sunny, sunny Seattle day and the artists were set up on the sidewalk. I thought I was getting there early but the tables were full and I ended up setting up like a sunglasses salesman at a street fair (which I actually had fun with. NO COMPLAINTS) between veteran cartoonist and illustrator Pat Moriarity and Eisner-Award winning cartoonist David Lasky.
For Seriously. Pat Moriarity and I both have stories in the Serbian anthology Skulptura? - though Pat did the cover! I was thrilled to have such great neighbors. Throw in the fact that we were also sharing space with the fabulous Fogland Studios and I couldn't have been in better company.
There were hot dogs, beverages, a ton of people, a lot of camaraderie, and I made enough in sales to buy a badly-needed new laser jet printer. It's the kind of comics artist hang out you really want to be at - most of it most likely thanks to Fantagraphics heavy-hitters Larry Reid and Janice Headley.
The photos are by Mark Campos. He's gotten good at the documentary thing. You can find more event photos on the event Facebook page here.

Next week, I'll get back to the actual art.
