Do you like the comics? (of course you do) and San Fran? Well, hop in your car or other mode of transportation and come out for the brilliant Alternative Press Expo for toons and more! It’s great fun and you’ll see me at table 832!
I spent nearly all day yesterday in The Cartoonery. Open Studios is next weekend… and I wanted to give the office a nice shine. I rearranged all the art on the walls, spruced up the plants, and moved a few things around. With a nice carpet cleaning mid week, the Squid Row Studio is going to Sparkle!
Peter, Squid Row Mama, Keith, & Walter… and Harold
Tim, fisherman’s wharf knower of fishy things… and leader of tours relating to said fishy things… oops, he blinked.
This past weekend, I boothed it at Monterey’s Fisherman’s Wharf and Custom House for The Art of the Sea Fest. The sun was shining all day, which was somewhat surprising… and I enjoyed talking with booth visitors and tourists and fellow artists and fans. Here’s some photo documentation of said event… (“people shots” courtesy stick-fig).
AND… I’ve printed up some “sea” prints… previous comics in large format that have to do with the ocean or a certain octopus… (Gus!)… all are signed and are a mere $10 bucks each.
So I’m steadily working on the zine (Art-o-rama)… and here’s a little preview of the art I’m working on if you subscribe to Art-o-rama at the “get art” level.
Really, folks, this is a deal… you get 6 months of art & comics PLUS some groovy art… all for a fifty dollar a year subscription rate. Lemmie go all PBS on you… that’s less than (um, carry the one…. excuse the feeble math skills)… $4.25 a month! Think of it this way… You’d be supporting a cartoonist, getting stuff and art… and you aren’t even paying for postage! AND you’re getting Squid content you aren’t getting online or in the newspaper…. So for the cost of a Double Mocha Frappa-something… one coffee per month… YOU could be getting STUFF! Okay, PBS-thing over. Go back to reading comics.
*If you wanna get your subscription… send me an email with your mailing address (and you can send me a check)… or just go to Etsy (Search: SquidRowComics) and follow the tres simple instructions.
**you can also do the regular subscription without the art… and that’s $30.
