Women of Wonder Day October 30th 2011

It's Women of Wonder Day tomorrow!
Formerly known as Wonder Woman Day, (I guess they changed it to make it inclusive for all super heroines) this charity event raises money for Domestic Violence programs. A very worthy cause.

Many artists (like Alex Ross and Adam Hughes) and celebrities donate pieces for the charity auction. I've been wanting to donate a piece for a while and finally gotten around doing it this year.

The reason why I didn't do it previously is because they don't accept all digital works, and frankly I didn't think my traditional skills were up to par (can't ctrl-z markers and ink).

This year though, I've practiced, and donated a marker illustration piece. I also did a digital color print piece (so it's a two-fer). More bang for the buck, right?

New York Comic Con 2011

My first big convention, oh boy, oh boy.

Sequential Salon Meeting, April 4th!

Hiya peoples, it's time for another meeting! Same time, same place! You know the drill. Do I even need to tell you guys what to bring? Hope to see some new work y'all!

2009 New York Comic Con: February 6th - 8th

A reminder to you all, January 2nd is the last day to register and have your tickets mailed to you. After that you will have to pick them up at the Jacob Javitz convention center. Have you bought your tickets yet?

Win a James Jean Art Book from Juxtapoz

If you sign up for an email newsletter for Juxtapoz magazine you are eligible to win the new James Jean Fables art book!

Anyone who's a fan or just like to win free stuff should sign up!

He is also having a solo exhibition at the Jonathan Levine Gallery in New York opening on January 10th.

Upcoming Sequential Salon Meeting: January 31st

The next Sequential Salon meeting will be held January 31st, Saturday at 12:00 noon. Same place as usual.

You know the drill, bring in any cool work n' stuff you want to share. I have been told that some of you were a little wary of uploading you're work to show others. If you'd rather email your scripts privately to one another that's fine. I still suggest you send each other your scripts as early as possible though. Personally, I like to read y'all's stuff in a quiet room with enough time to give a thorough critique.

I'm sure you all already know from my email but we may have a special guest from Indie Spinner Rack coming to interview us. Woo hoo recognition!

Concrete Jungle Art Contest

An upcoming film, titled 'Concrete Jungle' is holding an art contest for urban artwork. The prizes are an opportunity to feature your art in the film, $3000 cash, Mimobot USB Drives, etc.

Entries can be a concept piece of art, or a fully designed piece. Contest ends November 21st.

I skimmed through the entries gallery. We can definitely do better!

SVA Event: David Mazzucchelli & Graphic Novels from Europe

Graphic Novels from Europe
Wednesday, November 19, 6:30pm
209 East 23 Street, Amphitheater
BFA Illustration and Cartooning faculty member and comic book artist David Mazzucchelli will moderate a discussion with preeminent European graphic novelists. A book signing will follow.

The SVA website doesn't give much information on who these European artists are going to be but from what little info I was able to Google, French cartoonists David B. (EPILEPTIC, NOCTURNAL CONSPIRACIES) and Nicolas De Crécy (GLACIAL PERIOD) will be there.

They will also be at MoCCa.

Free Model Drawing Sessions

Lynne, Bowie, (not sure if Carlos was there that day- it might have bee his B-day), and I were talking about taking some model drawing classes again.

Lynne knew of something that was like $60 a month (I'm not sure if I could front that right now, or if my work schedule will even allow me to go- work sucks!)

But for SVA Alumni there are FREE Model Drawing Sessions at the GW on 23rd every Tuesday (except Nov. 25th) until Dec 2nd (I just found this out today) - NOTE: I am unsure the time it did not say, it just said Tuesdays.

It might not be much but it's something.

You must have your Alumni card and a Photo ID to go.

Just thought some might be interested in this especially Lynne.

Wow my first Blog ( I think, at least), anyway, hopefully I'll jump on this more

Illustrators 51: Society of Illustrators Competiton

For the first time, Illustrators 51, the Society of Illustrators' annual competition is accepting submissions online.

They have a 'Sequential' category (yay!) and the deadline is November 7th. There is an entry fee of $35. For more details click here.

I know many of us don't feel ready to enter a competition (or shelling out $35). Myself, I haven't entered a competition since college, 8 years ago! But it may worth trying, just to have a goal. If this year is impossible maybe next year?

There aren't many competitions geared for the sequential artist and Society of Illustrators is pretty prestigious, so y'know, consider it.

Sequential Salon Rescheduled to October 18th!

Hey peoples!

The next salon meeting is October 18th, Saturday 12:00 PM.

Again, bring your work or any cool things you might want to share. Writers upload your work early so we can have plenty of time to read it and doodlers print those pretty pictures up for everyone to see!

The Sequential Salon Challenge is still in effect too! 

The meeting will be at the same place as last time. For newbies who would like to attend e-mail me at sequentialsalon(at)gmail.com for the address and directions.

As a side note, the Sequential Salon blog was rated an 8.2 on Blogged.com.

They're apparently a new site so you can't fault them for being so misguided.

Sequential Salon Meeting Postponed

Due to scheduling conflicts the August meeting will be postponed, most likely until September. Will keep you updated when a new date is decided.

Next Sequential Salon Meeting, August 30th!

Hiya peoples,

The next meeting will be on August 30th, Saturday at 12:00PM. Same place as last time!

Wow, 3 months really pass by quickly doesn't it? Well, we have 3 more weeks to finish that Sequential Salon Challenge that was posted a while ago. I... haven't even started yet, but that's what Red Bull and coffee was invented for. Looking forward to that.

For the writers, I suggest you upload a word or pdf document of your work, to the blog, two or three days before the meeting. It takes a while for everybody to finish reading one script and we lose time for critiques. Besides, I think it always takes multiple readings to get a good analysis of the work before you can start critiquing it.

If August 30th is an inconvenient time for most of you we can always reschedule. Email me at the sequentialsalon(at)gmail.com.

For the regulars, once I confirm that everybody can attend I'll send an email with the meeting address and time later.

For first timers who want to attend the meeting, also email me at sequentialsalon(at)gmail.com for info.

See ya there!
