Donations of Comics and Art Books

ShRiek is collecting books for a librarian at the New Mexico Corrections Department. Comics and art books are always in high demand in the libraries — if you have some you'd like to donate, send her an email.

24 Hour Comics Day

Saturday, October 7-Sunday, October 8 | noon | True Believers Comics and Gallery | Santa Fe, NM

7000 BC will be co-hosting a 24 Hour Comics Day event along with True Believers Comics and Gallery in Santa Fe from noon on Saturday straight through to noon on Sunday. It's a tremendous challenge, but terrific fun. And last year, our own Syk Ryk had his comic selected for the 24 Hour Comics Day Highlights 2005, which receives international publicity and distribution.

We'd also like to extend our thanks to Aroma Coffee, Trader Joe's, and Tomasita's for their generous donations.

Update: The event is over, and we had terrific participation and a great time. At our peak, had 25 creators working at the shop. By deadline, we had 15 comics, 11 of which made it to 24 pages; there's also a few who took theirs home to complete. Follow our progress — and that of participants from around the world — at the 24 Hour Comics Blog. Or you can skip straight to our last three posts here, here, and here (first one got lost in some confusion about where we were to post).

Further update: Photos at Flickr.

report from Cactus Con

Well, the Phoenix Cactus ComiCon was a lot of fun, even though the Small Press / Artist Alley got moved from the main floor into The Stifling Hot Corridor of Sweaty Hotness with Extra Heat. Some highlights:

Pete and Paul set up the banner, which saved us from melting in the sun...



... because we were backed up to the only large window in the hallway:



Some views of the table:

  

On Sunday, Mai — one of the Con staffers — came by to have her t-shirt signed. Bram and I tagged her with a 7000 BC logo and Pete left a sketch of Keenan from Fakin' the Funk:

 

This guy wore his politics proudly, and picked up a copy of Jamie Chase's Scary Clowns.



Spidey gives Ryk's new sketchbook, Chipotle, the thumbs-up. We promise not to tell Stan Lee.
