HELHEIM ART SHOW @ SEQUENTIAL ART GALLERY, APRIL 5

In anticipation of the Stumptown Comics Festival, Portland's Sequential Art Gallery will be showcasing Joëlle's art from Helheim. Details are below.

Also, remember you can preorder sketches to pick up at Stumptown now.

Set in the late 6th Century, the new series (from writer Cullen Bunn and Oni Press) blends vikings, witchcraft, and undead monsters into a deliciously violent and horrifying mystery. Copies of Helheim #1 will be available for purchase during the opening reception on Thursday, April 4th from 6pm – 10pm.

If you’re visiting from out of town next month (and with the Stumptown Comics Fest coming in a few weeks, why wouldn’t you be?) the exhibit will also be part of the Festival’s Art Gallery Tours on Saturday, April 27th & Sunday, April 28th. The Fest offers limited-seating guided tours of several Portland galleries, all featuring exhibits by illustrators and comic book artists. And they’re free to Fest attendees!

In the meantime, we’re excited to join Joëlle for the show’s opening on April 4th. Hope to see you there!

[Nitty gritty details: The Art of "Helheim" will be on display throughout the month of April, with gallery hours on Thursdays from 3pm-7pm, Saturdays from 11am-5pm, and by appointment. The exhibit will close at the end of the tours on Sunday, April 28th. The Sequential Art Gallery + Studio is located in Old Town Chinatown at the Everett Station Lofts, 328 NW Broadway #113.]

EMERALD CITY, March 30-April 1 - Prebook sketches

Emerald City Comic Con is just around the corner, and it's time to open up the prebook list for sketches. Jamie Rich and I, as well as hopefully Nicolas Hitori de, will have a table in Artist's Alley -- Table H-11 -- and we'll be coming with books to sell. I will be sketching throughout the con,but if you're looking to get in early, I am going to try to get some done before I leave for the show.

If you want a sketch, set it up through Jamie at golightly[a]gmail[dot]com or through here joellejones[a]gmail[dot]com. He will keep the master list. My convention prices are:

* $50 for black and white, one character - $10 each additional character
* $100 color - $20 each additional character


If you have reference now, great! Please send it. It's also good to bring reference to the show, especially if you haven't gotten a spot on the list in advance.

I will probably have my portfolio with art pages, though as always, a lot of pages are with Cadence, so if you may want to check their site beforehand. If you want a page that isn't on the Cadence site, drop us a line, we may have it.

By the way, I will also be a guest for:

Cory’s guests at this inaugural event include Scott Pilgrim creator Bryan Lee O’Malley and the creative team behind Tiny Kitten Teeth, Becky and Frank. Featuring fake baking with House of Night artist Joëlle Jones, special musical guest Delta!Bravo, and a whole lot of comedy... some of it intentional.
