Paper Planes

Nov 8

Myself and artist super-friend Billis Helg will be sharing a table this weekend at Seattle’s first-ever Short Run festival of local, small-press publications. The event will be held on Saturday, November 12, 2011 from 10:30 AM to 4:30 PM at the Vera Project. I’ll be selling some reprints of my comics and minis, and Billis and I have plans to unveil a collaboration we’ve been working on. Also, fellow artist-compatriots the Bureau of Drawers will be at the table next to us, so you’ll have a chance to see/buy some of the cool goods they’re selling. Stop by if you can!

Combo: Original Artwork by the Bureau of Drawers

Friday, September 10th, 2010 is a big day because it marks the Bureau of Drawers’ first-ever gallery show! The event is being held at UrbanLight Studios in Greenwood, and festivities will commence at 6PM. We’ll be showing original artwork, doing live drawing, and (to make the occasion extra-special) debuting our brand-new anthology: Combo #1.

What is Combo #1? Combo #1 is sixteen original minicomics by Bureau members all lovingly stowed in a limited edition, silk-screened catering box and made available for purchase. The whole thing should be a lovely objet d’art, and there will be only about forty available for purchase - meticulous collectors take note! Anyway, I’ll definitely be in attendance on Friday, and you ought to stop by and say hello! Here are the show details:

So I guess you’re wondering, “Carl, did you do a minicomic for Combo?” And the answer is: oh, yes. I’ll have it posted here after Combo’s debut, but here’s a peek from my folding session:

For those who follow this blog regularly, there’s likely to be a lull in entries for the next few days. I’ve almost exhausted my supply of previously scanned sketchbook pages, and I’m going to need to sit down and prepare a new batch. Posting should be back to normal in a week or so. Thanks, -C.
