Wayback Wednesday… to Special Edition NYC, June 14th-15th at the Javits Center.
A rare sight of an empty Artist Alley. No banners, no prints, no artists, no fun!
Ladies and Germs, New York Comic-Con is just a week away (try not to panic!).
I’ll be at the BLAM! Ventures table, Q13, situated in this same hall that weirdly mimics an airplane hangar. Won’t you join me?

Greetings followers!
We’ll soon be breathing life back into the BLAM! Ventures Tumblr account (and we’ll be debuting a new off-shoot Tumblr, with Katie Delz / soulbots as the captain of that ship, but more on that later!)
In the grand tradition of updates, we’ve got some convention news!
New York Comic-Con is coming up! 20 days until one of our favorite hometown conventions / the last convention of our year.
Chandra Free / spookychan & Andrew E.C. Gaska will be located in Artist Alley this year at table Q13 (see our handy map above so you don’t miss us!).
We’ll be selling books, prints (both classic and new!), commissions, and quitte possibly, we’ll have a few surprises up our sleeves. The only way to find out for sure is if you stop by! That’s table Q13 in Artist Alley!
See you there!

First! Just what is BLAM! Ventures?
BLAM! Ventures is a guerrilla studio that ‘packages’ prose and comic projects for release through other publishers, including creator owned projects originated in house. Projects are finished at BLAM!– pencils, colors, word balloons, graphic design, etc.– and then are offered to one of our many publishing partners. With five major graphic novel releases over a four year publishing history, BLAM! is now looking for a few good artists to become part of the magic that will be BLAM!s next wave of releases.
