Emerald City Comicon Report

March 16th, 2010 Filed under Conventions, Octobriana, Poseur Ink No Comments

Hey all,

Thanks for helping us have such a great time in Seattle this weekend! There was the Tweet Me Harder event at Arcane Comics Friday night, amazing sales on Saturday, good sales Sunday, and amazing nights out with some of the best folks I know: Brandon Graham, Robin McConnell, Miriam and Mike, the Cloudscape Comic guys, Greg Thelen, and so so many others whose names and links I don’t have on hand. (You wonderful people all know who you are, and we’ll see you in a few weeks at Wondercon.) A special thanks to my booth babe Sarah Shay for rocking so hard at helping me promote our newest project Octobriana, and for picking up my slack when I was less than articulate.

To all the attendees: you really made this a great show to start our convention season! We’re going to have some new merch within the next few weeks so be sure to stop by at Bamboozle and Wondercon to check that out.

I’m sure I’ll blog again before then, but let me leave you with some photos of ECCC to hold you over until then:

Emerald City Comicon

Hey guys,

I completely forgot to mention that we’ll be exhibiting at Emerald City Comicon next month, March 13th and 14th at the Washington State Convention Center. We’ll be at booth M-17 in Artist Alley, along the side wall (sandwiched between Man of Action Studios and Cloudscape Comics). We’ll have most of the shirts and all of the comics available with us, so please don’t hesitate to stop by! I should also have a folder of original art and comic pages on hand, so look forward to that!

New Project: Octobriana

February 23rd, 2010 Filed under New Products, Octobriana, Poseur Ink Tagged , No Comments

Indie publishing company Poseur Ink is hoping to release a new and exciting graphic novel series upon the world: Octobriana. The book is a fantasy action piece that goes back to the superheriones’ origin in an underground protest zine which stood up for sexual expression in Soviet Russia. With this new incarnation being written by indie comics writer Steve Orlando (HOPE: New Orleans anthology, Outlaw Territory), and illustrated by Chaz Truog (Animal Man with Grant Morrison), the book is looking to be a titillating thrill.

We just launched a Kickstarter to help raise the printing fund for the book. (Should we raise more than that, the additional income would go to cover artist costs, advertising, and promotional materials.) By pledging to the fundraiser, you receive a sliding scale of rewards based on your pledge amount. Blog-related incentives include: work from Steve’s thesis that started it all, original sketches, pin-ups by various artists to be featured in the book, and digital mixtapes related to the series. Non-blog incentives include: a PDF of the book, a copy of the mini-comics, a copy of the full trade (4 issues plus bonus materials), a signed copy of the full trade, and original artwork from the book.

The story is wonderful, the art is fantastic… We simply can not wait to share Octobriana with you, and hope you’ll enjoy it!

Please check out the Kickstarter and pass on the good news to your friends!

APE Report and New Merch in Stock!

October 26th, 2009 Filed under General, New Products, Poseur Ink No Comments


APE 2009 Report

Weekend before last, we went up to San Francisco to sell at The Alternative Press Expo, put on by Comic Con International. As always, it was a blast. Attendance seemed slow, and sales were generally down, but everyone was happy to be there; and we got to see a lot of friends we only see once or twice a year.

We debuted the new Primary mini-comic (compiling all 32 pages of issue one) and a new tiny mini-comic, Recycle Love, that we nearly sold out of! (Only 4 copies left from that original print run. Available on the site.)

Most of our sales at the show went to the brand new run of shark shirts that we got in last week! We mailed the pre-orders out on Wednesday when the shirts arrived, packed up the rest, and brought them up to APE with us. They were definitely a huge hit! (Order yours online today for just $16!)


New Products:


Mod Buttons now offers 1.5" buttons!

Our custom button company, Mod Buttons, is now offering 1.5" buttons. Slightly larger than the standard 1" buttons, 1.5" buttons stand out among the crowd! Great for showcasing artwork or photos, due to their higher readability!

Upcoming Product Pre-orders

We’re only 17 pre-orders short to print our upcoming mermaid shirt! We can’t go to print until we sell those last 17 shirts, so tell your friends and orders yours online today for just $16!

Don’ forget!
