It’s already that time of year again–time for the Stumpwtown Comics Fest where we get to party, see so many of our friends, and table at the show. For the SIXTH year in a row we are hosting our tie-in party. It’s on April 15th at 8pm and features a reading, an art show, and the Maisie Kukoc Award for Comics Inspiration. There will be food and drinks. Here’s the poster:
We have an awesome new art show debuting at Guapo tomorrow night. It features all Portland, and all female cartoonists and and illustrators and is just called “Woman” in honor or Women’s History Month in March. The party starts at 7pm. Some drinks and snacks will be available. Here’s the flier:
As most of you know, most of our new releases and restock come in Wednesday of every week. When they came in on Wednesday always depended on UPS. Usually they arrived between 11am and 1pm. Our distributor has recently started offering new shipping options and we have changed our delivery schedule as a result. From now on we will get new releases early enough in advance to have them out by 10am every Wednesday morning. Now there will be no more guessing as to when your new comics are arriving on Wednesday.
This month we’re celebrating the new book by friend and Guapo logo creator, Aron Nels Steinke. Super Crazy Cat Dance is the full color hardcover kids book expansion of Aron’s self published black and white mini comic. Original art pages from the book will be gracing our walls throughout September.
On Sunday, 9-19-10, at 6pm we will be having a reading and book release party for Aron’s book and for Yes, Let’s, the beautiful new kids book published by locals Tugboat Press. Tugboat publisher Greg will be reading from/presenting the book.
There will of course be drinks and snacks.
Here’s the poster:
