Two books my work is published in were announced earlier today as nominees for Harvey Awards in the same category (Best Anthology). I have work in Team Cul de Sac: Cartoonists Draw the Line at Parkinson’s and District Comics: An Unconventional History of Washington, DC.


Team Cul de Sac is also nominated in the categories of Special Award for Humor in Comics, Special Award for Excellence in Presentation, and Best Biographical, Historical, or Journalistic Presentation. Way to go, Team!

The Harvey Awards recognize outstanding work in comics and sequential art and will be presented at this year’s Baltimore Comic-Con on September 7, 2013. Curls Studio will also be exhibiting at the show in Artist Alley.

On Saturday, June 29, 2013 Curls Studio exhibited at Annapolis Comic-Con, run by Awesome Conventions. We had a great time meeting everyone and catching up with other comic creators, artists, and writers.

Joe Carabeo hosted the “Pro Wrestling Today” panel with Ben Taylor and Dan Nokes, a follow-up to their successful Awesome Con panel, which took place last April. You can listen to audio of their Awesome Con panel here and their Annapolis Comic-Con panel here.

Also a fan who collects trading cards showed us his full collection, which included cards of us that we signed at a previous event. I had no idea we were next to Kate Beckinsale and Lynda Carter! I guess it pays to be in alphabetical order!

Magic Bullet #6 Thank You Card

Here is the thank you card we organized and mailed to our advertisers and others who helped us print and distribute Magic Bullet #6. I wanted several people to contribute art and come together in an organic way for the card. The process included making small paper strips with the artist names pulled from a hat in order of the characters in the words ‘Thank You!’ The artists could make their assigned letter in any medium or style in a clever way as long as it is legible.

T – Carolyn Belefski, curls-studio.com
H – Rafer Roberts, plasticfarm.com
A – Matt Dembicki, matt-dembicki.blogspot.com
N – Jacob Warrenfeltz, kinginkcomics.com
K – Steve Loya, steveloya.com
Y – Andrew Cohen, howzitfunnies.blogspot.com
O – Evan Keeling, etkeeling.com
U – Matt Rawson, theglassistudio.com
! – William Brown, wmlbrown.com

The card came out great printed on glossy paper. For the inside, we collected digital signatures and most of the contributors were able to be a part of the project with their John Hancock. This is the first time we’ve sent out thank you cards. It’s a good way to connect with the people and organizations who made our project happen.

We are currently accepting comic submissions and advertisers for Magic Bullet #7. This issue will be Halloween/Spooky/ Fall themed with August 1, 2013 as the deadline. For more information, please visit: http://magicbulletcomics.blogspot.com
