A Curls comic strip was selected to be published in the Philadelphia City Paper‘s special Comics Issue, celebrity judged by Art Baxter (who also did the cover above). The physical newspaper is available on newsstands this week in Philly! Take a look online here: http://www.citypaper.net/cover_story/2011-12-01-city-paper-comics-issue.html
Thanks to Philadelphia City Paper for having a comics issue and spotlighting comics in print.
Carolyn Belefski and Joe Carabeo spoke on Wednesday, November 30, 2011 as part of the annual DC Metro Final Cut Users Group special event taking place at the Government Video Expo, the East Coast’s largest pro video and broadcast expo.
It was interesting because most of the other speakers there were discussing very high tech stuff, such as the Arri Alexa camera and Autodesk Smoke. Curls Studio and Astray Productions presented some of our latest work along with glimpses of our how our process works while focusing on the topic of fun and how you can interject elements of yourself into projects to make it fun. I hope the attendees really appreciated our presentation and believe it was refreshing to see some practical effects and low tech innovation. We also made a film around one minute long that encompasses all 365 of my Sketch Before Sleep illustrations. I think it turned out to be really amazing.
We gave away a mystery box in the raffle at the end of the day. It’s confidential.
Thanks to Rodney Mitchell (who is pictured with Joe and I in the photo above) for inviting us to speak.

Today I did a guest blog for Jimmy Palmiotti’s Sexy Monday – which you should certainly subscribe to. Normally he selects images of sexy ladies, but this week I mixed things up and added some men.
Jimmy is the writer of Painkiller Jane, The Pro, Jonah Hex, Power Girl, the upcoming Queen Crab, and more!
Check out today’s SEXY MONDAY #96: http://jimmypalmiotti.blogspot.com/2011/11/sexy-monday-96-special-guest.html
Also be sure to check out last year’s Sexy Monday if you missed it.
Thanks again to Jimmy for the opportunity. Let us know which image is most sexy to you in the comments on Jimmy’s blog.
Hi everyone,
There are two weeks more to go with the “Harvey Pekar Library Statue: Comics as Art & Literature Desk” Kickstarter fundraiser and during this time, I ask you please consider donating. If you donate $10 or more, contact me at info[at]curls-studio.com and I will mail you a 5″x5″ signed print of my Harvey Head illustration, which is shown above.
I met Harvey in 2005 when I was a volunteer at Small Press Expo. Joe and I have fond memories of only being around him for brief moments.
So if you have some extra change, consider donating to the Kickstarter. Joyce also suggested having an American Splendor viewing party and passing a laptop (or hat) around to raise money. Either way, if Harvey impacted you life in comics, as a artist or writer, or life observations in general… please consider this project.
Thanks,
Carolyn
