Did you go to Star Wars Celebration VI over the weekend? You can let us know how it went via our comments section or discuss and share your photos in our BMS Forum.
New glossy double-sided Blue Milk Special promo cards will be available at Baltimore Comic Con on September 8-9. You will be able to pick one up at our table in Artist Alley (table A96, see below). For people who can not make it to the show, we will throw in one of these free promo cards with each purchase of Leanne’s new 2012 sketchbook as a bonus and a thank you. Leanne’s sketchbook has 32 interior pages of art and is nice way to support Blue Milk Special. 🙂
On Saturday and Sunday, September 8-9, 2012 Blue Milk Special’s creators (that’s Rod and Leanne Hannah) will be at Baltimore Comic Con. If you can make it to the show, you will find us in Artist Alley at table A96. Hunting around for us will be a lot easier with the map below to help guide you, and it will be worth your time as we will have brand new Empire Strikes Back-themed glossy Promo Cards which will be free! You can support us by purchasing Leanne’s new 2012 Sketchbook, getting a commission of any character you like, buying prints, saying nice things, etc. 🙂
The Art of Leanne Hannah 2012 Sketchbook will also be available to purchase online after the show, however this is a rare opportunity to meet us and pick up goodies and sketches. So, if you can make it to the show, please look for us and give us a few minutes of your company, show off your gear and chat about Blue Milk Special!
Blue Milk Special Baltimore Comic Con 2012 Floor Plan map
Didn’t go to CVI (didn’t have the money or time), but I’m so going to Celecration Europe II next year! 😀 Still giddy from the announcement. *fangirlgiggles*
I went to the first Celebration Europe in London in 2007 (right after CIV) and it was awesome, enjoyed it more than the US version. You’ll have a blast Lora.
Have fun in Baltimore, guys, wish I could drop in…
BTW – that floor map is a work of art in itself 🙂
I really want to go and meet you guys in Baltimore, but I’m looking at the guest/artist list and no names are jumping out at me. I don’t read that many comics anymore, and the ones I do, none of the creators are appearing. I know Stan Lee and a couple of the other big names, but they’re not much of an enticement. So far BMS is the biggest draw. I need at least one more reason to go before I can justify the cost to myself. Also I have minimal budget for buying comics 🙁
Anyone can reccomend some of the artists/writers there, it sure would help me.
As you don’t see anyone on the guest list that appeals to you, I take it you’re asking for recommendations of new work to try out. I would not know where to begin, honestly. There are so many people there but, as I’m not much of a comic reader myself, I’m probably in the same boat as you. If you are that undecided then I would suggest saving your money for an occasion that you will really be fired up for; especially if you have a long distance to travel. Cons are NOT cheap for out-of-towners.
No, its an hour’s drive, and I would do Sunday only. Drive there and back same day. So just the cost of admission, plus I would have to pay for my lady who would only be there to keep me company. She likes BMS, and comics, etc. but not really an enthusiast.
I am actually looking for recommendations of new work, but my tastes are so ecclectic, its a rather difficult thing to do. My favorite writers at the moment are Brian Wood and Terry Moore. Neither of them are there, but if anyone knows of books/writers in a similar vein(s), I’d appreciate it.
I owe T. Gatto from the Groo list for the BMS recommendation a few years back now. 😉
See, part of going would be to browse and maybe discover a few new things, but having at least a few sure things ahead of you gives insurance.
Thanks anyway. I’m going to keep mulling over it.
How rude am I? Going on about all that without a compliment on today’s strip.
Very funny! This steak will change your mind!
The incentive strip is even funnier! Great!
A 1 hour drive means you’re closer to Baltimore than us! You should definitely go. There will be other webcomic artists at the show too, I’m sure. I have not thoroughly digested the guest list yet myself. Even if you don’t make it, we appreciate all your kind words over the years!
Woo hoo, Xander a fellow Groo fan on BMS. 🙂
What is the definition of Mulch?
Mulching is a process of inbred fertilization which employs certain decomposed organic materials, including, but not limited to animal sediment, to blanket an area in which vegitation is desired. The procedure enriches the soil for stimulated plant development while, at the same time, preventing erosion and decreasing the evaporation of moisture from the ground.
Waiting patiently till I can buy a sketch book. 😉
Any more shows planned, or being considered?
Leanne will be at Power Con in Los Angeles in late September. She’ll be involved in a panel there too, reminiscing about her days as a comics editor. Early next year we will more than likely attend some book fairs to shop our children’s storybook around. We will throw a website together to promote it and merchandise. We are shooting for Otakon next year, which will be in the middle of 2013. That show has been very lucrative for friends of ours in their Artist Alley, more than can be said for general comic shows. As far as comic cons go, I don’t know if we will do any other than Baltimore. However, we will probably be at our local comic book store’s Free Comic Book Day next year.
Otakon is the 2nd largest anime convention in the US I believe, so there’s a lot of potential for any artist. It was like 33,000 or something this year. The two guys that do the Fanboys vs Zombies comic even had an spot in artist alley this year, uh, Flash and Franchise. Can’t remember their real names off the top of my head.
As for Baltimore Comic Con this year, I’m nerding out big time about Larry Hama and Herb Trimpe being there. So many from the GI Joe world in general it’s crazy.
Oh, and C6 was a ton of fun. Hopefully Marc Wolfe will get my sketch book back to me within the next week 🙂
Spent the weekend at SWC6 and had a blast as usual. Kids and i all enjoyed ourselves immensly.
Hi! I am so excited to meet you at Baltimore Comic-con. I was wondering…I see you guys have a map. Well where the heck is the schedule and stuff. I want to plan!
The final event program doesn’t appear to be up on the site yet. It probably won’t be printed until later this week but check http://baltimorecomiccon.com/ . Saturday will have the most going on and runs from 10am-7pm. Sunday will be a little quieter and people usually have more time to visit people like ourselves in the often forgotten Artist Alley. Sunday hours are 10am-5pm. Apart from ourselves, guests will include Stan Lee, Brian Bolland, Garth Ennis, Neal Adams, John Romita Jr., Mark Waid, Frank Cho, Tod Dezago, Craig Rosseau, Rich Woodall, Kelly Yates, Jon Kallis, Adam Withers and Comfort Love, and more still to be announced.
Is it just me or did that sound a little bit like cannibalism?
Wow. I was almost stoned for similar jokes.
“Wear people’s skin, not fur.”
“Eat people. not animals.”
There is a man that is comfortable with his convictions!
