May 21st, 2011: Jason Shiga signing Empire State, A Love Story (Or Not)

Apr 252011

EMPIRE STATE:

A LOVE STORY (OR NOT)

Jimmy is a stereotypical geek who works at the library in Oakland, California, and feels trapped in his own torpidity. Sara is his best friend, but she wants to get a life (translation: an apartment in Brooklyn and a publishing internship). When Sara moves to New York City, Jimmy is rattled. Then lonely. Then desperate. He screws up his courage, writes Sara a letter about his true feelings, and asks her to meet him at the top of the Empire State Building (a nod to their ongoing debate about Sleepless in Seattle). Unfortunately, upon his arrival Jimmy learns that first love and first heartbreak go hand in hand.

Jul 292010

This special issue of Arkitip Magazine celebrates the world’s greatest sporting spectacle—the FIFA World Cup—seen through the eyes of New York City’s own Chinatown Soccer Club with support from official FIFA sponsor adidas.

Founded in 2002, the Chinatown Soccer Club is a crew of artists, photographers, designers, writers, skateboarders and like-minded creative individuals. This diverse collective, united by a passion for this beautiful game, converges on New York City’s Chinatown year-round in all weather and seasons for friendly morning matches before heading to work.

The 2010 FIFA World Cup will be the 19th FIFA World Cup, the premier international football tournament. It is scheduled to take place between 11 June and 11 July 2010 in South Africa. The World Cup is the most widely-viewed sporting event in the world, where an estimated 715.1 million people watched the final match of the 2006 World Cup held in Germany. Italy’s team are defending champions.

WELCOME TO LOS ANGELES 2010

(HOPE YOU SURVIVE THE EXPERIENCE!)

Join Meltdown Comics once again for the annual, the legendary, the infamous COMIC CON DECOMPRESSION PARTY
“WELCOME TO LOS ANGELES 2010″ Featuring appearances by comic book creators IVAN BRANDON, SAM HUMPHRIES, and FELIPE SMITH! Special appearance and live performance by JANE WIEDLIN of the Go-Go’s and Lady Robotika! Food! Rock! New comics fun!

Monday, July 26 at Meltdown Comics, the Comic-Con Decompression Party “WELCOME TO LA 2010″ takes place in grand style as we welcome back our brother Felipe Smith, cartoonist of the brilliant Los Angeles story MBQ and the wonderfully unhinged PEEPO CHOO which sees its first English language translation in print this month. Felipe left our shores for the distant coasts of Japan on the heels of the Tokyo-Bubble-Pop to pursue production at the source. His drive and the gamble in his heart led him to creative success and now we raise our glasses as the prodigal son returns home to Meltdown to teach us how to deepen your blacks with squid ink, and drink seawater and spit fire in the face of the gods!

Adding a bit of boss to the sauce will be Jane Wiedlin, one of the world’s greatest songwriters and a deadly talent of the stage. Jane is a megafan of genre fiction and has brought her terrifying intellect and rock bonafides to bear in the creation of her new comic LADY ROBOTIKA from Image Shadowline. Jane will be signing her comic and performing a short live set in the Melt Gallery. Be sure to ask her to tell stories about the days when the Tropicana used to be a live music venue. Hair-holding hilarity for all!

Representing from New York City in a rare West Coast appearance is Ivan Brandon, writer of VIKING, Batman, and Doc Savage! The sheer size of his impressive tome will rock your socks off. Ask him to sign it sideways for distant viewing.

Local hero Sam “The Hammer” Humphries will be welcoming the walking dead to Los Angeles, signing his new funk-as-puck CBGB comic book from BOOM! Studios! Check it out and get a FREE limited edition art print by Rob G., while supplies last! He’ll also be signing FREE Fraggle Rock posters from Archaia in advance of the highly anticipated Fraggle Rock hard cover.

All of this augmented by snacktasms served up by the Tastymeat! food truck. Man, I am going to crush a Bamwich the minute I arrive. Check their wares at www.tastymeat.org prior to your arrival and make that line short so we all get fed!

FELIPE AND PEEPO CHOO!
JANE AND LADY ROBOTIKA!
IVAN AND VIKING!
SAM AND CBGB!
MEAT MEAT MEAT!
Not everyone gets a chance to head to San Diego, so we bring the party to YOU!
