We will be getting the Family Style founding members together for a rollicking discussion of the F.S. Jamboree, the pitfalls of colaborative creation, and the crazy inter-personal drama the project created for us! It should be a seriously hilarious and potentially enlightening panel for anyone who is thinking of creating a collaborative, community-based project, or any one who wants to get to know us better than they already do! It looks like pretty much all of our original members (Beth Bouffard, Chris Brennan, Jonas Madden-Connor, François Vigneault, Antonio & Pablo Roman-Alcala, Gabe Ramos, Jenny Dickow, and Sarah Gion, thus far!) have signed on. So we'll see on Sunday, July 20, at the SF County Fair Building!François Vigneaulthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04966111026080774293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5848518886617993945.post-35877133325838031172008-05-06T13:55:00.000-07:002008-05-08T19:27:26.706-07:00We have TWO great new comics from Family members Jonas Madden-Connor and Sarah Gion:<br /> <br /><em>Ochre Ellipse</em> #2 is fantastic stand-alone comic with subtle ties to Jonas' premiere issue; it is at turns amazing, formal, spare, deep... This is the comic where Jonas is really coming into his own as a creator and a serious talent.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.family-style.com/mumblingmynah/uploaded_images/cover.02-774372.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px;" src="http://www.family-style.com/mumblingmynah/uploaded_images/cover.02-774372.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Sarah's new issue of her long-running zine/comix series <em>The Science</em> has hit issue 24 with a great mix of hilarious and bittersweet quotidian tales. This is (I believe) her first all comics issue, and she knocks the ball out of the park with her finely tuned observations and sweet drawings.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.family-style.com/images/catalog/science24cover.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px;" src="http://www.family-style.com/images/catalog/science24cover.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br />Both comics are available in our <a href="http://www.family-style.com/catalogpg2.htm">catalog</a>, go get 'em!<br /><br />All this productivity from my co-creators is making me look bad!François Vigneaulthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04966111026080774293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5848518886617993945.post-47268891245815833012008-02-03T18:58:00.000-08:002008-02-03T19:01:38.032-08:00Exciting news! We have yet another new page in our ever-growing catalog: The "<a href=" http://family-style.com/catalogpg5.htm">Extended Family</a>" section will feature zines and comics from some special friends of ours, including John P. (<em>King-Cat</em>), Captain Joyce Leslie (<em>The End of a Perfect Day</em>) and Raquel Reyes (<em>Tapir Caper</em>). These are works which we will be distroing for our friends alongside our regular Family Style publications. Much more is to come in the coming year, so check back again soon!François Vigneaulthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04966111026080774293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5848518886617993945.post-21813559520924783712008-02-03T17:17:00.001-08:002008-02-03T17:17:26.391-08:00Currently testing a new site format.Jonashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15790625414865805361noreply@blogger.com
