OOSA artists Greg Ruth and Toby Cypress will be part of the Eat Your Art Out 6 exhibition/silent auction on February 23, 2013 along with a ton of other talented artists. This year’s theme is “Creature Feature at the Drive-In”. If you’re out in LA, you don’t want to miss this!

Follow EYAO on Facebook to keep up with all that they have going on.

OOSA Gallery Shows in January:

Alexis Ziritt will be part of the Sketchbook Show at the Ashmore Gallery in Savannah, GA opening on January 18th. http://ashmoregallery.com/

Greg Ruth will be part of the Society of Illustrators’ Illustrator 55 show opening January 4th. http://www.societyillustrators.org/The-Museum/2013/SUMI/Opening-Reception—Illustrators-55—Part-One.aspx

Both of these should be amazing so check them out if you’re nearby.

Spectrum 19, featuring OOSA artists Greg Ruth and Logan Faerber (and these other great artists), is now available for sale just in time for the holidays. You can see Logan’s piece that made it into the book above.

It seems fitting that Greg and Logan were paired up together for this OOSA print.

By the way, the print and the original art for both pieces shown above are available in the OOSA store should you be interested.

And on a related note: The call for entries for Spectrum 20 are now open, but only until January 25th so you’d better hurry.

Keep an eye on Dark Horse Presents early next year because they’re going to be doing a run of OOSA artists! First, Toby Cypress will be doing the art on “The White Suits’ written by Frank Barbiere in December and January. Next, Greg Ruth will be providing the cover for issue #21 in February. (The original is for sale here if you’re interested.) And then, Andrew MacLean is going to have a Snip Snip story featured in the Spring.

You’ll be able to find these comics on the shelves of any respectable comic shop once they come out.

I listed a couple of new pieces from Greg Ruth and Toby Cypress in the store. And don’t forget about the sale we’re having on Toby’s original art until the end of the week. Just enter “SANDY” at checkout for 10% off (including the new page I just added)!

Speaking of sales, I’ve dropped the price of the OOSA Anniversary Print Set to $40 for a limited time.

Hurricane Sandy Relief sales

I’m sure you all saw how Hurricane Sandy affected the East Coast,  specifically New York and New Jersey. One of OOSA’s own, Toby Cypress, was right in the middle of that mess on the Jersey Shore. His town was hit pretty hard and they anticipate being without power for a while, not to mention the long-term clean-up efforts. Toby is fine, but he may be out of commission for a bit. So to help out, I’m putting all of Toby’s original art on sale to try to get him some money in his pocket. Enter the code word ”SANDY” at the OOSA store when you buy any of his original pieces for the discount. The sale will end on the 16th, so don’t miss out.

Greg Ruth is also having a sale at his Etsy store and donating 50% of proceeds to the International Red Cross to help with their relief efforts for the areas affected by Sandy. Be sure to check that out as well.

Please reblog and share with your friends to help spread the word. Thanks!

I’ll try to put up some spooky stuff from the OOSA crew this week to celebrate Halloween. Here’s one from Greg Ruth.

A few announcements:

Paul Maybury is offering $50 commissions and half-off sale prices on his art in the OOSA store, but only until the end of the month. Details can be found at www.OutofStepArts.com

The kaBOOMbox Volume 1 kickstarter is drawing to a close soon. Everyone involved is really excited that we were able to surpass our funding goal and the book will get made. If you want a copy, you only have until October 24th to order one. $35 is all it takes to get the book shipped to your door (plus you get some nifty digital extras to go with it).

Greg Ruth is going to be redesigning his website, www.Gregthings.com, so look for that in the next few months.

And in case you missed it yesterday, Liz Suburbia has joined the OOSA crew!!! You can follow her on Tumblr to keep up with what she’s up to these days.

1. The Novel The Secret Journeys of Jack London: Sea Wolves

But on these waters, nothing is as it seems, and Sabine may be hiding dangerous secrets of her own.
