New Comic: Giga-Geekery #1 Is Here!

I'm pretty excited to announce that my newest comic book, Giga-Geekery #1: Emperor Jack's Day Off, is making its debut right here!  Ta-Ta-Dah!  That was a horn flourish...

It is the story of how Emperor Jack tries to beat the Monday Blues by taking a day off.
He leaves a plate of Eggs and Toast to run the government while he is away, and amazingly, his breakfast does a pretty good job while he is away having fun adventures.  And it is written, penciled, inked, colored, lettered, printed, stapled and folded by me, Jay Larsen.

You Can Read a Preview of Giga-Geekery #1 by Clicking Here!

You Can Buy a Copy at our Etsy Store by Clicking Here!  Only $3.00!

You can see all of my original comics by Clicking on the Comics Tab at the top of the page.

We will be bringing copies, hot off the press, to our next live show,  Geek Fest 2012, a concert and vendor fair put on by Seattle Browncoats Charities.  Great music and performances and Great Shopping in Shoreline, WA.

New Coffee Hero (of Canton) Greeting Card

Just finished designing a new Coffee Hero Greeting Card just in time for Geek Fest 2012, a concert and vendor fair put on by Seattle Browncoats Charities. 
The show will be in Shoreline, WA this year, and it has expanded to two full days.

Shoreline Conference Center, 18560 1st Ave NE, Shoreline, WA 98155 on December 15 & 16, 2012. Hours: Saturday: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m., Sunday: 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.

This Coffee Hero Card available in our Etsy Store and we will be bringing some to the show.

This year is also the 10th Anniversary of Firefly, the Joss Whedon TV Show that featured the irascible Jayne Cobb, the Hero of Canton and owner of the most famous hat in all of Geekdom, the Jayne Hat. 

I hope the Browncoats like the design.

And although Jayne Cobb drinks his coffee with Xiongmao Niao, I don't recommend it.  Only Mudders drink that stuff.

-- Jay Larsen

Get Ready for Geek Fest 2012

LarsenGeekery will be vending at Geek Fest 2012, a concert and vendor fair put on by Seattle Browncoats Charities.
The show will be in Shoreline, WA this year, and it has expanded to two full days.

Shoreline Conference Center, 18560 1st Ave NE, Shoreline, WA 98155 on December 15 & 16, 2012. Hours: Saturday: 10 a.m. – 6 p.m., Sunday: 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.

We attended the show last year and had a great time.  Listened to great Geek Music and did some Christmas shopping for the geeks in our lives (and there are lots of them, let me tell you).  This year we are excited to be showing our complete line of Geekery Art and Gear.

The Browncoats are a fan group based around the popular show and movie Firefly (and Serenity) by Joss Whedon.  

Proceeds from this year’s event will support Urban Rest Stop, which provides shower and laundry facilities to those in need, and Food Lifeline, which feeds the hungry in western Washington.

So make plans to go to the show.  And wear your Jayne Hat!

A Public Service Announcement from LarsenGeekery.com

PS, new live show announcement coming very soon...

If You Like to Plan Ahead...

I know, I know.  Halloween is barely over and we haven't had our turkey day yet.  But Christmas and those other Holidays are right around the proverbial calendar corner.  So if you are the kind of person that likes to plan ahead (or if you would like to be that kind of person), now is the time to get your Holiday Cards.
Sure you could wait until the last minute and pick up a pack of mass-produced cards with boring designs at the local big box store.
Or, you could support local independent artists and order a stack of LarsenGeekery Holiday Cards with a design guaranteed not to be on Walmart shelves this year.

Each card has a Jay Larsen original design of an underwater holiday scene with a vintage diver playing Santa to a candy-cane colored octopus under the watchful eye of a certain submarine made famous by a certain book and movie.
The cards are blank inside, so you can customize your message.  And each card comes with matching envelope and comes inside a crystal clear bag to make sure everything is clean and bright when you get it, no matter how far we have to ship it.

So what are you waiting for?  Gather round the Holiday Coral Tree and get some Geeky Cards to make your Holiday Season happy and bright.
If you only need a few, order from our Etsy Store.
If you need a lot, Contact Us Directly.
We will make sure Santa gets your cards to you at a reasonable price.

And now the fine print:
(Submarine Delivery not available in all areas.  LarsenGeekery reserves the right to substitute USPS delivery.  Greeting Cards are not waterproof and should not be submerged for any period of time.  Respect the environment, don't collect coral to make your Christmas Tree.  Octopus not actually made of peppermint.)

Happy Halloween from LarsenGeekery

May you get more Treats than Tricks!

And may all your Witches be Scarlet!

Happy Halloween!

Bellingham ComiCon 12 Is a Wrap!

Bellingham ComiCon 2012 was last Saturday, and it was a great show!

We had a great time.  The show was well run.  And there were lots of great people there.  Lots of families out playing together. Lots of fans in great costumes.  Lots of great vendors and artists and lots and lots of long boxes full of back issues.
Evelyn sold some great wallets, pouches and bags.
And I sold lots of greeting cards, posters and even sold some cool commissioned sketches right there at the show.  Carlos got a cool Green Lantern, Hal Jordan style.  And Sam got a Big Barda to go with her great tattoo.  It is good to know there are still Jack Kirby fans in the world.

And A.J. Roberts even mentioned us in the article he wrote about the show for Komo News.  Check it out!

It is always a joy when the Larsens get to share what we love doing.
Thanks to all our new Geek friends.
Remember you can find most of our Geekery Gear right here on the Internets.
And if you don't find what you need, drop us a note and tell us what your are looking for.

See you at the next show,
Jay

LarsenGeekery is proud to announce that we will be exhibiting at the Jet City Comic Show!

Saturday

September 22, 2012

at the Seattle Center Exhibition Hall (on Mercer Street)

299 Mercer St., Seattle, WA 98109

10am to 6pm • Seattle, WA

We have attended this show in the past, as civilians.  And we highly recommend that you and your family attend this year.

If you have ever been curious about comic book shows, but you don't want to brave the crowds and media madness that surround the large multi-day shows like San Diego, well Jet City is your show.

Jet City is a one-day show with great guests, great exhibitors and affordable pricing.  Meet artists and writers face to face.  Get a sketch, buy some comics and have a great time. You can come and see everything in a few hours and still have time and energy left to go see other Seattle sights.

Jump over to the Jet City Comic Show web site, check out the guest list and purchase your advanced tickets.

We have an Etsy Store where Evelyn sells some of her bags, purses, and other treasures she finds at thrifts shops and estate sales.  Jay also has his comic book for sale there, and he has started to add some of his original watercolor mini masterpieces.

We also have a Zazzle Store where you can get T-shirts, mugs, totes, etc. with Jay's Geekery Designs on them.  Robots, Flying Monkeys, Cthulhu Girl, Rocket Girl, etc.

As a salute to NASA and the successful Curiosity Mars Rover Landing, LarsenGeekery presents a portrait of the first Monkey Moon Landing.
Everyone knows America sent monkeys into space before we sent human astronauts.
But few people know that monkeys were the first to land on the moon.  And this image is "proof" that such a monkey mission of exploration can be captured and transmitted on the Internet.
Although some people suspect that these images were produced in a studio somewhere near Arlington WA and not on the moon at all!  But we don't give into conspiracy theorists around here.  We choose to believe in monkey astronauts because the world would be a less interesting place without them.

Space exploration is Cool!  And we should be doing more of it!
Congratulations NASA!
