Two Morrows Sale!

TWOMORROWS OFFERS HUGE HALF-PRICE MAGAZINE SALE!

TwoMorrows Publishing, publisher of award-winning books and magazines about LEGO® and comics history and appreciation, is offering their complete magazine line at 50% off, as part of a "Half-Price Magazine" sale, now through September 30, 2009.

"An awful lot of people have enjoyed our magazines over the last 15 years," said publisher John Morrow, "and this is a chance for them to fill the holes in their collections without leaving holes in their wallets. By my rough count, there's well over 200 different issues on sale. For about the price of the Digital Edition of one of our mags, they can get the print version—and in many cases, they'll get a Digital Edition thrown in for free."

The "Half-Price Magazine" sale includes issues of these titles:

Back Issue!

Jack Kirby Collector

Draw!

Alter Ego

Rough Stuff!

Write Now!

Comic Book Artist

BrickJournal

plus other miscellaneous humor and one-shot magazines, each at 50% off cover price. The only magazine-related items excluded from this sale are subscriptions and the most recent and upcoming issues of each magazine. As a bonus, a selection of books are also offered at 50% off during the sale period.

This sale is only valid for orders placed at www.twomorrows.com through the end of September, and does not include shipping costs. A special "Half-Price Mags" category is listed atop the TwoMorrows' home page, which includes the issues on sale.

NOTE TO CUSTOMERS OUTSIDE THE US: We had a temporary glitch at our online store, where the US Postal Service rates displayed for non-US shipments ONLY included the most expensive "Priority Mail International" shipping option. That problem has been fixed, so that now you'll also have the much less expensive "First Class Mail International" option available. If you tried ordering before and were dismayed by the postage costs, please try again.

CRN 13268 SFIN 350D Public Art Charrette taught by ATL's Prof. Susan Krause in Sculpture.

"Introducing students to the exciting and competitive field of public art, this unique cross-discipline course teaches participants how to imagine and design works that impact the public, based on content, environment and audience engagement. Students will examine the pertinent issues of this topic through historic and contemporary examples of public works and how they have affected (and will affect in the future) both social and political discourse. Travel between Atlanta and Savannah campuses, a symposium and design charrette are part of this singular format."

Decatur Book Festival in One Week

One of the real treasures of Atlanta's cultural offerings is the annual Decatur Book Festival, held in downtown Decatur. It's the largest independent book festival in the country, with hundreds of authors, illustrators, publishers, and readers reveling in all things print. The folks in charge are also very comics-friendly, usually bringing in a number of cartoonists to do workshops, lectures, and panel discussions.

It's also completely free.

Below is a chronological schedule of the comic-related events going on at this year's DBF. I strongly recommend any SCAD comics students in the area to take advantage of these opportunities. Though any of you are (of course) welcome at my solo workshop, if you're only to able to come for one day, or otherwise need to prioritize your time, then please attend the workshops and talks given by someone who is NOT your regular professor; you've got me year-round, so be sure to take full advantage of the folks with whom you have less proximity.
