The First of the Year!

Well here we go again! Last year MAS Media Studios represented at three conventions in New York. This year the goal is to do it again! Our convention schedule is small at the present time, but it's how they say (who is "they"? I don't know) but they say "big things come in small packages"... well here we go, with a small number of conventions scheduled so far, MAS plans to show you just how big our package is! Woah! That didn't come out right... you know what I mean.

Anyway! The first confirmed venue for the MAS crew will be in the BX! That's right! Our good friend Ray Felix is at it again! Last year we were fortunate enough to be invited to participate in the first Bronx Heroes Comic Convention, and this year, he brings us the sequel! Ray and the Bronx Council of the Arts are proud to co-produce the 2nd annual Bronx Heroes Comic Convention. This convention, like it did last year, will present Bronx residents the best in Indy and mainstream creators of comics. According to Ray:

"The goal of the Bronx Heroes Comic Con is to bring
together a variety of comic book artists from the
Bronx and greater New York City area. It's our way
of opening doors and giving opportunities to lesser
known cartoonists and illustrators in our community,
while also widening the fan base for known professionals.
We strive to promote the understanding and appreciation
of comic book art and artists. One of our main goals is
to promote literacy and foster new generations of readers,
writers, cartoonists and creators. Every artist involved
in our convention will play a pivotal role in making this
event into a strong gathering of artists and writers."

The event will be fun and educational for artists of all ages as professional artists will offer free courses in the form of workshops in the areas of drawing inking, writing comic books and publishing your own Indy comic. There will be portfolio reviews, get your favorite comic characters drawn by industry pros and talented comic artisans for an affordable price and a free comic book just for walking through the door. Plus admission is free!

May 1st 2010 looks to be an exciting day as us here at MAS release the first issue of Russ5377. Pick up that and the Russ-T as well as the first issue of Street Journal! Convention season gets under way in May! See you there!
