The Art Boutiki and SLG Publishing Venmo account was compromised, and someone drained our bank account to nearly zero. Chances are we will get the money back, but both the bank and Venmo say it will take at least 10 days to complete an investigation. So in the interim, I am having a 25% off sale at both slgpubs.com and artboutiki.com. Use the coupon code birthday67, sale ends 9/9

Also, mark your calendars for the first ever Art Boutiki pop-up. October 24th, we will be popping up at the Holistic Arts Center on West San Carlos,

I am thinking of doing a little Art Boutiki Pop-up in October to sell some of our shirts and other merch. I want to have a couple of other vendors selling as well to offset some of the venue costs. Drop me a line here if you are interested in vending. Date and venue are not 100% firm, so for now just gauging interest.

Actually, let me know if this is something you would come to. I might try to turn it into a regular thing.

If you have a business or space you might like us to pop up in, let me know here too.

OMWO is slowly getting support on Kickstarter, but we can use a lot more. The great news is that the general reaction to the graphic novel has been very positive, with the Kirkus review being the highlight.
“Author/illustrator Turner’s story is sharply satirical in its lampooning of politics, philosophy, and even television… Throughout, Turner’s bold, black-and-white art combines a surreal style with precise, recognizable imagery… This dizzying novel’s ending perfectly encapsulates its gleeful chaos.”
A smart, good-natured story that embraces the outlandish.”
