Out of Picture 2 has been out for a couple weeks now, and a few reviews have popped up. While the book’s not everyone’s cup of tea, it has definitely struck a chord with some people…

“Here’s a cop-out for you:  in many, many places in this collection the art is so jaw-droppingly beautiful that a critical evaluation of the stories becomes difficult. Sorry.  It’s just that I get so dazzled looking through this book that I sometimes forget to turn the pages in the right direction, or find myself experiencing “lost time.”  It’s that stunning.” - Peter Gutiérrez, Firefox News

“This could be the best graphic story anthology of the year.” - Leroy Douresseaux, the Comic Book Bin

And one last review from Steve Duin of The Oregonian who discovered us at MoCCA.


Peter Nguyen (outside the Puck Buildng before MoCCA) just can’t keep his thoughts to himself.

The first heat wave of the summer didn’t keep the crowds away at MoCCA Fest 2008 (although it did make a fire alarm and evacuation of several hundred people from the Puck Building very uncomfortable). A lot of people grabbed copies of the just-released OOP 2, and we had a fantastic time meeting fans of the book and signing their copies.

We really want to extend our thanks to everyone who came out and picked up a copy, as well as everyone who lugged the copy they already owned to MoCCA for us to sign! These books aren’t light!

Thanks for pulling the poster together, Nash!

Here’s Jason Sadler about to torpedo Willie Real’s plane. And no, that’s not a double entendre.

San Diego’s not that far off! See you there!

Come down to the MoCCA Art Festival this weekend and take in one of New York’s best comic and art fests. Out of Picture 2 will be making its debut there, and a bunch of our east coast crew will be there to sign books both Saturday and Sunday. The details are here for my favorite comic fest.

Come by our table (B20) and say hi!

The day has finally arrived! OOP 2 is available today at bookstores and on Amazon.com.Just wanted to share a few tidbits from the book itself that many people haven’t had the chance to see yet…

While Dan Lopez wasn’t able to contribute a story for OOP 2, he gave us a BEAUTIFUL image to use for our table of contents. Click below for the larger version and you can also see the entire lineup of stories for the book.

This is the cover for the development gallery - it’s a meaty section. In fact, this entire volume is a lot thicker than the last one. By almost sixty pages!

Robert Mackenzie was also not able to do a story of OOP 2, but instead did caricatures of everyone in the book! We weren’t able to get a group photo together this time, but this is even better. He really nailed everyone. If you’re ever in the crosshairs of Mackenzie’s pen - duck!
