Hello and welcome to a brand new addition to the Bart Sears Art website - Jay's Bart Sears Blog, run by me, Jay Penn.
Some of you may be aware that I very briefly (like, 2 days) had a MySpace Blog dedicated to Bart Sears. Well, through discussions with good friend Darrin Wiltshire, who runs this whole site with Bart, we decided it was best to put the Blog on this very site.
Bart, Darrin and myself have been discussing the possibility of doing many things with a website for a while now, and I always thought there was room for something like this. Something that would keep fans up to date with what Bart is doing, but also a place where I could run free, writing articles, hold contests and so much more.
This will also, more than likely, be the place where I re-launch the Bart Sears Fan Club, which went into hiatus a few years ago. The Fan Club will be vastly different from its original incarnation, with Newsletters being posted on this Blog, rather than printed up; which was costing me too much money and time. This way, there can be colour images, and more room to breathe.
This Blog will also be the place where the subtle nuances of my favourite subject, Ominous Press, can be discussed in full. In my mind, there just isn’t enough space put aside on the Internet, or anywhere else, dedicated to Ominous Press, so I really want to address that issue. I’ll be doing this with many different tools. There will be character biographies, art discussions and reviews, contests and whatever else I can come up with. So put on your OP boots, it’s an Ominous Dawn!
