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!

Just showing some love Jay!
All things Bart Sears are all things good!
I'm gonna have to dig out my Ominous collection so we can hang and I can refresh my memory on a lot of these cgreat characters.

I love his work, and Violator will ever be a favourite. Hell!: Saint Bart delivered many of the greatest pieces in the history of sequential art, period!

Jay, I'm seriously concerned for you. I can understand having a favorite artist/close friend; but simply put, I think you have a problem. Maybe not a problem so much as an obsession with Bart Sears. I'm not here to say that the guy is not great at what he does or anything. Just that the level of fandom you display seems to be an all consuming fixation with no room for other passions. I, myself, love certain artists and have more than a sizeable collection of their artwork both original and in print form. However my love for these artists and what they produce does not lead to fanciful imaginings of "winning the lottery" simply to fund someone Else's business ventures. i just hope your life is a bit more full than it comes off from your posts.
