Gallery Nucleus

Hard Ei8ht vol. 1 is now available at Gallery Nucleus in Alhambra! So while you're there checking out the amazing 3 Flowers & 3 Trees exhibit (and I highly suggest you do), make sure to pick up a copy of Hard Ei8ht.
Here's a little more info about Gallery Nucleus from their website:

Nucleus is a gathering place for the art loving community. It 's a place that wishes to spark innovation and awareness of the current artistic culture and movement. Our manifesto is to inspire new ideas, gain exposure, create relationships and obtain interesting products. The purpose of our conception is to support and promote upcoming artists to have an obvious dedication and quality to their craft. Through our gallery space, retail space, and products, we act as a platform to help people to excel in their goals as an artist and expose them to the general public and art collectors alike. Nucleus carries a variety of art books, zines, underground comics, collectables, and a healthy selection of artist designed products. Located in Alhambra California, we cater to a much wider and general demographic of people, thus not limiting ourselves to just collectors or art districts but truly appealing to the general public

More Frenchies!!

Most people who know me know that I'm virtually on the nuts of anything related in any way to French comic book artists, which is why I'm again making a french-related post and sharing with you the news that Erich shared with me (which was in turn shared to him by Hard 8 Vol. 2 contributor, and french illustrator, David Barkmann). David sent a quick message to let us know that artists Gomes, Komorowski, and Tiburce Oger (a "real star in France") have all signed on to contribute artwork to Hard 8 Vol. 2! Add that to writer Phil' Chanoinat, and that's more Frenchies in one stupendous volume of Hard 8 than Hard 8 himself could could count on one stubby hand! Let's celebrate with some crepes!
