Ready for Raptus
This weekend Aksel, Seth and I are off to Bergen for the Raptus International Comics Festival, along with brand new Anakata artist Anna Bruce.
Stop by our table for a chat or some shopping; we will be selling Wakan Unwanted and the Moebius strip print version of The Time I Went Looking for the Buddha, as well as some cool merchandise.
But the most important reason to spend some time at the Anakata table: We want you – yes, you – to rise to the comic jam challenge! Improvise a three-panel comic in five minutes and prove to the world that you are the next Don Rosa!
Look forward to seeing you in the rainy city!

Comic Jams OCX2010
Even though there has been quite a while since OCX2010, we have not forgotten about all the great contributions that were submitted to our stand. Finally – they are all uploaded to the comic jam section. If you missed this event at OCX you have a whole new opportunity at Raptus Comics festival from september 10th to the 12th. You may also buy our comics there, or just chat with one of the cheerful chaps of anakata comics.
Enjoy!

OCX comic jams
During OCX 2010 we arranged our first public Comic Jam session. Comic Jam is a concept where you get an assignment and 5 minutes to a draw a small three panel comic. This concept attracted quite a few people – around 60 contributions were delivered at our stand. We want to share our favorite comics here at the site, so stay tuned. The first one is from Becky Cloonan, one great artist and one of the main attractions at the expo this year.

OCX reigns supreme
This year’s Oslo Comics Expo is over, and we had the best time ever. Big thanks to all, especially the OCX crew and the 50+ beautiful and talented people who rose to the Anakata comic jam challenge! We will post your strips as soon as our scanners allow.
But that is not the only reason to keep watching this space. New projects and developments are in the works, and we will soon be making some cool announcements. Unless WikiLeaks beats us to it.
