Upcoming Important Dates






Hello again friends!  I hope you are having a good spring.  I wanted to let you know a couple upcoming dates for Sparkplug.

May 17th - This is the last day to place any online orders, including wholesale orders.  Marc Arsenault is picking up the books from me the weekend of Linework.  I'll be taking the shop part of the site down after this.

May 22nd - Sparkplug will be tabling at Linework NW with the amazing Suzette Smith (artist behind Ce/Ze).

June 11th & 12th - Sparkplug will be tabling at CAKE in Chicago, with Suzette Smith.  This is the last show I'll be doing as Sparkplug!

It would be really wonderful if you wanted to show your support in these last weeks by purchasing some of our books, either online or at one of these conventions.  I still have bills and other expenses to cover for Sparkplug, as well as making sure my artists get paid.   We have a lot of books on sale as well as regular priced titles.  I also appreciate any reblogs of this announcement!

Thank you!
-Virginia
