Sierra Barnes' studio at Alexandria's Torpedo Factory

Sierra Barnes's studio at Old Town Alexandria's Torpedo Factory is the first for a graphic novelist in the historic building turned artist colony.

Sierra is continuing to work on her webcomic Hans Vogel is Dead, which is being published by Dark Horse Comics. When I stopped in last weekend, she let me take a few photos in spite of any signs you might notice around the studio.

Sierra is building airplane models for the first time to help her with her World War II comic's art...

...while copies of Hans Vogel Is Dead vol. 1 are for sale in the studio...

...she's also making her own paper...

...and selling comics anthologies (she has a story in each), jewelry, paintings, prints, minicomics, original art, griffins...

(that cicada in the center is gone. sorry)

...while working on a new comic book, debuting at SPX, called Unicorn Hunt, and based on the cold, hard truths of medieval life and tapestries.

She's at the studio most weekends, saying, "My hours are usually Thurs-Mon 10-6 unless there's a convention that weekend; if there are changes to the schedule they're posted on the door." Stop in, and chat, and then buy something!

Nature, Other Themes Abound in Fall Church Arts' All Member Show [fine art]

"While artworks in the Western tradition often draw from classical mythology and classic literature, in the M-Z Member Show, the narrative references are often to comics. Watch Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder swing into action in Jennifer Murphy's "Pieces of the Dynamic Duo!" She has assembled and left, at times, unassembled pieces of a jigsaw puzzle image of an early Batman comic book on a traditional canvas. On the more genteel side of comics, Todd Schvaneveldt offers us an eponymous acrylic based on the 1950's French comic "Mireille," presenting fashion stylistics from the era in which this comic book first appeared. Nine Wells Prystay also taps into an agreeable comic-art style in her acrylic/pen/mohair "Nina Beside Herself.""
