Pablo — Tue, 15 May 2012 10:55:15 +0000

Art-O-Con was a lot of fun and the turnout was quite good for a first time event like ours. We all had the best time interacting with all of our guests and artists. We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who participated; you helped make this event one filled with creativity and talent! We are already in the beginning stages of looking for a bigger venue for 2013 so keep your ears to the ground. we are thrilled to be able to give back to the indie art community in Burlington and hope that everyone who came had a great time too.

Thank you to Ralf Vandermeulen for the top pic!

JDS talks to students about turning art into profit

Pablo — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 17:10:55 +0000

We just finished a short talk with graduating students at Max the Mutt Animation School. While there we discussed the importance of networking and finding the right market to sell your artwork. We wanted thank Kent again for inviting us and we hope that we helped lend a positive light to all the hard work these students will face upon graduation. It was a great experience for us and we enjoyed ourselves wholeheartedly.

The year of the Dragon begins!

Convention and sale

2011 was an amazing year for JDS but 2012 is setting out to outdo it already! We are hosting our own event and it has been named Art-O-Con. We have already signed on over twenty artists/vendors and are adding more as I type this! Also we have booked awesome guests for photo ops and to entertain the kids! Members of the 501st Legion will be there in full costume. The Ontario Ghostbusters will be present too and in full gear. A real live Dalek will be roaming the show looking for humans to EXTERMINATE!!

It is quickly shaping up to be an exciting event that we hope to turn into an annual thing. Click on the thumbnails below to view full-colour promotional posters we have created to see more info:

Revealed at Fan Expo was the second installment of our mini-comic series; Zombies vs Schoolgirls. Part II revealed a little bit more about the zombies and tells of the epic battle and it’s aftermath. Fans of the first mini issue are sure to love the second.

We sold out of all our mini-comics but now part II is available in our site alongside part I!

Fan Expo was Amazing; Beware of Frog sold out!!

Pablo — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 20:57:33 +0000

Fan Expo a huge success.

WOW! After four days of hard work and endless talking we have returned home with significantly less stock and even less of our voices. It was great meeting so many cool and interesting people from all parts of the industry! We were amazed at how many return customers we had from previous years. Thank you to everyone who helped make this the best Fan Expo yet!

Lara has finally finished the monumentous task of wading through our vast collection of photos to post them on our Facebook page. Hopefully you are in there! Please go forth and tag yourself and your friends so that everyone knows they are true fans!

Beware of Frog sold out.

Just as exciting was the sale of our final book! The first printing of Beware of Frog is now officially gone. Every copy we printed has found a home to love it. We are overjoyed! It took three weeks to sell 100 copies. This exceeded even our highest expectations! We are now arranging for a second printing and hope to have more copies available by October. For those of you who have pre-ordered be patient the Frog is coming!

Thank you again to everyone, your support has been astounding and as always greatly appreciated.

Book Launch a huge success.

PS:) Lara has finally been able to commit herself fulltime to the business of JDS productions. She will be leaving her day job at the end of this month and will now be able to devote her time to her family and her art. We are very excited about this!

Big on Bloor a Success!

Melevator — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 00:38:17 +0000

Whew! Despite some pretty extreme weather this past weekend, including a heatwave and a freak thunderstorm, Jaded Dragon Studios is happy to say that the Big on Bloor festival was a great experience. There was an awesome variety in products displayed by all those who participated, and JDS felt right at home with all the other talented artisans. We really enjoyed chatting with other vendors and wanderers throughout the day, and felt that the overall experience was worth the time and effort (and the crazy weather). We want to thank everyone who came out and said hi, you made our day at Big on Bloor so awesome!

Stay tuned for more info about FanExpo and some of the other exciting projects JDS is thrilled to be working on!

Beware of Frog

Pablo — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 16:25:20 +0000

After years in production, Jaded Dragon Studios is very excited to announce it’s first publication, BEWARE OF FROG! All of those close to us know that the road has been long indeed but finally the day has arrived!

Beware of Frog is a fully illustrated and brightly coloured graphic novel geared towards 5 to 12 year olds. Professionally bound and printed, Beware of Frog would be a great addition to the reading repertoire of any boy or girl with a love for adventure stories! Beware of Frog is a cautionary tale that teaches one little boy that the strange “beware of frog” sign on the old house on the end of the street might really mean what it says.

To see more samples of Beware of Frog, just click on the fly!
