TUMBLE CREEK PRESS announced this past weekend at the Animé Los Angeles V Convention that it will be publishing its first manga series. “Escape! To Outer Space” is a comedic-leaning, scifi tale about what happens when humanity solves most of its problems. TUMBLE CREEK PRESS began teasing the series at Comic-Con International last summer.
Animé L.A. V attendees were the first to see new artwork for “Escape!” and hear more about its direction from series creator Dani Dixon, who was a guest speaker at the Con. Dixon also got a jump on filling out the series’ staff by reviewing portfolios of the numerous manga artists present.
"Escape!" will be released later this year.

The Animé Los Angeles (ALA) Convention, currently in its fifth year, begins today, Friday January 2nd and runs through Sunday, January 4th. Comic book creator Dani Dixon (“13,” “Escape! To Outer Space”) spoke at Animé L.A.’s 2008 convention shortly after the debut of her series “13.” A year later, programmers invited Dixon back to make two appearances at the 2009 convention.
On Saturday morning Dixon will discuss with new artists the steps involved in creating that first professional portfolio. The session on Saturday (January 2nd at 9:30AM) is open to all convention attendees and is meant to be more of an interactive panel, rather than a lecture. Artists will be encouraged to ask questions along the way to enable them to put their best foots forward in future endeavors.
Artists will then be given a full day to apply the lessons learned. On Sunday morning (January 4th at 10:00AM) Dixon will give all the portfolios presented professional reviews, some may even be considered for current open assignments at TUMBLE CREEK PRESS. Dixon will also be available for autographs at that time.

TUMBLE CREEK PRESS Announces Manga Series
Escape! To Outer Space
Escape! To Outer Space

TUMBLE CREEK PRESS announced this past weekend at the Animé Los Angeles V Convention that it will be publishing its first manga series. “Escape! To Outer Space” is a comedic-leaning, scifi tale about what happens when humanity solves most of its problems. TUMBLE CREEK PRESS began teasing the series at Comic-Con International last summer.
Animé L.A. V attendees were the first to see new artwork for “Escape!” and hear more about its direction from series creator Dani Dixon, who was a guest speaker at the Con. Dixon also got a jump on filling out the series’ staff by reviewing portfolios of the numerous manga artists present.
"Escape!" will be released later this year.

Going Pro: Preparing an Artist Portfolio
WHAT: Comic book creator and publisher Dani Dixon will be a guest speaker at Animé Los Angeles. Dixon will host a panel entitled “Going Pro: Preparing an Artist Portfolio.”
WHO: Dani Dixon Creator & Writer, “13,” “Escape! To Outer Space”
President, TUMBLE CREEK PRESS
WHERE: Animé Los Angeles
Los Angeles Airport Marriott
5855 West Century Boulevard
Los Angeles, CA 90045
WHEN: Saturday, January 3, 2009 @ 9:30 AM (Panel)
Sunday, January 4, 2009 @ 10:00 AM (Portfolio Reviews & Autographs)
The Animé Los Angeles (ALA) Convention, currently in its fifth year, begins today, Friday January 2nd and runs through Sunday, January 4th. Comic book creator Dani Dixon (“13,” “Escape! To Outer Space”) spoke at Animé L.A.’s 2008 convention shortly after the debut of her series “13.” A year later, programmers invited Dixon back to make two appearances at the 2009 convention.
On Saturday morning Dixon will discuss with new artists the steps involved in creating that first professional portfolio. The session on Saturday (January 2nd at 9:30AM) is open to all convention attendees and is meant to be more of an interactive panel, rather than a lecture. Artists will be encouraged to ask questions along the way to enable them to put their best foots forward in future endeavors.
Artists will then be given a full day to apply the lessons learned. On Sunday morning (January 4th at 10:00AM) Dixon will give all the portfolios presented professional reviews, some may even be considered for current open assignments at TUMBLE CREEK PRESS. Dixon will also be available for autographs at that time.
