PULP ARK NEEDS ART AND STUFF!!!
Tommy Hancock, Coordinator of Pulp Ark, the new Convention/Creators’ Conference being held May 13-15, 2011 in Batesville, AR, stated today that although things are coming together quite nicely, there are still a couple of areas the Pulp Community, particularly creators and publishers, could help out with.
“Pulp Ark,” Hancock said, “is growing every day and will be a great show and a fantastic first effort.  We do have a couple of things, though, that we’re still trying to pull together.  We announced a while back that the local art gallery wanted to host a Pulp Art Show during Pulp Ark and they still desperately want to do that.  I am meeting with them today as a matter of fact.  My problem is, except for pieces from Pro Se’s work (Hancock is Editor in Chief of Pro Se Productions), we don’t have any artists who have committed to have works in the gallery!  This is a great opportunity and definitely something Batesville has never seen.  And we are planning to have an auction on Saturday night wherein if an artist wants to sell a piece in the gallery, they can and 80% of what is made goes directly back to them, in their pockets.  Of course, if an artist just wants to display his/her work and not sell it, that’s fine, too.  The focus is the gallery showing, not the auction.”
“Also,” Hancock continued, “Pulp Ark put the call out a few weeks ago for goodies, stuff that creators and publishers might have that they would consider donating for fan bags to be given to the first however many fans come through the door.  Although we’ve had a couple say they would contribute, we could use several more.  This could be postcards, pens, pins, whatever, just something to give to the fans that they will for sure enjoy and leave with.”
Any artists interested in participating in the Gallery showing and/or any publishers or creators interested in contributing to the Pulp Ark Fan Bags, can email Hancock at proseproductions@earthlink.net for further details.

PULP ARK AWARD DESIGN ANNOUNCED
In anticipation of the approaching announcement on March 1, 2011, of the winners of the 2011 Pulp Ark Awards, the first ever given from this new convention/conference for pulp creators and fans, Tommy Hancock, Pulp Ark Coordinator announced the planned design for the ten awards to be given Saturday, May 14, 2011 at the event.
“Each award is a wooden plaque,” Hancock reported.  “8 X 10 with the outline of the state of Arkansas laser engraved into it.  Within the state’s outline will be the PULP ARK name and year and the award and the recipient’s name, also laser engraved.  I designed the award and local business owners Ron and Toy Siler of Southern Charm, a trophy and awards store in Batesville, will produce them.  Mark Herrington, a supporter of pulp creators and a local businessman in the area, is covering the costs of the awards.”
Hancock stated that the winners of the Pulp Ark awards would be announced the morning of March 1, 2011.  Voting for all qualified voters ends at 11:59 PM, February 28, 2011.
