ELFSAR BLOG

Well I am sad to say that another great store is closing.  Voltage located on 4346 Main Street is shutting its doors on September 15th, 2010.  They have been in business for aprox 6 years and they are now moving on to the next chapter of their lives.  (something I know a little about).   Retail is not an easy job by any means and takes a lot out of you.

So obviously they are liquidating their inventory which means big sales are on.  Go visit them and help them out by treating yourself or your friends to an artistic happy little friend to take home.

Hey everyone,  its been awhile.  I have been a pretty busy guy and have not had much time to post.  Between posts I have built a new art studio in North Vancouver, started inventory counts for the upcoming ELFSAR 2.0 project as it were (more on that later) oh and I went to Mexico to host a destination wedding with my family and close friends. Yes it is official the founding members of ELFSAR the Big Elf (me) and Sar (my wife) are now married. 

While I have been away, there is more news on the comic front.  This was just forwarded to me today: The Comic Shop vs Vancouver  One of the last great shops in Vancouver is being forced to move or shut down.  For the same reasons as all who closed down before it, the dreaded rent increases.

But it seems that the Comic Shop has a bit more fight left and has chosen to downsize and move to a new location 3518 W. 4th Ave (near Dunbar) only a few blocks away from its original location where it has been serving the area for over 40 years.

I understand first hand how this can be a very stressful time for them so please show them some support.  How?  Go visit them for their moving sale for the next 10 days.  info on the move and sale 

p.s. in the The Comic Shop vs Vancouver responses, it is nice to see the love for Elfsar continues even after we shutdown the Yaletown location
