One of the few art supply companies catering to the comic book market is actually headquartered here in Kentucky!
Blue Line Pro has been making comic art boards and selling specialized art supplies for more than 15 years now. They are also the publisher of one of the top How To magazines targeted to comic creators:
Sketch Magazine.
Their home base is located in Florence, KY where they share their building with a comic store -
Comics2Games. 
This
Saturday, March 8th, Blue Line Pro and Comic2Games are hosting a
Sketch Card Gallery Show and American Cancer Society Benefit Auction. The Show starts at 10am and runs till 5pm. There will be artist appearances running from 5 -8pm (see the Comic2Cards website for who might be there). The online auction will start at 5pm and run for one week on E-bay. Here is the link to the store's page about this event, with complete information and directions to the store:
http://www.comics2cars.com/sketchcardshow.htm Let's support all the creators participating in this worthy event by making a strong presence at this Saturday's show and auction. Post a comment here or send an email if you are interested in attending, have more questions or want to inquire about ride sharing from the Lexington area.
This mention is long overdue for work of two local friends: Sketch Magazine (Blue Line Pro, the publisher of Sketch, is located in Northern KY) and comicrelated.com (Chuck Moore has made his fellow CCG members proud with the ongoing successes in the comic news biz).
