Home again home again, jiggidy jig
Back from my trip; whirl wind
through Gatineau
Toronto & Windsor.
 The 9th Rendez-vous international de la BD was lovely, Paul and friends go out of their way to make the guests feel welcomed. Also met some very cool people, made a few new friends. I've posted photos from the trip here.
 In Toronto I got some work done , roughs for Work, and started on a new Bread and Butter project that's proving to be off to a fun start. Will talk more about that later but for now you can see the art here>>.
I had a short interview with Dalson Chen of The Windsor Star, that ran the week before BookFest Windsor here. Came out well I think. Made me laugh when he asked about graphic novels, there was a national post article just before on the same theme that made me roll my eyes.
 BookFest Windsor was a pleasure for the most part, including the funny social drama around the final night's party, but I'm getting the impression this goes with the small book festival circuit a bit. Booze + Writers and Poets + Travel? :)
I have a few photos and stuff to post from that shortly.
Also spent a great and somewhat inebriated Halloween with my old friend George, roaming about the town checking out costumes and snapping shots. I made a bit of a video of that here.

Attending Book Festivals in Gatineau & Windsor
Hey, how was the Turkey?....
So later this month I'll be on the road again, seems like i've been doing that a lot, and i won't be even as much as half what i had planed to in the spring! Man, doing support touring for a book is crazy, or maybe I'm getting old. - Nawwwww......
 From the 23rd to the 26th of October, I'll be hanging around the Canadian Museum of Civilization - O_o
...attending the
9th Rendez-vous
international
de la BD
de Gatineau!
I'll be joined there by 9 other creators, some of who's stuff is eye popping! ; Philippe Aymond, Johanna, Daniel Bosshart, Thierry Coppee, Delaf & Dubuc, Michel Falardeau, Sandra Breault, and Craig A. Taillefer, who i have to thank for getting invited!
The Program and other details are here, in french, and posted here on Sequential in English.

They have me booked for something called 'Masters at Work' 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm on Thursday.
And from 11 to 11:30 am for 'Live illustration with Salgood Sam' on Saturday. Basically in both cases it looks like they want me to draw live in front of people! Going to be needing the antiperspirants there. All of that's @ the main venue, The Canadian Museum of Civilization - Level 2 / Foyer of the Museaum's Theatre [100 Laurier Street]
Looking forward to this. Hope the live show goes well, and if nothing else, getting to spend whatever spare time i have checking out the Museum will be cool!
After that i get on a train - have a few days to kill in Toronto - then I'm booked to attend...
[across the river from Detroit]
Where I'll be spending some time with an old buddy of mine, George Rizok, one of the lifers' at Rogues Gallery and resident loon on The Comic Book Syndicate [YouTube page].
Saturday at 1pm till 3pm I'll be on a panel discussion:
It's a Bird, it's a Plane, it's a Book!
....ok, corny name i know, but i promise to do my part to make sure it's interesting! We'll be in the Studio Room, with Mary-Lou Gelissen, Tony Gray, & George!
I'll also be available for signings and stuff, in the main space of the book festival with the other authors, and Friday I'll be at the Rogues Gallery comic shop as well from 6pm on.
Going to bring some recent art with me, which I'll be selling maybe but probably not on sight, at least not in Gatineau anyway - but you'll be able to look at it and arrange for something if you seem something you like.
Believe books at both events will be supplied, for sure Therefore Repent! will be on hand, and I'll be making up a batch of RevolveR One's for the occasion, maybe a little something else too, just for the trip!
Also, Expozine has JUST been announced, going to go over to the site now and register, so see you THERE too!Labels: appearances, book fairs, comic conventions, Expozine, Gatineau, News, revolver, Therefore Repent
