...sell some books, and art i hope - planing to make prints, {well, in the end I missed all but the last half of day two and only managed to film part of that. Just can't be in two places at once. Read on to guess why, and look up to see the short Doc I made of Expozine -least got that much done.}
but also penciling WFH gig, ack! time time time. My collaborator on Therefore Repent!Jim Munroe is on a panel with Peggy Burns, Aaron Costain, and Anna Leventhal. The title is "Printed Matter or Printed Doesn't Matter?" - Moderated by Jeff Miller. Saturday, 3 p.m.
Like to make it but will have to run out from 12 to 3 to attend to some personal business. Sounds interesting, will be there if i can, record it for sequential maybe.
Ok, about to take the weekend off and head south for a few days, got some drawing to do tonight and a few errands to run, then catch a train in the am.A quick weekend trip to NY to check out MoCCA for the first time! Woohoo.
Was just at the publishers office, K2: Le dep' eclaire a des milles a la ronde is on the stands! There's also another introductory video on the site with author Sophie Bienvenu!
This is the interior BD i did for that, it printed pretty nicely i think.
Was at TCAF, the Canadian version of this, but i've wanted to go to MoCCA for a while, haven't seen the museum since the early 90's, and the festival seems to promise much! But you know at TCAF i really only got to have real fun in the evenings, the days were work. Didn't want to do too of those in a row so didn't think I'd go this year either. But then i decided i had earned a hobo's weekend.
This time it's strictly for kicks, see some freinds and look at comic books. Not sitting anywhere or have a single thing planed. Looks to be fun. May spend a lot of time in panels.
Will post stuff if i have the time, photos and such, and probably use the excuse to play reporter a little on sequential. Good way to shift from the TCAF coverage mode.
Edited by Indie Spinner Rack's Charlito and Mr. Phil! Preview
You can't keep a great indie anthology down! The boys at Indie Spinner Rack have been producing the premiere indie comics podcast for over three years, and in 2007 produced the aptly-titled AWESOME anthology. Now they're back, along with a few dozen of their friends and favorite guests... who happen to be some of the greatest cartoonists in the industry!
AWESOME 2: AWESOMER is edited by Charlito and Mr. Phil, hosts of Indie Spinner Rack, and designed once again by Eisner nominee Jon Adams. Contributors include Chris Duffy, Sarah Glidden, Fred Van Lente and Ryan Dunlavey, Jeff Lemire, Alex Robinson, J. Chris Campbell, Robert Goodin, Alex Cahill, Chris Schweizer, and MANY more -- with a cover by the legendary Jeff Smith!
What's more, half the proceeds from every book sold will go to fund a student scholarship to the Center for Cartoon Studies! What are you waiting for!? Pick up AWESOMER today! -- Softcover Graphic Novel (Anthology) with inserted mini-comic, 200 pages, 6" x 9"
Expozine has evolved into the biggest zine fair in Canada now, it's been amazing to watch; I've attended every year so far.
This year I have lots of books. Not as many copies of Therefore Repent as I'd have liked it looks like, just 10!
Ordered more but unless they show up Friday I think they got held up with thanksgiving in the US.
That kind of sucks because i can probably sell 3 times as many as I have. But what you going to do?
I will have other books though, lots of RevolveR's, a few copies of Comic Boot Tattoo, Sea of Red, old jam zines and some other older books i've done. Also going to bring a long box of old books from my personal collection, stuff i'd like to start divesting myself off. Also, i had some cool new 1" pins I had made up too, hear they come out well, going to pick them up tomorrow!
The books are above, bellow is the art from the pins! See you at the show! Drop by and say hi if you read the blogs. :)
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......
Thu 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm Fri 11:00 am to 12:30 pm & 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm Sat 10:00 am to 11:00 am & 1:30 pm to 3:30 pm Sun 11:30 am to 1:30 pm & 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm
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...
....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 Gallerycomic 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!
