Hey guys! Ananth and I are gonna be at Toronto Comics Arts Festival this weekend! We’re gonna be tabling with Benign Kingdom somewhere in the the cluster of 218-221 up on the second floor.
This is honestly, genuinely, our favorite show. Hopefully we will see you there!
I’ll be in Toronto, one of my absolute favorite cities, this weekend for the Toronto Comic Arts Festival. I’ll have both of my brand new books with me - CRYING IN FRONT OF YOUR DOG AND OTHER STORIES and my BENIGN KINGDOM art book. I’ll mostly be hanging out at the Grimaklin Press booth (table 103) but will also be signing at the Benign Kingdom booth from time to time (tables 218 - 221).
I’m also doing a couple of drawing events at TCAF! Here’s the info from the festival’s website:
Making Faces - For kids on Saturday from 10:30 - 11:15am in the Novella Room in the Toronto Reference Library.
Join children’s illustrator David Huyck (That One Spooky Night) and Mad Magazine cartoonist Phil McAndrew on how to make a face that sticks. Learn how to show emotions through facial expressions and body posture — make your characters pop off the page! What do the eyebrows say? And why the heck are the eyebrows talking in the first place?
Live Drawing… 2! - on Sunday from 4:00 – 5:00pm at The Pilot Tavern (2nd floor).
Four creators enter, one creator leaves! Come watch four artists draw for their lives – and for your entertainment. Winners will feast on the souls of the losers (vegetarian option available). Featuring Phil McAndrew, Lucy Knisley, Jim Rugg, and Scott C.!
I hope to see you in Toronto!
It’s almost TCAF! I’ll be at table 109 with a bunch of Cucumber Quest books, this print, and these pins. My good friend charmwitch will be helping me run the table, and she’ll have promo stuff for her webcomic, Solstoria. Please stop by and say hi to us!
Also, the Benign Kingdom folks up at tables 218-221 will have loads of lovely art books, including mine for spring 2013. Please stop by and say hi to them!
