Public appearances for the next 6 months
Was recently contacted a few times about it, thought I’d post an update on it broadly. I wish I had a spare body to run from a duplexed brain, but no luck. So MOSTLY I’ll not be going to things this year.
One notable exception: I’ll be helping to launch the new graphic novel collection at the Prince Edward County Public Library at the Picton Branch! Something old friends are behind that I like! Been to Picton and surrounding region before, have fond memories. Since then a few of my old Montreal Comix Jam cohorts have moved there, started a local jam. The talented Niall Eccles donated what i’m sure was an impressive personal collection to seed the new dept, i’m going to embarrass him with praise, talk up our medium, hang out with some of the old gang and make some new friends for the launch. Looking forward to it. Thanks to Susanne Larner for putting me up while in town and Liz Zylstra for arranging everything.
I’m not attending the upcoming Fan Expo in Toronto.
Which is mostly too bad because I was nominated for a 2013 Joe Shuster Award in the Webcomics Creator category! I hear the winners have been chosen, the big night is Saturday, August 24, 2013 at 8:30 PM. JACKMAN HALL, at the Art Gallery of Ontario, 317 Dundas Street West, Toronto.
Ideally I’d go but busy with Dracula and the slightly delayed revolver.
I’m skipping the Montreal Comic Con this year too. Though I’ll be around for hanging out with friends in town that want to. Be glad to hook up for drinks and yakking after the show! Usually the best part anyway. Or lunch maybe? Food tips/suggestion: One of my favourite places for dumplings and noodles is the Noodle Factory around the corner from the show. Better than it might sound. Excellent affordable food, takeout or sit down. Be lovely to join you for noms there. Walking instructions, take the rout on Rue de la Gauchetière Ouest for the nicest view, or walk the length of the convention center inside to the other end of the Metro station if it’s raining.
Also not tabling at Expozine this year. I usually try to make a point of going to it, only missed a few. This year I’ll be teaching a Drawing class weekends at Syn Studio downtown at the same time! Which I’m pretty happy about but will clash with the show. I many be free to go check it out for a bit in the mornings or hang out again after work maybe? So that’s all good. But hey if any of my local comics and arts friends feel like presenting other people’s books or prints at their table I can provide a few reliable sellers and try to send folks your way. Let me know and we can work out something mutually beneficial.
