Hey, guys! It’s been a while, I know, but I just got internet back at my place! It’s been down for a bit, but we got it up and going again. So many things, I can share with you! But let’s try to keep it simple.

TCAF 2009 POST-REPORT!

Amazing. Almost perfect, even! It was such a great event, and the list of people there was mind-boggling. Highlights from the trip include:

  • Meeting Scott McCloud, who actually liked my gift-art and mini-comic I had for him.
  • Being able to give every artist I made gift-art for their cards and making other comicists laugh in enjoyment from the artwork (i.e. Ryan North, Kate Beaton, Scott Campbell).
  • Having two friends go in knowing little about the event later wanting more after the exhibition was done.
  • Buying North World Vol 2: The Epic of Conrad and the Scott Pilgrim “Toronto” t-shirt, which is awesome!
  • Giving out more than 20 copies of my mini-comic.
  • Being able to see the Toronto Reference Library for the first time, and feeling proud to be in a country with a library that has such respect for graphic novels.

There are few gripes I have about the event, though:

  • Seeing a re-enactment of the Reference Library fight scene in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World
  • Not having time to go to the pre- or post-events, save for the opening gallery at the Harbourfront Centre.
  • More comicists to say hello to at event which did not attend

Other than that, it was stellar! See you guys again in 2011!

Keep an eye out for updates on my artblog, by the way! I’ve posted up images of the gift-art cards I gave to the comic creators I met at TCAF; all 19 of them. I, uh…kinda lost a lot of sleep doing them. Heh.

And there’s still my mini-comic, how to live, that you can check out if you haven’t yet. Funny story about that comic, by the way. It took about a week and a half after it was done until one person noticed Annie’s engagement ring is on the wrong finger! I found it kinda funny, considering I’ve poked at engagement-ring tradition before in Impression, but this time I did it by accident. I’m probably not going to fix it; it’s funny it’s like that, but the comic still works with it there.

And that’s it for me! Stay tuned for more updates this summer from me!
