I forgot to post a follow-up after The G33k Art Show last December. Anywho – here are a series of pics from the event from SNAP K/W. In short, the show was a success. Other than Emiko’s Mini-Convention (which I didn’t even know existed until the week before the show), there really isn’t a Comics/Alternative Arts event in the K-W Region, so it was nice to take part in this one. It was great meeting new people and fans, and seeing my family there was a bonus (thanks Smolas!). :D

Back to work…

Basically, it’s a showcase that features sequential artists, illustrators, craftsmen of the sci-fi/fantasy/steampunk/alternative genres, musicians and even culinary artists. For those interested, applications are now available for download on Miroki’s website Jacques of Trades. Mark it on your calendars – the show will take place from December 16th-18th at The Kaufman Arts Studio.

And of course, yours truly will be there… ;)

Thank you to those who came by, browsed through my art, chatted, took my business card, and bought Cadaverific! Also, issues 2 and 3 are available at the Silver Snail in Toronto.

Also, thank you to my table mates of three years —> friends Miroki Tong, Matthew Ingraham, and Kat Taylor. I always have fun with you all! …Remember that time when we went out for dim sum? :D

Alrighty, going to bed (at 8:40 pm?..Lame!)…nighty night. Zzzzzzzzz…..

This year I have issues #2 and #3 in print (Issue #1 will be available again), and I’ll have some art prints too. Also, the event is four days this year, from the 25th (Thursday) til the 28th (Sunday). If you’re in the area, come on out and say hi! :) And, while you’re there, check out Matthew Ingraham’s and Miroki Tong’s art works/comic books too. Matt will be debuting Robot Jones Issue #1, and it looks pretty awesome. Just so you know… ***UPDATE: I’ll be at table A53-A55.***

Oh, I’ll be gradually tweaking the site during the month/when I have time to do so (e.g. the “Portfolio” gallery is a bit messed up – for now you can get the full image in the “flickr” link). Otherwise, I hope you like the changes so far.

Cheerio and all that.

This time, the event has been extended to 4 days (August 25th-28th). Mark it on your calendars! Working on cover ideas for issue #2.  ^_^

In other news, I hope to get a new monitor this week (I think I mistakenly posted on my blog blog that the LED backlight burned out on my laptop – it was actually an LCD light). ALSO, completely random – but I was at a food convention last week in Toronto (SIAL), and it was quite the experience. Different product(s), but not so much different from a comic con. Definitely gave me a different perspective on the convention experience.

Happy Monday, and hope you all have a good week. Cheers!

It may be one of the few comic books that may not get you into trouble if you were caught reading it in school by your English teacher – the characters even speak in Shakespearian dialect. I also do some colour flatting work for Andy B./Ian Herring (you can read more about it on my blog blog :D ).

You can find Kill Shakespeare in comic book stores everywhere (**UPDATE: The first trade paperback volume is out now too!).

Got back home late last night from the Con. Thanks to everyone who came out, stopped at our table, and supported us. In the end of it all, I only have ONE COPY left of Cadaverific Issue #1! Another printing will soon follow.

Thanks again, and hope to see you again next year!

So far, these books I’ve ordered are the only ones that are in print right now, in time the books will be available online at comixpress.com. I also hope to get the books into other places like the local comic book shop, or amazon sometime soon too. Yes, I’m dreaming big…

The comics will be sold for $2.00.
