TCAF was AMAZING 1:30 PM

You gotta give it to the Canadians! When they throw a small press and alt-comic festival they pull no punches, no. you're right. they would never throw a punch far too polite to ever do such a thing (other than in a hockey rink, which, all bets are off). Aside of the heat- yep. You read correctly. Other than the heat the festival was fantastic!

In that post-festival haze of slowly starting to get back to work. slowly.

Above is my loving homage to Xaime Hernandez and Love & Rockets! from my latest comic booklet- "Kittens" a self-titled album which debuted at TCAF!

Post TCAF recovery period 3:59 PM

TCAF was awesome. I'm so glad that I was able to exhibit! It was great fun to go to Toronto with my studio mates- Aya Kakeda, Tory Sica, and Jen Tong (Thanks to Jen's friend Irme for hooking us up with a spectacular hotel) The show itself was one of the best I have ever been to and I'll do my best to get back there next year!

I'm almost out of the post-fest exhaustion pit, enough so to design my next silkscreen print as pictured above! title is "Harpy" I should have it for sale at SPX!

Next Fest? Grand Street comics fest in June! see you there!

TCAF and adventures in Risograph 8:44 AM

In Toronto for the Toronto Comic Arts Festival, which is great and exactly like what I'd imagine an alternative universe to be like. It looks a lot like home, people speak the same language, dress is similar fashion, interact, if not maybe a bit too politely, like they do at home, but like any good alternate universe- things- some big, some seemingly insignificant are different enough to throw things askew.

This is no doubt has been enhanced by the fact that I drove almost 12 hours from New York yesterday.

As for the Risograph- which is a machine that my studiomates and I purchased for the soul purpose of frustration and making small-batch comics has excelled at exactly that. We've printed our first book "El Gato de la Muetre" and that will be debuted at TCAF tomorrow which is free to attend so you have no reason other than maybe... maybe

Got into to TCAF! 1:26 PM

You heard that right. I was selected to exhibit at the Toronto Comic Arts Festival! From what I understand it is relatively difficult to get into and is supposed to be a fantastic festival so I am really excited to be able to exhibit!

I'm not going alone either. Two of my studio mates also got in. Aya Kakeda and Jen Tong- half of our studio will be exhibiting! cooler beans.

I'll be debuting all sorts of new stuff including my ongoing and ever-expanding tropes into silkscreen printing! The image was one of the last things I printed before the labs shut for the break.

Cheers
