Calgary Comic Expo

Calgary Expo begins today! If you're going to be at the show, you can find me at booth #1122, standing behind the massive quantity of books, shirts, art, and other Sam and Fuzzy swag that I brought along. Just scroll down to the previous newspost if you're looking for instructions on how to find our booth on the floor!

Unfortunately, in the chaos that was the wind up to the convention this weekend, I wasn't able to put together a Q and A for this week. I'll try to make it up with an extra long Q and A next week! (Although actually, I'm doing a convention that weekend as well, so maybe I am just setting you up for terrible, terrible disappointment here.)

But what there definitely will be next week is comics! Come back on Monday for a strip you won't want to miss, team.

Stop, pack, and roll

Whew... things are getting a little hectic over here as I scramble to get everything ready for this weekend's Calgary Expo! But I can do this, team. I believe in myself.

Any of you fine folks out there who are planning on attending Calgary Expo can find me at booth #1122, which I am splitting once again with my pal Alina from Weregeek. And many of my other pals from Topatoco will be there, too, in booth 920/1022, immediately across the aisle from Alina and I. I'm sure there will be a lot of objects being thrown, so keep your head low.

As usual, I will have an impressive array of books, shirts, art, and other swag in tow, and will be doing plenty of sketching and commissions. It should be a lot of fun! Here's a map that shows where our booth is, at least in relation to the main entrances. Click it for a PDF of the entire, massive showfloor. (It's big!)

Con Fever

Thank you, everyone, for a swell first Fan Expo Vancouver! It was wonderful to see so many locals turn out for the show... they're going to have to do some serious expanding next year to accommodate all of you!

It was also wonderful to see so many folks get excited about next month's Vancouver Comic Arts Festival! (Not to mention how many people were clearly already aware of the show and planning to go... awesome!) I think after a month of decompression, VanCAF will make for a satisfying indie-and-web-focused ying to Fan Expo's broader-geek-culture yang. Personally, I'm just pumped about having two new shows to go to in my hometown. (With a third, Anime Revolution, hitting this summer!)

But VanCAF is still a bit over a month away. Before that, I must continue the Canadian con trifecta begun by Fan Expo, with Calgary Comic Expo this weekend, and the Toronto Comic Arts Festival the weekend after. That's right... I actually scheduled myself to exhibit at three shows in a row. Will my psyche survive? Only one way to find out!
