Comics college

Thanks for a fun time at Camosun College, everyone responsible! The event was a really interesting hybrid between a comics festival and an academic presentation for the folks in the comics program; a kind of combination event that more comic-teaching schools should consider attempting. I have to admit, though... it's really weird to have gotten to a stage of my career where I am being brought in to serve as an example to young cartoonists. What a simultaneously flattering and terrifying thought! (Especially when you have the traditional artist inferiority complex.)

Anyhoo, that's a wrap for today. Come back on Wednesday for the next part of our story! (OR ELSE.)

Camosun College Comics event this weekend!

Apologies, Q and A fans... I was too busy getting ready for this Sunday's free comics event at Camosun College in Victoria to answer any of your questions! I will try to answer a few extra next week to make up for it. (As always, if you've got a question, just email it to me with "Q and A" in the subject line.)

And don't forget, Victoria-ites... said Camosun College comics event is free to attend and open to the public! So if you want to meet some cartoonists, hear them yammer about comics for a bit and/or snag some of their swag and original artwork, be sure to come by on Sunday and check it out!

Hats off

Any Team Fortress 2 fans in the audience might be interested in checking out the commission I recently finished. This is actually the second time I've done a TF2/Sam and Fuzzy mash-up I've been hired by a reader to draw, and the dude who nabbed it took the opportunity to switch around some of the casting from the previous version. What Sam and Fuzzy character would you assign to each TF2 class? I think we can all agree it's an intensely personal decision.

Don't forget, citizens of Victoria, BC... I'll be in town this Sunday as a guest at a free comics event at Camosun College, as will a bunch of other cool cartoonists! I'll have plenty of cool Sam and Fuzzy swag in tow, and I'll also be participating in some sort of presentation about how being a cartoonist can be a real job and everything. (Something which never ceases to astound me, even now!) It should be a lot of fun.
