TCAF. What?

Greetings and salutations.

Last week was an insane one. I was awake for a good part of it. seriously. Tuesday morning til now, which is sunday night I've been awake. Naps don't count, son!

Basically every current gig, whether it be writing or art had a deadline in the past 7 days. For reals, it was insane. I am alive and by friday night I had completed all the deadlines. This was a good thing as it the Toronto Comic Arts Festival was going down all weekend. It's definitely one of the best comic shows on the planet, and it was a pleasure being a part of the TXcomics experience.

We had a gallery/merch table/print on demand setup which I must say was a first for a comic convention. And I've been doing the comic show circuit for over 10 years. History in the making.

I need to shout out my buddy Nick's book KENK. First of all it looks AMAZING. Also, it graced the cover of NOW Magazine, which is one of the biggest Toronto weeklies.

Um. The show was great. It was even better to see old friends and just chill with everyone.

I worked my ass off and designed a 48 page art/sketch book in ONE NIGHT. On the whole it probably took me about 6 hours to gather it all together and send the PDF off to the printers. It looks great. Nuff respect to Guerilla Printing for their incredible job.

The book features about 20 pages of comics, most of which are available in various locations online, but I did grab my fave strips from Kissing Chaos 'Til I die and crammed them in there. There are also a ton of drawings and a few paintings collected in the book. So if you did my art, perhaps you should mosey on over to the TXcomics store and get yourself a copy. It'll be on sale there soon.

Here is a snap of the cover.

And of course I failed by not taking any pics at TCAF. But I am crazy inspired to create. So, let's get to it!
