I am booked and mostly packed and am heading to Toronto tomorrow morning to set up at Fan Expo Canada 2018.

I will be in Artist Alley, booth  A367, in the South building of the Metro Toronto Convention Center.

I’m hoping to arrive in Toronto and the Metro Toronto Convention Center by 1 PM so I can be set up by the time they let in the early bird ticket holders at 2PM. It’s a good five hour drive with a food break and good traffic, so it’ll be tight!

I’ll be bringing plenty of copies of Wahoo Morris Books 1 & 2 and my art book Beauties & Beasts. I’ll also have a few odds and ends like the Caliber Comics collection of Dracula, the Sleeping Dragons TPB, some original art, and I have one copy of Comic Book Tattoo left that I would love someone to take off my hands. It is heavy and I do not want to carry it home again! 🙂

And I will be doing a l limited number of sketches as well, so make sure to get on the list early if you want one!

Hope to see you there!

My supplies all packed. The guitar is staying home! 🙂

I wish I could say that I had a blast at TCAF, but alas, no.

It had nothing to do with the show itself, which I love, or the organization which is great. The new venue wasn’t as picturesque as the last one, but the location was convenient and the floor layout was better, so no complaints there. It was nice seeing colleagues and friends, and meeting new ones, which is one of the main reasons I like attending shows like TCAF.

The problem was…. I was sick as a dog.

I was recovering from a Chest Cold as the weekend loomed, but I seemed to be better by Friday. I flew in early Saturday morning and was feeling a little under the weather and spent most of the day fairly quiet, but I figured a good night’s sleep and I’d be back in the pink for Sunday. Sadly I was mistaken and I spent Sunday feeling like I was trying to breath under water, and chain-eating fishermen’s friend cough lozenges in attempt to not spend the day in one continuous coughing fit. And near the end of the day I started to get a lower stomach issue, which pretty much had me in agony all day. Well, maybe ‘agony’ is a little melodramatic, but I was not in the best shape, and I pretty much just sat there like a lump waiting for it to be over. I was not the most social person, as talking without coughing was a chore, and my salesmanship was nil.

I never even wandered the floor at any point in time to check out every one’s stuff and to buy and trade. I didn’t buy a single comic! Which tells you how sick I was as that’s my favorite part of any show.

If I managed to infect anyone, friend or fan or casual browser, I am reeeeeeaaaaaly sorry!

Hopefully I’ll be a little healthier next time!

Hey all.

I’m finally breaking my writers block and posting to the blog. It’ll be a short post, but as I’m appearing at TCAF in Toronto this upcoming weekend, I thought I should at least mention it here.

So, if you are in the neighborhood stop by and say hello. I’ll have a few copies of Comic Book Tattoo for sale as well as copies of Wahoo Morris Book 1 for sale in case you don’t have one yet.

I didn’t have any plans for any conventions this year, but I enjoyed the last TCAF too much to stay home this time around.

I’m getting ready to head out to the Museum of Civilization in Gatineau. For the next 4 days I will be a guest of the 9th Rendez-Vous International de la BD de Gatineau.

I’ll be at the Festival doing signings, live drawing presentations, and a few other events. I also have an exhibition in the gallery section. About 30 pieces of original art will be on display, so drop on by. It’s FREE.

The full press kit follows the cut.

Contrary to what the NYCC website says, I am NOT attending the show.

I attended the show last year and found it to be a bit of a waste of time for my purposes. It was much too much of a mainstream show and too expensive to justify displaying at again.

I was contacted about two months ago by the con organizers saying I was on their list for Artist Alley, and I was tossing around the idea of going while I still thought I might get the Marvel gig, but I never received an invoice and forgot about it. That is until I got an update last week showing my name in the AA listings.

I have since contacted the con and let them know I’m not coming. But, it’s too late to get my name out of the programs. So if you are looking for me there, please be kind to the artist who has taken my slot!
