Rob Demers of ‘Project Million Entertainment’ interviewed me at Con Bravo where I talked about Silly Kingdom, working with my bro, and sported a sweet Companion Cube headband.
I’ll be tabling at the ‘Word on the Street’ outdoor bookfair this Sunday, and it looks it’ll be a fun time.
I’ll be set up at table FB7, rain or shine, with my comic buddies Brian Evinou, Julie Faulkner, and possibly my brother Shaggy (he’s got some fancy gaming thing he’s running around doing).
If you’re in Toronto you should totally come check it out (like I said, fun times!)
Kind thanks to Broken Pencil magazine for featuring a page from “Silly Kingdom” as part of a collective showcasing of “The Gene Day Awards” nominees!

TCAF and Joe Shuster Award nominations!
(Pushing comics on our lovely cartoonist friend Tory Woollcott.)
My brother Shaggy and I had an absolutely fantastic time at TCAF (Toronto Comic Arts Festival) last weekend- definitely one of the most fun, successful and inspiring conventions we’ve exhibited at yet! And I’d like to give HUGE THANKS to our little sister Hesbell and friend Adriana Blake for being amazing booth buddies.
We are also super excited to announce that Silly Kingdom is up for TWO nominations in the 2012 Joe Shuster Awards!!! We’ve been nominated for the Gene Day award for self publishing and the Dragon Award for Kids Comics (and are the only self published title in that category). We’re absolutely honored to be up for consideration amongst so many amazing titles, thank you!!
We were also lucky enough to get a couple sweet fanarts while at TCAF, one depicting sibling shenanigans from our cartoonist pal Brian Evinou:
And another from the delightful Jamie Campbell:
Mega thanks to everyone who came by TCAF and the after parties to say hello, hang out and pick up copies of our book. TCAF wouldn’t have been nearly as much fun without you guys and Shaggy and I are ever grateful for your awesome support (and all around awesomeness).
Cheers!
Hey Toronto! Looking for fun geeky things to do before/after TCAF? My brother Shaggy has created “Geek Trip Maps” just for you!
The floor plan for the Toronto Comic Arts Festival is up! My siblings and I’ll be hanging out on the second floor at table 218 alongside our lovely comic neighbourino Adriana Blake!
Free to attend and totally awesome! For more info check out torontocomics.com
I’ve only just returned from Chicago’s C2E2 comic con and am already diving into another heavy storyboard deadline, so while I don’t have much time to do a proper blog-highlight I’ll quickly say that the con was AWESOME!!! I met a whole bunch of amazing people; old friends, new friends, readers and fabulous creators and am completely inspired to make more comics and art and amazing things!
Here are a few links of C2E2 related events that’ll give you a better idea of goings-on than my keyboard rambling ever could. A couple interviews focusing on a Womanthology panel I was part of and a really fun podcast my brother recorded the Saturday night of the convention with our table buddies.
Coverage of the “Ladies of Womanthology” panel by the Progressively Aggressive Podcast.
Talking to the Micromaphone: 035 Podcasthology at C2E2. With Shaggy Shan, Katie Shanahan and table buddies Jean Kang and Alex Clinkingbeard. Topics include C2E2, Womanthology, and how to avoid being creepy in artist alley. (about 1 hour)
Progressively Aggressive Podcast sits down with Jean Kang and Katie Shanahan. Where Jean talks really smart and I talk really fast.
That’s all for now, cheers gang!

If you happen to be in Chicago this weekend and like comics and FUN, come on out to C2E2 and say hullo! My brother Shaggy and I will be exhibiting at Artist Alley table D4 with copies of Silly Kingdom, “Cautionary Fables and Fairytales” (an anthology we did a comic adaptation of “Tatterhood” for), and lots of colourful art prints. Hope to see you there :)
EDIT: ALSO! Forgot to add, I’ll be part of the “Ladies of Womathology” panel Saturday morning 11am in room N427bc (woop woop!!)
