TCAF 2011

Man, what a weekend! I had such an amazing time and feel so lucky to have been selected as an exhibitor for the show. Thanks to Chris Butcher and all the volunteers and everyone involved in TCAF for making it such a magical show to be a part of! I hope everyone who made it out had as good a time as I did all weekend. I can’t wait for TCAF 2012!

Craig and I hosted the amazing power couple of Jordyn Bochon and Tim Carpenter for the weekend. It was the best of times and it was the bestest of times! Can’t wait to have those guys here again.

We all were lucky enough to spend some time this weekend with Kyla Vanderklugt and Colleen MacIsaac and another one of my favourite couples Raina Telgemeier and Dave Roman! I wish all my pictures from our dinner together wasn’t a blurry mess!

One of my regrets from the weekend is that I didn’t get to talk everyone for longer! Isabelle, Katie, Meghan, Michael, Emily, Fawn, Joe! it was so wonderful to meet you all after being separated from the internet for so long! There are so many more I’m sure of it, so apologies if I missed anyone here!

Something I was really looking forward to over the weekend was meeting artists Natsume Ono and Mawil! I have been fans of their work for a while and was lucky enough to have them sign some books for me.

And look at these adorable stickers my pal Lindsay gave to me. It’s her and I as DEMON HUNTERS!

Thank you so much to everyone who stopped by my table! It was so amazing to hear the nice things you had to say. There were even a few Crown Royale fans that I got to meet! I really can’t thank you all enough! I really really appreciate you taking the time to say hi! YOU GUYS ARE THE GREATEST! Thanks for making my weekend amazing!

Lots of exciting things!

Super Punch Tarot Show

The Super Punch Tarot art show is coming up at Bear and Bird Gallery! Check out my King of Coins piece on the flyer!

Also coming up in March is the Wizard World Toronto Comic Con which I was invited to exhibit at. Really excited for that one as it’s my first time attending the show! Hope to see some of you there!

Further down the road in May is TCAF which I will be returning to exhibit at this year! I had such a great time last year and met so many people. I’m really looking forward to this show! Best of all it’s free to attend so everyone should come check it out!

Black Forest

Lastly, Thurop Van Orman has started releasing some images from his new project, Black Forest. Last year he commissioned me to do some text embroidery based off of his design and there it is on the top left corner. Kind of neat to be involved in a tiny way :D

TCAF IS THE BEST

TCAF was AMAZING! I can’t say thank you enough to everyone who stopped by my table to say hello or bought something from me. You are all lovely and wonderful people and have a special place in my heart. Thank you for making my first time tabling at TCAF such a rad and totally amazing experience! Thanks so much to the people behind TCAF for accepting me into the show. And for putting together such a great show! And to all the volunteers for being so helpful and on top of their game! I’ve never felt so taken care of at a convention before! I feel like I spent the entire weekend talking to so many people but I still didn’t get the chance to see everyone I hoped I would. But you can’t escape my clutches and I’ll force my friendship on you all eventually! One of my favourite thing about conventions is being able to finally meet so many pals that I only know online and there was an abundance of that going on this time around!

Seriously you guys, TCAF is one of the best shows around. I could write thousands of sentences all ending in exclamations about how much fun it is and what a great time I had last weekend. Too bad I’m a dork and I forgot my camera, so I’ve got to go around snatching pictures other people took to prove the fun that was cram packed into the Toronto Reference Library, like this one from the incredible Joseph Lambert

So here’s to everyone involved in making TCAF possible! Can’t wait for the next one! Now that I am so inspired and filled with creative energy it’s time to get back to work MAKING STUFF!
