Toronto Fan Appreciation show wrapup

Wow, this one's really late. I have a good excuse! No, I don't. I've been terrifically busy; I'm learning French in the mornings, my wife is eight months pregnant, and I'm hustling work like I've never hustled before. Lots to talk about!

The Toronto Fan Appreciation show was the weekend before last. I had a great time (particularly during the busy parts of Saturday). Drew a bunch of cool stuff for fans, check them out:

Wonder Woman

Firestorm

Spidey and Batman

Deadpool

Catwoman

The Universal monsters (this one was super fun to do)

After the show was done, I went out to the amazing Tim Burton MoMA exhibit at the TIFF Lightbox theatre with T. and Russ. It was a really phenomenal show; Tim was my absolute number-one hero when I was a kid. Although I haven't enjoyed many of his films for the last few years, a number of them rank among my all-time favorites (Ed Wood especially). I could spend days checking out all that amazing work. Finish things! It's the only thing to do!

Lots of other things to check in about: I spoke at the Animation class at Dawson College last week about storytelling in comics. Big thanks to Dipti Gupta and her awesome class of future superstars; I had a magnificent time, the class asked smart questions, and I think I've caught the teaching bug.

Green Wake, the excellent Image Comics/Shadowline comic I am lettering, has been picked up as an ongoing series. I will be continuing as letterer; I'm super proud of the work everybody's done on the book and I can't wait to see what Kurtis and Riley come up with next.

I have also started a Tumblr site, where I'll be posting some older paintings and work from college. I'm also contributing to the Tim Sale Sketchblog, which is a weekly thing.

That's So Kraven!

More later this week. Got to get back to work!

Toronto Winter Con roundup

 

 

 

  

 

Toronto was a lot of fun! Great to see Guy Davis, Ray Fawkes, Cameron Stewart, and Russ again. Lovely to meet Katherine from The Naked News, too (NSFW). Thanks to the organizers, the con went liquidy-smooth and the fans were particularly great.

Congratulations to Canada on their gold medal in hockey. I made it to the bar just as overtime started. Downtown Toronto after the victory was a sea of good vibes and smiles. Shame about the Nickelback though.

Back to work. See you again, TO.

Toronto Winter Comic Con

Big weekend coming up! I'll be in Toronto to attend the Toronto Winter Comic Con. It should be a good show; the Hobbystar people have always been good to me and Toronto is a great town.

I will have prints! I am bringing along my Archie Snow print, and a brand-new one:

If you would like me to put one aside for you, contact me as always at kelly at kelly tindall dot com.

I'm coming into town a few days early; I will be in attendance at the class taught by the monstrous and awesome Guy Davis on February 27th. The man is a genuine comic-book rock star and I cannot wait to see him again.

Be well, everyone.

Fan Expo, roller derby, etc.

I love roller derby! My girl and I went to the finals a couple of weeks ago and saw our new friend Heidi (AKA Beater Pan-Tease) co-captain Les Filles de Roi to the championships! I'm so proud of them. I'm also stoked that there's a team sport I like to watch. It's taken me decades to find one I like!

Congrats, girls!

In other news, I will be at the Toronto Fan Expo this weekend, kicking it with Proof bros Alex Grecian and Riley Rossmo. We will be at tables P56-P57 (by the Rue Morgue section) so come see us and say 'hi'. I can't wait, it's going to be so much fun.
