"A guy named Turdswallo Blackteeft and his friend Dingball go to the fortune teller but it turns into a psychedelic nightmare. The Dingball tells Turdswallo about his tragic punk love story. Then some other shit happens. I don’t know. Everything kind of melts into the next thing and the dialogue is weird and inventive and organic"
The Toronto Comic Arts Festival this past weekend was a real success. Thank you to Chris Butcher and The Beguiling for allowing us to curate The Small Press Schooner room and hang out at the festival all weekend. Cheers to everyone who came an exhibited with us!
Special Congratulations to our good friend and Michael DeForge for his Doug Wright Award on Saturday night! Michael's comic LOSE is also published by Koyama Press, and is really fantastic. If you haven't read it already, what are you waiting for? Congrats again to Michael and to our publisher Koyama Press!
Congratulations to Marc Bell, Seth and their publisher Drawn and Quarterly for their two awards! I encourage everyone to check out Marc's winning book Hot Potatoe and also the new D&Q book Catland Empire by Keith Jones. They are both really wonderful.
Thanks to everyone for coming out to TCAF and seeing our work and buying our books. It was a pleasure.
Note: We have some new zines left over from the event. As soon as we get ourselves organized we'll have them for sale here! Stay tuned.
