Wowee Zonk and The Toronto Comic Arts Festival

Anyone who came to The Toronto Comic Arts Festival in 2009 may remember a funny little glass encased room with some garbage bags and coloured paper stuck all over it. It looked like this.



Myself, Chris and Ginette called this hovel our home for the weekend and sold some of our friend's books in it and also sold some of our own! It was a sad hour when we had to tear it all down and go home. Sometimes in the evening as we sit in our Boston Pizza, warm schooners in our mitts, we reminisce about our darling room and each of it's little quirks and we wonder when we will ever see it again.

Our woe finally came to an end when we conceived (With the help of Chris Butcher of the Beguiling and Broken Pencil Magazine) The Small Press Schooner. The Small Press Schooner (named after our favourite nautical beverage) is new room at this year's Toronto Comic Arts Festival that will serve as an exhibition space for emerging Toronto comic artists, illustrators and printmakers. But if we want to fill this boat, we need a crew.

If you are interested in exhibiting in The Small Press Schooner on either Saturday, May 8th or Sunday, May 9th, Please go HERE and fill out an application.

Get on board and come and sell some of your artwork.

Note: It's a much larger room than our previous glass enclosed room.
