Spring 2012 Convention Appearances - TCAF & Ottawa Comic Con

Suddenly, it's con season for me! I'm heading to Toronto this weekend for the Toronto Comics Art Festival and you'll be able to find me at table 256 on the second floor of the Toronto Reference Library.

The following weekend, May 12-13, I won't have to go far as my hometown will be holding its first comic convention in a long time. Anyone remember MapleCon? Anyway, Ottawa Comic Con will be held at the new CE Centre and I'll be at table 908-B.

Come on by and say hello! Saturday Morning WebToons, Growing Up Enchanted, and other goodies await your arrival...

New Boo Bear & Flo and Growing Up Enchanted available in iBooks...

Time for another new episode of Boo Bear & Flo today on saturdaymorningwebtoons.com - beware the Frankie Stein Toy Brigade, Flo! Hope you're enjoying Flo's adventures as Agnes and I approach the mid-point of the story.

Also wanted to mention that there's a new digital avenue to pick up both volumes of Growing Up Enchanted - iBooks is now carrying them and both could be had for under 5 dollars each. If you have an iOS device, please check it out. Looks something like this:

Ibooks

Seems Apple does the same thing Amazon does in their initial search listings and credits only one creator and not both the writer and artist. Sorry, Alex! (And I'm wrongfully credited as the artist too...)

Evolution of a page - Boo Bear & Flo

Dust_world_boo_flo_04
Agnes Garbowska, my multi-talented partner in crime behind the adventures of Boo Bear & Flo, has posted a process piece on her blog around how episode 4 of the story came together. So, if you're fascinated about how comics are put together from idea to script to completed page, it's a great behind the scenes look at the process.

Not only does she break down and show how she illustrates the page, she also explains the collaboration between the two of us in getting the idea to story and script so that it's ready for her visual treatment. True collaborations make for a better comic story, I think. Better than the singular story vision to script, then handoff to the artist to make the best of it. Write a novel if that's what you want. This is comics storytelling.

Anyway, interesting stuff so take a look.

Also, remember to following the continuing adventures of Boo Bear & Flo, part of Saturday Morning WebToons, every...you guessed it...Saturday morning.

New Growing Up Enchanted & Classic Digger out this week @comixology $0.99 each!

Just wanted to give everyone a heads-up that the first chapter of Growing Up Enchanted Volume 2 is out this week digitally on Comixology. Or issue 5 for those keeping track of the fantasy adventure series.

Wait, there's more. The NASCAR all-ages adventure mini-series I did last year for IDW, Digger & Friends, is also now available on Comixology. All 4 issues out at once.

And...they're at a fantastic price point...only 99 cents each issue! The Growing Up Enchanted issue clocks in at more than the typical 20-25 page issue. It's closer to 40 pages so please, give it a try! 5 issues released all in one week. I don't think I'll ever beat that record again...
