Golden CAF

TCAF is over! And if it were any other convention or comics show, I’d be relieved and happy to go back to my daily routine, but I’m actually a little sad. This year’s Toronto Comic Arts Festival was, as multiple reports confirm, the best show of the year. Great crowd, wonderful laid-back vibe and a general (surprising?) feeling of maturity and appreciation for all things comics. Our Transmission-X room was busy all weekend with curious art-loving con-goers and I think we were all kept busy just socializing.

Here we are on the Transmission-X panel, which looks a lot like The Last Supper. Which would make either Scotty or Andy the Son of God…

High point for me:

- Meeting caricaturists Joe Bluhm and Sam Gorrie, both of whom did sketches of me (I haven’t scanned Sam’s yet, but when I do I’ll post it here). I’m so jealous of their ability to capture likenesses, and so quickly! Each sketch was done in 5-10 minutes.

And now I must hunker down and start this week’s episode of The Abominable Charles Christopher so you’ll all have something to read tomorrow.

Oh yeah, and Teen Titans too… ;)

Scotty’s position and facing would make him Paul (I think), re-interpreted by Dan Brown freaks into Mary Magdalene. That makes the blonde guy on the end obscured by the microphone Judas! Tell the guy in the beret to keep an eye on him…
