CHESTER BROWN & Louis Riel grab yet MORE headlinesIn this week’s THE PANELIST [eye - 10.30.03] Guy Leshinski interviews Brown briefly at his home between stops on his book tour… “Elfin and inward, Chester Brown at home could almost be mistaken for part of the ephemera, though a reader of the Toronto cartoonist's work would spot him instantly from the precise self-portraits in his comics: the aquiline bone structure; the large head that, like a satellite, seems to orbit its willowy body; the long hands, one of which laces yours in its slender fingers and faintly mimics a handshake, giving your wrist a gentle nudge as though it were setting a bowl of hot soup on a table.” >>> And the Canadian publishing bible QUILL & QUIRE features a review of LOUIS RIEL with artwork. [10.29.03] "...the book is a wonderful combination of factual resources and powerful art and storytelling.">>> look at Chester go :) - Stumble It! - Leave a comment!| 0comments - - we honor OpenID -
Wed, Oct 29th, 2003: The Brampton Guardian: an interview with hometown hero Jay Stephens  “Local artist gets his own Saturday morning series”When nine-year-old Jay Stephens made the daily pilgrimage up the creaky old staircase at Central Public School, little did he know he was carving a path that would lead him all the way to Hollywood. "The top floor was really dark and spooky, and there was a dusty case of taxidermied animals which used to creep me out," he said. "I think that was very influential in me developing a taste for eerie things like the Addams Family and mummies." >>> - Stumble It! - Leave a comment!| 0comments - - we honor OpenID -

Sunday, October 26, 2003 Preston Manning may be the Stan Lee of the Canadian right  This is cute; Pundit Rex Murphy makes an analogy for the current right wing unification moves via Stan Lee and Marvel’s current courtship with Hollywood "I think of Preston Manning (I hope this doesn't distress him) often. Preston Manning may be the Stan Lee of the Canadian right. Stan Lee was a visionary, a one-man mythmaker, who revolutionized comic books in the 1960s, with the invention of a whole adolescent pantheon, a storyboard Homer of action and angst." >>> - Stumble It! - Leave a comment!| 0comments - - we honor OpenID -
D+Q newsTo announce his appearances in Montreal a few of the local dailies and weeklies ran profiles of Chester and his recent work ---- Oct 26 in the Montreal Gazette:  Comic-strip maverick takes on Louis Riel, Chester brown in town. Published biography in form of graphic novel “Dubbed "a brilliant maverick" by Time magazine, Brown is the Canadian superhero of the not-so-new, but suddenly hot adult comic-strip phenomenon. An underground DIY graphic-art movement dating back to the late 1960s, the adult comic is enjoying a new round of mainstream attention, thanks to the hit movies Ghost World and American Splendor. The form won literary respect in 1986, when Art Spiegelman's Maus won the Pulitzer as best novel. Brown is in town today to deliver a slide-lecture at the Town of Mount Royal Library and to sign copies of the hardbound Riel bio at the Paragraphe bookstore downtown. Born in Montreal in 1960, Brown grew up a unilingual anglo in South Shore Châteauguay. He has lived in Toronto since 1979.”>>> ---- Oct 23-29 ish of the Montreal Mirror ArtsWeek: Keeping it Riel (also available on the D+Q site ici ) “Rarely is Canadian history delivered in a package as absorbing as Chester Brown's latest oeuvre. Originally released in 10 serialized editions, the local comic artist/historian's Louis Riel: A Comic Biography has been fused into a tight unit by also-local publisher Drawn and Quarterly.” >>> ---- Oct 18 Chester made the National press in the Globe & Mail, taking the cover story for the Book Review section. The venerable Canadian national newspaper ‘Lavished’ the book with non-stop accolades, reviewer Bernice Eisenstein states "if you love to read a gripping story, if you are awed by the talent of an artist, then look no further: Chester Brown’s LOUIS RIEL is comix history in the making, and with it, history never looked so good." "Riel’s story of injustice and intrigue and the machinations of an expanding nation are stylishly written, but Brown’s well-paced schematic unfolding knows when to pull back the word and release the artistic arsenal of cinematic techniques, frame by frame. Thus, battle scenes are pure image, capturing the close-up tensions and movement of action, and Riel’s isolation is revealed in silence. Word and pen unite together, near the end, when Riel is tried for treason." Along with featuring LOUIS RIEL on the cover of the Book Review and the front page of the newspaper, the GLOBE & MAIL ran two full pages of art alongside the review. >>> Check here to find out Chester’s up coming tour dates ---- Oct 22 Some guy named Joe Sacco was interviewed by the CBC on The Arts Today aperantly as well… ;) Audio link pending. - Stumble It! - Leave a comment!| 0comments - - we honor OpenID -

Saturday, October 18, 2003 eye - 10.16.03: THE PANELIST; Public appearanceBy Guy Leshinski On the pervasive and nagging guilt of those who still feel somehow 'un-cool' if they are seen in public reading a comic "A few weeks ago, Salon.com -- that well-loved, well-read, well-nigh bankrupt web magazine from San Francisco, ran as its lead story a review of Neil Gaiman's new comics collection, Sandman: Endless Nights.

Friday, October 17, 2003 A reminder for the upcoming vernissage:Plan Cartésien Monday October 20 at 18:00hr @ cegep du Vieux Montreal, 255 rue Ontario Est. The Mechanics General [MG] stable is pleased to invite you to the Plan Cartésien exhibit, a gallery show of Comix Art & stories on the theme of the City. Seen from the sky, a city somewhat resembles a comic strip. Boxes overflowing with life; networks of corridors & cubicles. Street as the gutters between panels in comics; place reserved for the imagination of the reader. The panels of a page could be seen as a wall of windows. Windows that let in the air and the light, & make it possible to be devoted to the guilty pleasures of voyeurism. To some at first glance both can resemble a monotonous grid, but if one looks closely, they discover a generous anthill of surprises! We [MG] asked several authors living in Quebec to speak to us about the city. How do we live together, in prisms with rectangular bases? Made out of concrete? How to improve our lot without running up against each other? How co-inhabit, satisfying both the interests of the individual and those of the community? The resulting collection of stories will be published in an anthology of sequential art, with which Mechanics General seeks to shine a spotlight the new generation of authors living in Quebec for whom urban life is already a subject of some preoccupation. By considering the stories mounted on the walls of the exhibit or in the pages of Plan Cartésien it’s possible to observe some overarching tendencies for this group of authors. The first, strongest, is the echo of a feeling of insecurity visa-a-vie the brittleness of world balance. The second is the great constant of the comic strip québécoise: absurd, cynical or poetic humour. But most astonishing to us is the appearance of a form of transparent unabashed sentimentalism. An almost dangerous honesty. The show will include work by Sherwin Tjia, David Turgeon, Daniel Plaisance, Djieff, Boo, Valérie Morency, Billy Mavreas, Jean-Nicolas Vallée, Carlos Santos, Christian Daigle, Sebastien Trahan, Salgood Sam & more! (a lot more, this is a big show!) In addition there will be two new small MG books launched at the gallery opening  Moins 22 degrés Celsius- A simple story, Drawn over three days for a Showing of "the general mechanical stable" in February 2003: A young woman rises one morning and prepares to go to work. She lives with a cat but one feels that this companion is not enough to fill her loneliness, she seeks, in the music which she listens to and films she watches, traces of a male presence. A small book of desire describing the environment and time that passes, telling an unspoken story. A story of a hart.  Petits Mensonges- The year 1977 revisited through the childhood eyes of PhlppGrrd. The author evokes anecdotes from his history by introducing us into a world were truth and the fog of memory merge. The narration can be rich in spite of a disconcerting economy of means that lends to the air of childhood experience, capturing moments that make us smile and that move us.Update: At 7pm I returned from helping Jimmy, Sebastien, Kurt & Co. hang the show. Here are a few tidbits from he walls...           ...Sorry the images are a bit fuzzy, you'll have to come by the show for better for now...:) See you there! -MG - Stumble It! - Leave a comment!| 0comments - - we honor OpenID -
Wednesday, October 15, 2003 Seth in the Vinal Cafe with Sparky  Canadian storyteller and humorist Stuart McLean recently launched his latest book. Titled Vinal Cafe Diaries, it's filled with stories of strange secrets, odd dreams, high hopes, and, of course, hilarious misadventures of ‘Dave’, Stuart’s regular character. Notably and of concern to readers of this blog it also features cover and interior designs/illustration by Seth [Palookaville]. I first heard about this on Stuart’s traviling radio show [CBC] the Vinal Café, and then a bit later in a recent radio interview with Seth. It seems the two have found they share a bond over all things witty and slightly used. (no surprise to those familiar with either of them.) slightly more hi profile Seth also did the designing chores on the new Fantagraphics Published Complete Peanuts. - Stumble It! - Leave a comment!| 0comments - - we honor OpenID -
NDP Party Communications officer looses his job over a cartoon in bad taste.Co: Journalista In Saskatchewan a political cartoon passed around among politicians and political leaders in the New Democrat Party [NDP] depicting their chief rival, the Saskatchewan Parties leader  Elwin Hermanson as a Nazi prison guard herding NDP ‘sympathizers’ into a cattle car.The author of the cartoon, NDP communications co-ordinator Carlo Binda, resigned Monday and another official was fired over his role in the matter. Hermanson, head of the Saskatchewan Party, said Calvert expressed regret during a cell phone call. "I just told the premier that I accept his apology and that my feeling was actions speak louder than words," Hermanson said. Earlier the same day, Calvert apologized on a Regina radio show to Hermanson and the Jewish community. "There is nothing funny about it," Calvert said. In the drawing, Hermanson is dressed in a military uniform with the Saskatchewan Party "S" on his collar. He is holding a long list and calling out names. He calls out for "NDP sympathizer 2,003" to a woman who is wearing a bandanna, carrying a mop and wearing an NDP armband. "But I just wash floors!" she protests.

Marvel Boots Bill, NOT, Gives Canadians a price brake (damn strait, what with the week ass US dollar) and brings back Alpha Flight...why?Have I mentioned Bill Jemas has been caned? Personal opinion aside, Paul O'Brien did a pretty good bit on Jemas’s exit and what It may mean for Marvel at NINTHART....except it all a lie! he's not been fired, he's been moved to a different position, where his mouthpiece tendencies will no doubt serve him well....."chief marketing officer"....HA HA HA! They WILL never learn will they. Well there's some more shuffling going on there aside from that, you can read the the press release ici. Also allong with Paul O'Brien's two cents, here are some more web pundits on the issue care of Dirk at TCJ, J.W. Hastings, Steven Grant & Brandon Fienstein (temporary link) Canadian fans of Marvel Comics have reason to be happy. In a press release sent out by Marvel Comics they announced that the company will be lowering the Canadian cover price by at least .50 cents and up to $1 on most Marvel titles beginning with books on sale December 5th. The new Canadian price structure is as follows: New Canadian Price - Old Canadian Price $0.75 - $0.85 $1.50 - $1.60 $3.25 - $3.75 $3.50 - $4.00 $4.25 - $4.75 $5.00 - $5.75 $5.75 - $6.50 $7.00 - $7.95 $8.50 - $9.50 These changes will not affect the price of Marvel graphic novels. In other news the Canadian super-team Alpha Flight would be returning in an all-new ongoing series next year.

I also learned through the Oct8 post that Jean-Pierre Ronfard has passed away recently.

Kartalopoulos. Like most sites of it’s type (including this one) has been a labour of love and supported largely by William’s willingness to take the time to maintained it (his 90 wpm typing skills probably come in handy here) and bankroll it. But like most labours of love, when the day job takes a hike it puts a serious crimp in the publishers ability to maintain. William’s last job seems to have done just that and now he’s in need of gainful employment, or at least a few $ till then. I’ll let him explain the details So, anyone out there have need of a NY based, fast typing, drawing, designing and programming, editing, researching, knowledgeable web savvy young man? I can think of at least a few publications and publishers that likely should. Also, I imagine his skills could be very helpful to any creators out there looking to promote there work.

Thursday, October 02, 2003 A month's worth of EYE:THE PANELIST & ZINES ON THE SCENE-----10.02.03----- THE PANELIST Indie jones on the street: Guy Leshinski reports on the Toronto edition of The 14th-annual Word on the Street lit fair on Sept. 28  "The 14th-annual Word on the Street lit fair on Sept. 28 ably demonstrated that this town has some great indie publishers, marching to their own arrhythmia in the looming shadows of the word industry. Some of these hot steppers are even further off the beat and channel their DIY into alternative comics. A few put their books to the people that Sunday afternoon, and held their own among the Random Houses and McGraw-Hills"+ZINES ON THE SCENE: MAYBE WE COULD JUST LIE HERE NAKED HOLDING EACH OTHER FOR A WHILE BUT NOT HAVE SEX A review of Jeffrey Browns self-published graphic novel Clumsy -----09.18.03----- THE PANELIST Sketches of pain: 705 words on The Acme Novelty Date Book by Chris Ware [pub by D&Q]  "For those so inclined, leafing through a new collection by one of the best artists in his field can be a risky operation.

"Many Golden Age cartoonists toiled in something like sweatshops, leaving work unsigned or miscredited, and little of it has been republished for modern readers to uncover. That bugs the hell out of Blake Bell. "They're forgotten artists from a forgotten era," the Torontonian laments over drinks at a local bookstore. The towering 33-year-old has a yen for these sunken treasures, can riff on their work with cometary speed and shocking depth. He chased down their wives for his anecdote collection, I Have to Live With This Guy, and is all but chummy with Spider-Man's notoriously reclusive co-creator Steve Ditko, whose bio he's also writing."+ZINES ON THE SCENE: Reviews of EVERYDAY COMICS by Andrew Foster & JOURNEY OF A CURIOUS MAN by Jimenez Y C Lai - Stumble It! - Leave a comment!| 0comments - - we honor OpenID -
