Just got a whack of new info about the up-coming Blue met events. This first bit was mailed to me by Danny Hellman...



Montreal fans of underground/indie comics won't want to miss: COMIX: A BLUE VIEW

Saturday, April 3rd, 2004 starting at 2pm (program runs approximately 150 minutes) - admission: $5.00



Location: the Hyatt Regency Montreal hotel 1255 Jeanne-Mance - Room: Picardie - 5e étage / 5th floor



Part of Montreal's week-long 6th Blue Metropolis literary festival, COMIX: A BLUE VIEW will include the following:



R. Sikoryak's CAROUSEL, a dazzling multimedia slide performance direct from New York City, featuring comix slideshows by R. Sikoryak (RAW, Drawn & Quarterly), Michael Kupperman (author/artist of Snake 'n' Bacon Cartoon Cabaret), Danny Hellman, (Legal Action Comics, Last Gasp Comix & Stories, Bizarro #2) and Lauren R. Weinstein (author/artist of the Xeric Award-winning Inside Vineland; member of the band Flaming Fire).



New York cartoonist/illustrator Danny Hellman (Time, Wall St Journal, Screw, etc.) and editor/publisher of the anthologies Legal Action Comics Volumes 1 & 2), talks to journalist Rupert Bottenberg about Rall v. Hellman, the notorious nuisance lawsuit that led to the acclaimed anthologies.



Billy Mavreas, Montreal's master of psychedelic comics and graphic art, presents an original, exclusive slideshow comic strip, featuring handmade slides!).



Marc Ngui (Enter Avariz, a comic book of cute-n-cuddly anti-capitalism) unveils a new slideshow.



Bernie Mireault (Grendel and Madman), previews his forthcoming The Jam, a full-length graphic novel of all-new material, with a slideshow presentation.



Sherwin Tjia, (Pedigree Girls), traces the evolution of his graphic-novel-in-progress Sullyville, from conceptual sketches to final,

inked pages.



Michael Kupperman's cartoons and illustrations have appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times, Fortune, and many other publications, as well as on Comedy Central's TV Funhouse. His book Snake 'N' Bacon's Cartoon Cabaret was published by Harper Collins.



R. Sikoryak's cartoons have appeared on the cover of The New Yorker, and in Drawn and Quarterly, Raw, Nickelodeon Magazine, among other places. He is the co-author, with Michael Smith, of the NEA-funded comic book, The Seduction of Mike (Fantagraphics). He hosts the series of cartoon slide shows, "Carousel," previously seen in NYC at Dixon Place, Makor, and The Brooklyn Museum.



Danny Hellman has provided illustrations for a wide variety of publications, including Time, Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal, Sports Illustrated, Hustler and Screw. His comic strips have appeared in DC Comics' BIG BOOK series, Last Gasp Comix & Stories, the forthcoming Bizarro #2, and in volumes 1 & 2 of LEGAL ACTION COMICS, (anthologies featuring work by over seventy cartoonists, edited and published by Hellman).

Now I just talked to Chris at D&Q tonight, and apparently the folks at the Blue Met have double booked a presentation he's doing with the ones listed above. I haven't found the details about that online yet but if you’re planning to go be warned, you may have to choose between the two events for at least part of the time.
