Next Jam and other news from the Jam's High Priestess, Jane

Hello to All!



There will be a MTL Comix Jam this January, most likely on the last Sunday afternoon of the month. For the location there are two possible venues where it can be held namely the Casa del Popolo or The Pharmacie Espéranza corner St-Viateur and St-Laurent (a few steps from Billy Maveras' shop Monastiraki). I wish to leave you the choice of the venue, and the rule of majority of vote will decide. But please, let me know your choice before Monday the 10th of January [to vote you must be a member of the MMCJ news group]. After this deadline, I will have no other choice, due to booking limitations, to make a decision on where to hold the Jam.



Other news, Olivier Charbonneau is thinking of seeking a subsidy from the Arts Council of Canada. He wishes to publish an anthology of the works produced during the last jams held through the years. The project is still in the air and Olivier may ask your help after he comes back from the Angoulême festival. At this time, I may call the jammers for a extraordinary meeting so we can get more infos from Olivier. Moreover, if you have some good works in black and white hidden in your pantries, don't throw it away since Olivier is also looking for some pictures of comix to put in his upcoming book on comix in Quebec. It may be a good opportunity to increase our visibility as comic book artists.



Finally, a sad news: The "OrsonWelles" (dixit Neil Gaiman) of the Comix world, Will Eisner died last Monday after a heart bypass in Florida. Another Giant is now gone.:(



So this is it, and

Happy New Year to everyone!

Bonjour à vous tous,



Il y aura un Comix Jam de prévu ce Janvier probablement le dernier dimanche après-midi. Seule demeure la question du lieu ou se tiendra le Jam. Il y a deux possibilités: soit tenir le Jam à la Casa del Popolo ou encore à la Pharmacie Espérenza (coin St-Viateur et St-laurent, à deux pas de la boutique de Billy Maveras, Monastiraki). Je voudrais vous donner le choix du lieu et il est donc très important que je connaisse votre opinion (la majorité des voix décidera) au plus tard lundi le 10 janvier 2005. Passé cette date, je devrai donc décider moi-même de l'endroit car les réservations doivent se faire le plus tôt possible.



Autre nouvelle: Olivier Charbonneau songe à faire une demande de subvention au Conseil des Arts du Canada afin de publier une anthologie des meilleures œuvres produite pendant les jams des dernières années. Comme le projet est encore à l'état embryonnaire, il faudra attendre le retour d'Olivier du festival d'Angoulême pour en connaitre les détails. À ce moment là, je vous contacterai vous les Jammeux en cas d'une réunion extraordinaire qui portera sur ce projet. De plus, Olivier serait à la recherche d'extraits noir et blanc de comix pour illustrer son livre portant sur la bédé au Québec. Cela pourrait être une bonne occasion d'obtenir de la visibilité et les bédéistes d'ici en ont bien besoin.



Enfin une nouvelle triste: le "Orson Welles" (dixit Neil Gaiman) de la bédé mondiale, Will Eisner est décédé en Floride lundi dernier à la suite d'un quadruple pontage coronarien.C'est un autre géant de la profession qui nous quitte.:(



Sur ce,

Je vous souhaite une Bonne Année

Grand Nez à tous!
