Speakeasy @ The Gladstone Hotel

:: Posted by Bryan @ 4/03/2006 06:28:00 AM
From Diana Tamblyn comes a reminder of the monthly Speakeasy event at the Gladstone Hotel in Toronto. Speakeasy is a monthly networking gathering for creative types held the first Thursday of every month (the event has nothing to do with the now defunct Toronto comic book company). This month the focus is on comics:
Next Thursday, April 6th is a Group Art Show at the
Gladstone Hotel, with a theme of what else? Comics!

'Everyone loves comics, right? Maybe you get your fix
through a daily newspaper strip. Or maybe your tastes
run to the more highbrow art comics from Europe.
However you choose to look at them, comics offer a
different, and often a fun way to look at life and
art.

Well for anyone who has ever loved (or still loves)
comics, it may come as a surprise to learn that
Toronto is home to some of the best known comics
artists in North America. We have an active and
vibrant community putting out some of the highest
quality comics to be found anywhere. The SpeakEasy
Comics Show features an eclectic mix of Toronto's
talented comics artists - from those who do newspaper
strips and political cartoons, to underground comix
and mainstream superhero comic books! The event
promises to display an exciting cross-section of the
comics community here in Toronto, as well as a glimpse
into how good comics are made. As the old cliche goes,
there really will be something for everyone.'
