This Magazine's Great Canadian Literary Hunt | Now with comics  We're exceptionally excited to announce the launch of this year's annual This Magazine tradition, the Great Canadian Literary Hunt. Now in its 14th year, we're on the trail again of Canada's best undiscovered poetry, short fiction and -- drumroll! -- graphic narrative. That's right, we've added a third category to the contest, a visual category especially for short illustrated stories, like graphic novels but way shorter. So that's kind of a big deal.

Saturday, March 13, 2010 April Schedule: Toronto Cartoonists WorkshopTORONTO CARTOONISTS WORKSHOP is pleased to announce our line up of new classes for April 2010. They will be: - Ty Templeton’s Comic Book Bootcamp Level One - Kidding Around: Writing Comics for Younger Readers with Sam Agro - Professional Layout and Story Telling for Comics and Graphic Novels with Ty Templeton Comic Book Bootcamp Level I is finally back. It covers indepth both the pictorial and writing aspects of comic book creation. The response to this course is amazing and it has been constantly full over the past four years in its various incarnations. The September 2009 edition was sold out very quickly following Fan Expo and had a waiting list. Apply now to avoid disappointment. Writing Comics for Younger Readers teaches the fundamentals of what is becoming a hot market in the book field. With critical and economic successes like BONE, AMULET and DIARY OF A WIMPY KID driving industry and consumer interest it is sure to be a growth area for some time. Sign up for this in depth study of the fundamentals of writing comics and animation for kids from 5 to 15 taught by Sam Agro. Sam has written for TVO’s Polka Dot Shorts, the animated segments of Elliot Moose is on the Loose and many, many scripts for DC’s Looney Tunes and Block Party comics. Professional Layout and Story Telling is a course I have been asked about for a long time. Many aspiring comic artists are interested in studying with Ty Templeton, but would rather not have to go through the writing lessons that are a part of the Bootcamp. If you are a student who specifically wants to focus on the art side of making comics, then this is the course for you. It compresses the art lessons taught in the Comic Book Bootcamp Level I and Level II into one course. This class will be quite intensive and students should expect to be bombarded with information in each session. Due to Ty's schedule I'm not sure when this will be offered again, so please take advantage of the opportunity now. For FULL information on these workshops please go to our site at: http://www.cartoonistsworkshop.com Thank you for your interest in and support for the Toronto Cartoonists Workshop. If you have any questions please address them to me at info@cartoonistsworkshop.com or by calling 647-502-7605.

Friday, March 12, 2010 6th annual Doug Wright Awards awards @ TCAF!  George Sprott, and Aboriginal manga lead nominations for the 2010. March 12, 2010 Toronto -- Running the gamut from the acclaimed to the unconventional, the 15 finalists for this year's Doug Wright Awards were announced today in Toronto. Hand-picked by an esteemed panel of comics experts, the 2010 finalists represent the finest, most thought-provoking work produced by Canada's vibrant comics community. The shortlist contains works that explore diverse subjects, from the legendary life of Kasper Hauser and the fictional life (and death) of a fading TV host, and spans a range of formats, from wordless lino-cuts graphic novels to "manga" inspired by Western Canadian Haida mythology. The Doug Wright Awards finalists for Best Book are: Back + Forth by Marta Chudolinska (The Porcupine's Quill) George Sprott: (1894-1975) by Seth (Drawn and Quarterly) Hot Potatoe by Marc Bell (Drawn and Quarterly) Kaspar by Diane Obomsawin (Drawn and Quarterly) Red: A Haida Manga by Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas (Douglas and McIntyre) The Doug Wright Awards finalists for Best Emerging Talent are: Pascal Girard Nicolas (Drawn and Quarterly) John Martz It's Snowing Outside. We Should Go For a Walk. Sully The Hipless Boy (Conundrum Press) The finalists for the 2010 Pigskin Peters Award (for unconventional, "nominally-narrative" comics) are: Bebete Simon Bosse (L'Oie de Cravan) Dirty Dishes by Amy Lockhart (Drawn and Quarterly) Hot Potatoe by Marc Bell (Drawn and Quarterly) Never Learn Anything From History by Kate Beaton The Collected Doug Wright Volume One by Doug Wright (Drawn and Quarterly) Founded in 2004 (in a dimly lit Toronto bar) to celebrate the finest in English-language comics and graphic novels, The Doug Wright Awards have since evolved into one of North America's foremost comics awards and one of its most anticipated events. Wright Awards finalists defy easy categorization, and include past and present masters of the form and off-the-beaten-path newcomers alike, all vying for one of the most unique and coveted trophies in comics. This year's nominees were chosen by a five-member panel who chose from works released in the 2009 calendar year. The panel included: comics historian and author Jeet Heer; filmmaker Jerry Ciccoritti; cartoonist Chester Brown; Walrus comics blogger Sean Rogers, and; writer and Sequential.ca publisher Bryan Munn. The winners are chosen by a jury that includes cartoonists, writers, actors, directors, musicians and, on occasion, politicians. A featured event of the Toronto Comics Arts Festival (TCAF), the 2010 Doug Wright Awards ceremony will take place on Sat. May 8, at 7 pm at the Toronto Reference Library's new Bram & Bluma Appel Salon.

Saturday, February 20, 2010 MONCTON'S MONKEYTOWN COMIX JAM: FEB 22  What is the Monkeytown Comix Jam? A collaborative gathering of cartoonists & doodlers passing around comix pages. Everyone contributes a panel of words, drawings or both until the page is full! Pages are posted to our blog, and headed for possible publication in a Jam book! Jams are kid-friendly (accompanied by legal guardians) from 7pm to about 9pm. After that, we kind of become a bad influence what with the potty mouth and the questionable taste and stuff...

Friday, February 19, 2010 This Weekend: Con-G Anime Event, Guelph  The Guelph anime convention, Con-G (both a short form for "Convention Guelph" and a pun on the Japanese word "kanji" which means pictograms, I think --although "congee" is a rice porridge popular in many Asian cultures) takes place this weekend. Guests include webcomicker Lar deSouza, Doctor Holocaust, the 404s improv troupe, Savage Bandito, Solar Tempest, Stillvisions, Featherweight, and Hypersapiens. Back for year 2, Con-G is "being held at the Best Western Royal Brock Hotel & Conference Centre (same location, the hotel changed names shortly after Con-G 2009) on February 20 and 21. What's special about our convention? Guelph is an awesome location! We're currently the only convention west of Toronto [In Ontario], making us more convenient for people in London, Hamilton and the Tri-City area. The Best Western is located across from the university and near the centre of Guelph. It is easily accessed by bus or car. Finally, the convention takes place in February, at a time when there are few other anime conventions. For those that don't know, an anime convention is a place where anime enthusiasts come to share their love for anime and have a great time! There will be anime, themed games, dancing, vendors, discussions and much more. It's a great opportunity to meet people interested in the same things you are and discuss your favourite shows. Don't be intimidated! We welcome the young, the old, the casual anime enthusiast and the most hardcore fans. There's something for everyone."

TCAF: Call for Submissions, "New Narrative" Academic ConferenceOnce again, Andrew Lesk is organizing an academic conference on comics to coincide with the Toronto Comics Art Festival: 3rd annual New Narrative Conference: Narrative arts and visual media An Interdisciplinary Conference University of Toronto -- May 6-7, 2010 Keynote Speaker: Jeff Lemire (Tales of Essex County) In keeping with the spirit of sequels, we are again soliciting papers on a wide range of graphic novels, comic art, and related visual media. Comics, whether in the form of novelistic illustrations, newspaper serials, animated films, film adaptations, graphic novels, or sequential art narratives, have been with us since the rise of literature itself, yet until recently such media have never been considered "serious"-or at least, serious enough to be considered novels that might be on university syllabi. But are illustrated novels and live action films really about the pictures and not the narrative? How can the history of the form be reconciled with consumer culture and the ill-defined categories of "high" and "low" culture? Papers which examine and interpret these narratives in interdisciplinary forms are most welcome. Essays on novelistic illustrations, newspaper serials, animated films, film adaptations, graphic novels, or sequential art narratives may consider the following (incomplete) list: graphic novels and auto/biography -- illustrated and multi-media works -- web design and on-line comix -- film adaptations of comics -- series; engravings and caricatures -- the Comics Code Authority -- the "invention" of manga -- geopolitics/war and the graphic novel -- bande desinee & European comix - early comics & comic history -- illustrations in (literary) novels -- woodcut and "silent" artists. Proposals should be 400-500 words and must clearly indicate significance, the line of argument, principal texts considered, and relation to existing scholarship (or originality). One email copy of the proposal, and a 50 word bio note must be included, as an attachment in MS Word. This conference will take place just before the Toronto Comic Arts Festival, May 8 & 9. (See TorontoComics.com) Jeff Parker, Assistant Professor, and/or Dr. Andrew Lesk Department of English, University of Toronto E-mail: andrew[dot]lesk[at]utoronto[dot]ca See also http://andrewlesk.com/conferences.html DEADLINE for proposals: MARCH 31, 2010 (responses by April 08, 2010) Labels: comics criticism, comics history, comics in school, comics scholarship, events, Toronto - Stumble It! - Leave a comment!| 0comments - - we honor OpenID -

Tuesday, December 08, 2009 Indy Comic Book Week: December 30th  A few cartoonist acitivists have invented a new even to fill the gap in comic book stores during the last week of December: Indy Comic Book Week is not only an event, but also a call to action. Diamond Comic Distributors announced they will not ship any new comics for the last week of December. This company is the primary distributor of comic books in North America. What some would call a sad week without our favorite mainstream titles, we are calling an opportunity. This vacancy allows independent and small press comic book creators to claim this week as their own. We challenge writers and artists to self publish new material for this week, and offer it to their local stores. We ask for retailers to take this as an opportunity to showcase local independent talent on the new release shelves. We encourage fans to break from their buying habits and try something new. Raise your fist and proudly declare that comic books are more than an industry, more than a handful of corporations – it is a creative outlet for independent-minded artists and storytellers. This last week of 2009 belongs to you. Power to the people. Right on.

Despite plans to attend i missed it, but local writer and cartoonist Jack Ruttan [utopiamoment.ca] was there and has uploaded another impressive set of interviews and photos. We've collected the video into a playlist you wan watch bellow, along with the slide show of photos bellow that. Read Jack's musings about it on his site here. "Didn't I just do one of these in September? And then there was Expozine last month. So, many of these artist seemed like old friends. It was fun brandishing around my little Lumix DMC-FS3 and talking to artists. Sound was a little off (and some interviews are in French), but I think things are audible if you turn up the volume." In the playlist appears Convention organizers Oscar and Elizabeth. Eric Theriault, Isabelle Stephen, Michel Lacombe, Sid Vane and Gloria, Patrick Langlois, Troma, Jimmy Suzan, Fred Mahieu, Steph Dumais, Noumier Tawilah, Jipi McCloud, And Janardan.
