How You Draw: How Does Art Affect Story?
Saturday, May 8th, 9:30 – 10:15am, Learning Center 1
People make comics to tell stories. But how are those stories affected by the art style they’re told in? What are the ways that art style change the content, audience, and storytelling for a comic? Do artists choose their style, or does their style choose them? Featuring Dave Roman, Salgood Sam, Jim Rugg, James Turner, and Abby Denson. Moderated by Walter Dickinson.

Comics in Strange Places
Saturday, May 8th, 12:45 – 1:30pm, Learning Center 1
Everyone’s talking about their new graphic novel these days. But you can find comics in other places than books — newspapers, magazines, textbooks, and on the internet. How does the multiplicity of forms of presentation for comics affect their format and context? Featuring cartoonists Frank Cammuso, Chip Zdarsky, Danielle Corsetto, and Abby Denson. Moderated by MK Reed.

And to get you extra excited, Toronto’s National Post has been profiling TCAF guests and here is my profile, but please do read them all!

I came across this great Dolltopia review (4.5 stars!) at Cherrie, an Australian site for lesbians and queer women. Here’s a snippet-

“I love everything about this book, especially the title. Have you ever wondered what would happen if the dolls fought back?”

Dolltopia just got a fantastic review on Newsarama! Click to read!

“All in all “Dolltopia” is pretty great read. It manages to be joyfully cutesy, funny and sweet while also being thoughtfully deep and intelligent. This is the mark of a great creator, someone who can skirt the line between an almost child-like writing voice and a high-brow social commentator.”

Afterellen.com ran a great feature on Dolltopia! Click to read!

Check it out! Dolltopia was name-checked in National Mail for LG Fashion Week coverage!

“The pink in question is actually magenta - the whole palette, in fact, black white and fuchsia. They’re the shades of safe, parent-sanctioned teenage rebellion, of more girly Emily Strange, of Avril Lavigne’s Black Star perfume, of Abby Denson’s superb new grrrl-power-through-fashion graphic novel Dolltopia, of rockabilly punk pin-ups in polka-dots. “
