Upcoming festivals

Friends,

Forgive me for missing the newsletter last month, and the very chaotic and short one coming in this month.

I have truthfully been completely and totally burnt out, and when not making comics, scraping what little time I can towards other hobbies to feel as though there is some free/relax time in my life.

BUT, I'm sending this to you because I have one big festival coming up this weekend, and TCAF in a couple more weeks. Read ahead for more info!

Comics

The Death of Baba Yaga chapter 2 is done! Printed and everything. It's shorter than Chapter 1, which feels a little weird, but it's good as writers to not get stuck in this trap that each instalment should be longer than the last-- readers can sense filler [¹ 1].

Festivals

I've got two major festivals coming up.

Montreal May 23rd-25th

The Montreal Comic Arts Festival is THIS weekend (May 23rd-25th). I will be at tent E40 near St Denis and Gilford. It is a free, outdoor festival, so come check it out! Buy some of my comics and/or bring me an iced coffee the size of space.

Toronto June 7th + 8th

Shortly after that, you can find me at the Toronto Comic Arts Festival, June 7th and 8th at the Toronto Metropolitan University’s Mattamy Athletic Centre  (50 Carlton St).

What will I have there?

These two photos of my previous setup give you a good idea. But for some specifics:

• The 2nd printing of Preying Mantis!! My erotic thriller comic about a female serial killer murdering tech dudes and finding love along the way.

• The Death of Baba Yaga chapter 2!! Continuing my gothic western re-telling of Vasilisa the Beautiful.

• Risograph prints! Some Bloodborne inspired prints, and a Gale Dekarios from Baldur's Gate 3.

• Lots of stickers! Mostly Baldur's Gate, but also some femme fatale themed ones.

• Some other small prints and maybe some bookmarks. Who knows! I go kind of insane right before festivals and think about making a bunch of stuff and tiring myself out 😅

Recommendations

I definitely have way more recommendations, but so little time, so for now, I leave you with this song (embedded above, but linked here in case), which is so beautiful it makes me cry.

I promise to have more next newsletter!!!

1  I'm looking at you Brandon Sanderson, and numerous other fantasy writers.
