The Vancouver Comic Arts Festival (VanCAF) is this weekend and I’ll be there! And I’m bringing a bunch of fun new stuff with me. I’ll be debuting a little book of my favourite cat comics (shown above with a sleeping Watson), and I’m bringing new locally-made buttons (shown below) and t-shirts!

Admission is free and there will be events all day Saturday and Sunday, including a panel discussion that I’m hosting, called “Breaking Into Comics” on Sunday May 26 at noon. I am fortunate to have the following talented guests on the panel: Ed Brisson, Jason Turner, Jesse Davidge, and Lucy Bellwood. We’ll be talking about how we all got started in this crazy comics business, and hopefully our stories will give you some ideas.

If you’re in Vancouver, I hope you can make it to VanCAF – it looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun!

Update: Here’s a link to a recording of the Breaking Into Comics session!
