“That was one of my very few smart things I do sometimes. I payed for additional night in hotel and went sketching right after breakfast. Things I simply couldn’t do during my 3 days of Biennale du Carnet De Voyage…”

Hasta Siempre Juventud! Leave a comment
Just finished reading this graphic novel – and there is a full feature animation, too! Love story, just like Doctor Zhivago; in fact, it is like Cuban Doctor Zhivago thing; there is love that is predestined, and the lovers are constantly separated and it’s all very as I mentioned, predictable, it reminds you of all romantic classical movie plots, and it still a great treat!
Drawn and Quarterly: The Worst TCAF report on the internets

Oh my, oh my! I just love these guys – they not just publish a great reading pieces but they also fanny!
Drawn and Quarterly: The Worst TCAF report on the internets.
“People, DO ride the train from Montreal to Toronto with D+Q production manager Tracy Hurren, Monastiraki owner Billy Mavreas, and Mid-Life ink-stud Joe Ollmann. What fun! People, DO NOT go get beers with Andy Brown, Billy Mavreas, and Joe Ollmann as soon as you get off the train in Toronto because you will have to count in the books and that will be awful…
…And then you think, oh, I can get out of this place after 2 pints and here comes Tom Gauld, David Turgeon, Jimmy Beaulieu, and Pascal Girard”.
Exactly at that time we’ve brought to library our stiff (with Oleg Ti). But we’ve been home. We had a word to come back home early so we never met with D&Q at Pilot bar. There is always next time.

Exhausted we just got back from TCAF . This experience was pretty useful though. It was also very well organized event. And crowdy. Probably on official TCAF website or Facebook Page there’ll be soon statistic info, but it seems that in two days TCAF attended about 10000 viewers – no less! We were exhibitors and we even sold some books and postcards. Not much because our stories not for everyone – we missing the mainstream target group but educated readers like it.
Now have a look at some sketches we did during the show.
This is NOT Joan Sfar! It was just one nice person from the crowd.
The old man and the Real Book Lover. The Old Man tried to sell pictures by shooting artists with their books.
Nice Girl and Old Manga Fan.
My neighbors from the right tables – Jess Fink, Eric Feurstain and Oleg Ti.
Tony Cliff – my neighbor on the left table – signing his short bu fabulous graphic novel.
This girl tried to submit me her comics.
One very tall cyclist and cute hairdo.
Some years ago I was a huge fan of Michael Cherckas and his series “Silent Invasion”. It was a honor that famous coauthor of Silent Invasion series bought 3 our books.
The young crowd…
… and serious book lovers.
Also the array of other amazing books exhibited this time was simply abnormal. Basically we spent for new reading about the same amount of money we just earned. Eventually we going to tell about significant books we’ve got but not now. Have fun!
