Event: Toronto Comic Arts Festival May 1, 2009

Tagged: Uncategorized

Me and Shannon will be at TCAF to debut the first issue of our Sword of My Mouth, the follow-up to my and Salgood’s Therefore Repent! graphic novel (which had an awesome debut at the last TCAF). It’s already gotten a couple nice reviews (here and here at minute 42 or so) so I’m looking forward to seeing what people think in person! Plus, Shannon will have some of the art from the book available for the event as silkscreened prints, and believe me, she knows a thing or two about silkscreening (google it if you doubt me). Need more incentive? TCAF is one of the best comic fests in the world, it’s free and it’s at a huge downtown library this year. Check it out!

I'm Jim Munroe, a novelist who left HarperCollins to showcase and propagate indie press alternatives to Rupert Murdoch-style consolidation. This site is a launching pad for the stuff I make, articles about how to make them, and a source of my two main food groups: inspiration and feedback. Want more details on my methods and work? Check here. Upcoming personal appearances, if any, are listed below, with previous appearances archived here.

In a blow against boring readings, DIY Book podcaster and SF novelist Hamish Macdonald blogged about handing out fake airline tickets to his audience members.

The author of the very funny Nedroid comics has put up an amazing tute for colouring comics, including lighting. If you've hit a wall in your Photoshop-fu training, this might help you vault it.

Hamish Macdonald, the author of one of the most comprehensive (and popular, with 200+ comments) articles on this site describing his method of bookmaking has started a DIY Book podcast.

The excellent political science fiction conference, Think Galacticon, has just announced the dates for the next one, June 26 - June 28 2009. Started from a reading group in Chicago's Wicker Park and inspired by the 30 years running feminist SF con Wiscon, they were nice enough to feature me as one of the guests of honour at their first one. They're a welcoming and multi-faceted bunch, and unlike a lot of cons they've got a location right in the heart of the city so it's easy to check out Chicago as well.

John August's website is full of great scriptwriting how-to articles, an interesting post-mortem on his Sundance-buzzed lo-fi sci-fi movie, and a very funny post-apocalypse sitcom webisode.
