WTF TCAF




The ink is still wet on the Toronto Comic Arts Festival weekend [TCAF]. It was my first time and I have to admit that I am already completely devoted to a comic artist. My heart belongs to Sock Monkey by Tony Millionaire. So I was hard to please, and worried about the fashion that may surround such an event. Was hoping for some manga characters dancing around...oh well not the case. But the comic book uniform lives on. Knee socks, tennis shoes, slogan t-shits with comic or graphic prints, pig-tails and short mini skirts for the gals.

I was drawn to the art work by British artist Tom Gauld, and work by Steve Wilson [Ghostmilk Studios]. Met a cute gal who works in comic industry Emily Ragossino aka Dorkgirl [see photo of gal in knee socks]. It was an interesting day out in the city. Get outside or get comic. Be a dork! or draw.
