I'll be on a panel with Ken and our son Alex at this convention on the weekend!

I finally finished this short story I've been working on for a while. I'm posting two pages a day from my first proof copy on instagram.com/joansteacy . It has 54 pages but because I'm taking pictures of each page using my iPhone the images are aren't perfect. I wanted to share my book to see what people think. I haven't submitted it to a publisher yet.  

 

 

Ken and I went to the San Diego Comic Con last summer, 

here are a few images. We hadn't been to this event in 

almost 20 years and it's grown to one hundred and fifty 

thousand people!! 

This show is the biggest international show in the world. 

Also the swag bags are the biggest as you can see!

 Sorry for the long silence... In the summer I spend more time outdoors rather than on my computer.  Maybe now I'll get back to posting a few things... when I'm not so distracted.

The image above is Joe Ollman (who is an amazing graphic novelist) interviewing me last June at the Hamilton Cartoon Foundry. Unfortunately I don't have a recording. I really enjoyed talking with Joe, he made me feel at ease with his conversational stye of interview. I also found out he grew up from where I grew up in Waterdown!

I'm having technical difficulties. I can't seem to access my photos... I haven't posted in while so not sure what's up. Anyway, Im off to the big ComicCon in San Diego this week and hopefully be able to post photos of that, when I figure this thing out.  Sorry for the inconvenience. 

I'm so happy this event is happening in Hamilton at the central library. Below is the old building, featured in my graphic memoir Scrappy Jack. The new library is part of the Jackson Square now. The old building still exists. Many years ago my dad use to frequent that library regularly, as a young boy. How appropriated I'll be presenting his story book there...

I will have a table and have my graphic novel Aurora BoreAlice and Scrappy Jack for sale. I'll also be interviewed by Joe OlImann at 11:30. I'm looking  forward to being a part of this Cartoon Foundry event. Hope to see you their!

 

I had fun at my book launch at Legends best comic and book store ever! That's Gareth the owner and cartoonist extraordinaire!!
