I’d like to invite those who live in or around the Dallas area, to come and check out the Industry Giants symposium on June 5th and 6th. On June 6th at 3:30pm, I will give a presentation on the making of our work-in-progress video game, Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet. I promise to show lots of gameplay footage.
I will also be signing books and comics on June 5th in the artist alley section. For more info, check out the official website.
Inspired by folks like Flight‘s own Kazu Kibuishi, I’ve put together a step-by-step guide to how I make a page of Cavemen in Space! This covers a lot of ground that has been brought up from time to time around the Flight Forums and elsewhere, so I thought somebody might find it interesting. Take a look!
The Toronto Comic Arts Festival is about to get underway this weekend, from May 9-10! It will be held at the Toronto Reference Library (as seen in Scott Pilgrim 2!), and the best part? It’s FREE for the public! So really, there’s no excuse not to drop by and check it out!
This year’s honoured guests include Emmanuel Guibert, Scott McCloud, Bryan Lee O’Malley, Paul Pope, Yoshihiro Tatsumi, and many, many more. Past and present Flight contributors that will be at the show include:
Graham Annable
Scott C
Svetlana Chmakova
Becky Cloonan
Matt Forsythe
Derek Kirk Kim
John Martz
Erika Moen
Ryan North

TCAF-related events have already started happening around the city tonight! Full details of the events running in conjunction with the festival itself are available at the TCAF website. Hope to see you there!
Tomorrow (Saturday, May 2) is Free Comic Book Day! What this means, if you’re in North America, is that your local participating comic book store will be giving away FREE comics! Who doesn’t like free comics?
Some of your local comic book stores will also be hosting some cartoonists, including Flight contributors like Joey Weiser and myself (and even if you’re not in the area, try asking your local comic book store for COMICS FESTIVAL, which contains all-new stories by the likes of Matt Forsythe, Ryan North, John Martz, and me!), who will be available for signings, sketches, and general chit-chat! So stop on by and make sure to grab some free comics!
