I’m heading back to Ol’ Miss (Toronto, of course) for the Toronto Comic Arts Festival this weekend!

On Saturday at 1:30 PM, Ryan North and I will be hosting a Machine of Death drawing game panel, featuring Meredith Gran, KC Green, Carly Monardo and Christopher Hastings!

( Here is the blurb on the TCAF website with info about the venue )

TCAF is one of my favorite shows, not least because it’s FREE to attend. Come on up to the Toronto Reference Library and say hello! I’ll be on the second floor.

HERE’S WHAT HAPPENED THE LAST TIME WE DID THIS PANEL

“Two Chips” by Adam Patch. [Video link]

“My wife drank a bottle of wine, then wanted to tell me a joke.”

“Finally my 2nd Calarts film is completed! I wanted to make something that focuses on how meaningful it is to make food for someone you love.”

I LOVE THESE BOTH

Here are a few of the Roll-a-Sketch drawings I did in Calgary over the weekend! First up, PIRANHA + CAVEMAN:

KNIGHT + CACTUS:

INSECT + TURTLE + DOCTOR + GIRAFFE:

And of course, PLATYPUS + SHARK:

If you’re in the Toronto area, I’ll be there for TCAF in two weeks! Come get a unique drawing of your very own, I DARE YA

I’m in Calgary all weekend at the Comics Expo! Come say hello at the TopatoCo booth (#922/1022).

Pick up a free Machine of Death convention-exclusive game card, or grab yourself a Roll-a-Sketch or a copy of the newest Wondermark book, Emperor of the Food Chain.

Hope to see you there!
