I spent an hour at the Owl table sketching mermaids and monsters for kids and parents.

Then I did a talk on sound effects, BAM!

I was lucky enough to have my friend and Frank Pickle author Eric Wight join me for the presentation. We challenged audience members to give us sound effects to illustrate. My toughest one was Fooshkumi, which I decided was the sound you hear when you summon a genie.

The place was packed the balloons let you know this isn’t a comic convention, but a comic festival!

This was the piece I had in the Strip Search show they had in conjunction with the show. They asked us to draw something on the Toronto Comics Art Festival, so I applied them all to dinosaurs. Toronto is represented by the Raptors logo. Comics by the T-Rex from Ryan North’s Dinosaur Comics. Art by the fact that its a drawing. Festival by the pizza stegosaurus.

I drew people’s Personalized Awesome Spirit Animals again. Before the show I warmed up by drawing some of the organizers.

I’ll be there sketching, selling prints and comics and even doing a couple talks.  On Saturday 1:30-2:15 I’ll be in the Novella Room, explaining Sound Effects with Eric Wight. I’m apparently doing a talk on the professional development Friday too, but I’m still waiting to hear on a time. I’ll also be at the OwlKids table signing from 12:30-1:00 on Saturday. Otherwise you can find me on the main floor. Here’s a sample of some of the images I’ll have as prints.

And another Doctor Who mashup. Dalek/R2D2, Cyberman/C3Po
