- TCAF 2010 recap
- 14 May 2010

Despite the fact that the weather last weekend resembled an icy monsoon, TCAF 2010 was bigger and better than ever. A big Trio Magnus thank you to everyone who came by our table and picked up our book and prints. Thanks also to everyone who bought my new book!
We saw lots of old friends and met some new ones, including Erik Jerezano of the Z'otz Collective, cool art teacher Tom Galambos, photographer Hitoshi Murakami and a host of fantastic illustrators including Marc Tessier, Hyein Lee, Jeremy Kai and Andrew Foerster.
As always, I was tempted to spend every single cent I made on the reams of fabulous books and comics for sale at the festival. Some of my favourite purchases included Pobody's Nerfect (another Koyama Press project) by Wowee Zonk, As Above So Below by Will Sweeney, The Troll King by Kolbeinn Karlsson, Hot Potatoe by Marc Bell, and last but not least, KENK by Alex Jansen, Jason Gilmore, Nick Marinkovich and Richard Poplak. And congrats to Michael Deforge for winning the Doug Wright Award for best emerging talent via his comic LOSE #1, published by Koyama Press. Big ups all around!
Note: in the photo below, a very lumberjacky-looking Steve Manale somehow replaced Cton in what was supposed to be a shot of Trio Magnus...
