TCAF in sketches
by matt
The Toronto Comics Festival was awesome. Best comics show I’ve ever been to.
I didn’t bring my camera, but here are some sketches from the show by artists I love.
I shared a table with, Johnny Martz. We had a blast. He did this Ojingogo sketch in his Machine Gum book for me:

Wolvie, by Bryan Lee O’Malley -

A glimpse of … God? by Rebecca Kraatz. I bought her book, House of Sugar, this weekend too. I’ve already read the whole thing online, but I needed a print copy.

An Ojingogo sketch by James Jean. I’m speechless.

Hope Larson’s book sketch. (She actually used a W+N brush and a bottle of ink for this).

All awesome. First I gotta sleep. Then I gotta buy some frames.

Wow. I haven’t seen Paul Pope since Buzz Buzz. I really wish I could have made it. I changed my mind the week before.
Thanks so much for sharing this.
So, are these are done on the inside of books you picked up at the fest? Is this the norm for book signings in the comic biz?
Inside books. Or on pieces of paper. Whatever’s around, really.
Wow! Hope’s angel is beautiful!
