Wolves In The Throne Room!

Awesome show yesterday in Toronto. 4 great bands, headliners the amazing Wolves In the Throne Room. We bought a song from them a few years back as a soundtrack for the animated film we are presently working on this summer in the woods. It was great to see them live, say hi and give them a copy of our book.
Thank you Wolves!

TCAF!!!!TCAF is fantastic!

We spent last weekend at the Toronto Comic Arts Festival, held at the Toronto Reference library. We were there with posters, prints and our Drawn&Quarterly book POHADKY. The festival was amazing! Christopher Butcher and Peter Birkemoe, the festival's directors and founders did a fantastic job. The venue, the Toronto Reference library, was perfect, and guests included some of the top creators in the field from Japan and Europe. It was inspiring- we met tons of nice people, stocked up on some awesome books, and our table was in a excellent spot beside some really fantastic table mates.
Thanks very much to all who came by to say hi, we had a great time and we're looking forward to TCAF 2011!

busy month! back to TO, back to the Island

So, April was a very busy month- crazy work schedule and deadlines, but the upshot is that we've rented another place on the Island, and will be there until end of Sept. Yah! We spent a few days in Vancouver before heading back East, and we fell in love with the city's proximity to nature. VANCOUVER RULES!

Last year in Toronto, I recalled looking at google maps, and how close Vancouver seemed to be to the mountains. With that idea vaguely in mind, we set off on a random run from Stanley Park, and asked people along the way for general directions/ideas.

We started here, in Stanley Park.....


and ran here....


and over this bridge.....


ran up this road.....



saw these pretty flowers....


and arrived here! Capilano River Regional Park/ Cleveland Damn! We were amazed, we didn't expect such an incredible vista, so close to the city.


Inside the park- awesome trails, rushing river.
yah, Vancouver we heart u.
