Expozine 2008

Expozine is always an event best attended after a heavy brunch, as the sheer amount of people, books, zines, art tidbits and doohickeys are voluminous enough to guarantee you will never find Waldo amidst the calamity.

That said, it is also an uproariously good time, and this year was no exception, with perhaps the most solid line-up of vendors and artists I have seen yet.


Drawn & Quarterly were most pleased to be part of the action, which included a lively conversation between D+Q artist Pat Shewchuck and local animator Neely Goniodsky. Shewchuk and Marek Colek were on hand to sign their new Petit Livre, Pohadky, which had its official launch the night before.

Speaking of the D+Q Petit Livres series, Matthew Forsythe was also on hand signing at Expozine, and his recent D+Q book, Ojingogo proved to be one of the hits at the fair, this after months of local (and beyond) applause and acclaim. This engrossed reader is a clear example of how amazing Ojingogo is.


While this photo clearly shows how amazing Matthew is....


I forget what we were actually talking about, but he must have been offering me some serious advice on my general habits and life lessons. Just look at that furrowed brow...
