Midnight doodle. A version of a character of mine from high school flopped out of my pen when I wasn’t looking. Dane Martin’s influence shows in his shape and eyes.

You can now buy the paper version of the monchrome interior/2-color cover Riso-printed Ed Choy Draws James Joyce, with a free digital version that you get instantly upon purchase; OR you can buy the digital version alone for cheap.

around TCAF. I forgot I’d done it and looked it up.

Royal Ontario Museum, post-TCAF:

-model of a 16th-century Chinese city

-anxiety doodle I did to avoid looking at taxidermied animals

I love looking at dioramas of taxidermied animals, but when they’re in glass cases, cabinet of curiosities-style, it terrifies me. I didn’t realize that those dioramas seem to be a US-specific innovation. Thanks to Corrinne Mucha and Jeremy Sorese for literally walking me through my freakout.

Toronto’s City Hall ice rink and custodian, and adjacent Churchill statue, with no sculptor named anywhere that I could see. Pre-TCAF.

and you’re okay with doing so, please email me a photo of it at edchoy (at) edsdeadbody.com.
I intended those drawings to be only for the reader and that’s part of what made them good, but now I wish I had a record of them!

You can find me at TCAF at table 137, at the island by the entrance, with Jeremy Sorese, with and courtesy of 2D Cloud, who are debuting the anthology Little Heart that JS and I both appear in. I contributed “Roosterlegs,” a collaboration with Sam Sharpe about R., a genderqueer trans* tween and their journey at the library. I’m bringing ‘Ed Choy Draws James Joyce’ (see above), my Jim Henson book ‘Stitching Together,’ and my zine for young artists on creativity & anxiety, ‘Dear Echo.’

I do the “New, Exciting, and Queer” panel with some very cool artists and Raighne from 2DC on Saturday at the Pilot Tavern at 22 Cumberland St around the corner from the fest. I don’t know if there’s an age limit to getting in since it’s at a bar; if you’re under 18 and you’re there, you know Canadian drinking laws better than me:
3:15 – 4:15 – “New, Exciting, and Queer” This year at TCAF, as part of our queer programming, we spotlight the release of two important anthologies of queer comics that will be debuting at the festival! The books Little Heart and The Letter Q will make their debut, and this panel will discuss these ground-breaking anthologies and the general state of queer comics publishing. With Maurice Vellekoop, Emily Carroll, Lucy Knisley and Raighne Hogan. Moderator: Jose Villarrubia

Note: I’m not in the original description on TCAF’s site because I had a communication hiccup with events coordinator Gina Gagliano, who was nice enough to invite me but I didn’t know that until I saw her at MoCCA last weekend.

See you soon!
