Updated - On The Road Again: Family Style Show Calendar for 2011
Sunday, February 27, 2011
This year Family Style is hitting the road again, with appearances at some further-flung shows than we've done in awhile! Here is a preliminary calendar of some of our upcoming shows, I'll of course update and post again as individual events approach and we add others!
Wonder Con (San Francisco) April 1-3
We have attended this miniaturized version of the San Diego Comic Con in Family Style's old home town often, but this will be our first year as exhibitors. Jonas will be representing Family Style at table #SP19, which we'll be sharing with the indomitable Kane Lynch. Family Style will have some very cool new stuff: Jonas' cover story in Papercutter (!!!) and Bird Brain #5!
Stumptown Comics Fest (Portland) April 16-17
This is Family Style's new official hometown show, so we'll be there in force. We'll be sharing our space with the fantastic Julia Gfrörer. Premiering at this show: Elfworld Vol. 2, #2, including comics from Dylan Horrocks, Daria Tessler, Jeremey Tinder, and more! Stay tuned for more info.
TCAF (Toronto, CANADA) May 7-8
Yay! We are so proud to have been selected for the Toronto Comics Art Festival! We've heard so much good stuff about TCAF, we're delighted to be attending for the first time. We have some secret projects that might be ready for this show... again, I'll keep you posted!
*We are super sorry to have to back out of TCAF this year due to financial constraints. We're hoping to go next year.
Chicago Comic Con August 11-14
I've been asked to be a Guest at this con! What!?! Should be really fun, I (Francois) lived in Chicago for a few years, and this will be a great chance to re-connect with old pals and all those genius Chicago cartoonists (including a bevy of Elfworld contributors, old and new: Jeffrey Brown, Grant Reynolds, and Jeremy Tinder).
San Francisco Zine Fest September 3-4
These dates haven't been officially announced yet, but the SF Zine Fest is likely returning to its Labor Day Weekend slot again this year. This is the 10th anniversary of the Fest, and we at Family Style have been heavily involved in running the show for more than half of that time, so we will be there with bells on!
APE (San Francisco) October 22-23
We'll be back in SF one more time this year for APE, where we always have a great time. I don't know if I mentioned it in this blog before, but the 2010 APE was a vast improvement on the previous year, so we have high hopes for this year! Premiering at the show: Elfworld #3! We'll also be hosting another "Tales" indy-fantasy reading to celebrate, this time at Mission: Comics and Art! This should be a really, really fun weekend!
OryCon (Portland Fantasy/Sci-Fi Convention!) November 11-13
Finally, we'll be wrapping the year up with an appearance at OryCon, a long-running Portland sci-fi/fatasy con. We're hoping that we can reach a new audience for Elfworld, and I think the show will be a lot of fun, too! I am a long-time fantasy fan and I've never been to a dedicated fantasy con, looking forward to it.
