Profiling Cloudscape Comics

The past couple of weeks, the Fabler Blog featured interviews with Vancouver-based webcomickers Jonathon Dalton (www.jonathondalton.com) and Angela Melick (www.wastedtalent.ca).

In addition to their close proximity to Canada’s Western Coastline, they share something else in common; founding membership in a comic book collective by the name of Cloudscape Comics.

I was fortunate enough to recently connect with a few individuals involved with the group. My goal was to learn a little about what they do, what they stand for, and how local comic creators can benefit from collaborating through a collective like their own.

Artist Interview: Colleen MacIsaac

The Fabler interviews Colleen macIsaac, indie illustrator, minicomic creator, and animator of short films extraordinaire!

Speaking of the extraordinary, it does occur to me that un-extraordinary is the same as ordinary. Ordinary just didn’t fit with the context. Ahem.

Profiling Jesse Jacobs of Blue Winter, Shapes in the Snow and One Million Mouths

The Fabler Blog talks to Jesse Jacobs, recent winner of the Gene Day Award for Canadian Self-Publishing for his minicomic, Blue Winter, Shapes in the Snow.

An independent self-publisher in the truest sense of the term, Jesse has also gained some recognition for his comic strip One Million Mouths, which up until a few mouths ago was a recurring feature in Halifax newspaper the Coast.

Jesse talks about winning the award, drawing Richie Rich as a kid, and shares some details about his latest as-of-yet-unnamed minicomic.
