The Anthology Project is an effort to showcase the diverse talent pool belonging to a group of friends and collaborators across the country. They put out… yes, an Anthology!- collecting 15 extremely well illustrated stories from the book’s contributors (who mostly consist of graduates from Alberta College of Art and Design and Sheridan College). The Fabler Blog caught up with Nick Thornborrow, co-editor and one of the contributors, to talk about the project.

Marta Chudolinska put together a 90 page graphic novel entirely out of linocuts. If that’s not impressive, I’ll eat my hat.
Back + Forth, the graphic novel in question, also made the Doug Wright Award shortlist for Best Book this year.
I talked to Marta about her thoughts regarding the nomination, her favorite comics, and Roland Barthes.
First, there’s nothing wrong with Urology. It just has nothing to do with comics.
Second, this post features Aaron Leighton – who is in fact NOT a comic artist, but does produce a lot of really swell, unique, and innovative art professionally.

Gibson Twist is an eloquent fellow who writes comic books for online distribution. Sometimes, as with Pictures of You, he also illustrates them.
You should probably get to know Gibson a bit better. Luckily for you, this happens to be a post profiling him. What chance! What fortune! What stroke of fate!… etc.
Really though, Gibson is a pretty darn rad artist/writer, and you would be remiss not to check out his work.

Another featured Fabler! New Zealander Andrew Johnson chatted with the Fabler about his work in comics, with a specific focus on his web-based comic about a future dystopia, Kingdom.
Winnipeg-based artist Doug Wheatley talks to The Fabler about his work on Star Wars: Dark Times, his ambitions for the future, and why illustrating Star Wars comics is more time-intensive than illustrating almost any other title in the medium.
Also featuring a never-before-seen preview panel from Star Wars: Dark Times issue #15.
