TCAF 2010 Brandon Bird Interview
Brandon Bird’s unique pop culture art style frequently consists of taking well known figures and putting them in unexpected scenarios, or presenting them in an unexpected style. At TCAF this year, Alex had a chance to talk to Bird about comic style art, Law and Order, and Nicolas Cage.
Read MoreNew Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World trailer & on-set interview
Yesterday, the second trailer for Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World was released after Edgar Wright had decided to withhold its premiere until his Twitter campaign reaped a desired 100,000 ‘likes’ on Facebook. It was a little disappointing to find out that he was clamouring for ‘likes’ on a site that many people have moved on from. And, naturally, the cynic in me suspected that, even if the goal hadn’t been met, the trailer would have come out all the same. This trailer gives us a much better look at the…

Read Morergbfilter @ TCAF 2010: Kick-off Event – Daniel Clowes presents Wilson
We went to the Daniel Clowes presents Wilson event on Friday night, where Mark Medley, arts writer from the National Post, sat down with Daniel, and talked with him at length about his career, art, and Wilson (his new graphic novel). Some interesting info I learned was that he created art for an animated Ramones video, and there was the short-lived ‘OK’ Cola created by Coca Cola, that featured his artwork on the can. He also mentioned that while he still pencils, inks, and letters everything by hand, he now…

Unlike other comic conventions, like the Toronto Fan Expo and San Diego Comic-con for example, TCAF does not focus on the big names (Marvel, DC etc.), nor is it full of aging actors from old…
