Paper Peril

Hello Everyone! I’ve just completed my packing and last-minute checks of my luggage before I leave for my flight to Toronto tomorrow morning, so here’s some photos of the books Saph and myself will be selling at TCAF!

Saph’s book, @venturer.com, is pretty thick (almost 60+ pages if I remember correctly) and in full colour, and will be going for 10 CND a book. My books on the other hand are monotone will be sold at 4 CND (Across The Causeway, The Road Not Taken) and 6 CND (Across The Causeway 2) respectively.

We’re located at Booth 214, so please give us some love if you’ll be headed to the Toronto Reference Library this weekend!

…Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a 22 hour flight to look forward to! See you at TCAF!

Here’s the coloured cover for the second print run of my self-published journal comic compilation I released mid-2012, remastered exclusively for TCAF.

I keep a comic journal about my life flitting between Malaysia and SIngapore, and it was only last year that I decided that I had enough material to make into a book, so I took a chance and did.

If you’re wondering what the contents are like, here are some sample pages plucked from this tumblr: 1 2 3 4

It’s 40 pages thick and going at 4 CND a pop! Do drop by my booth at TCAF if you’re going, I love meeting new people!

Now that the last hurdle has been cleared (Visa received!), I guess it’s safe to post this particular entry…and I’m going to just say it here to make it official: I’M GOING TO TCAF!

The original plan was for Saph and I was to go on a trip to Toronto, Canada, that would coincide with TCAF…but somewhere along the way Saph asked me to try my luck and apply for a booth.

I honestly never thought that I’d make it through the selection process (since the number of applicants increase every year!) so you can only imagine my (belated) elation when I received my booth confirmation e-mail (note: I was in the lab when I read the e-mail so I had to suppress my urge to run around in circles while screaming until lunchtime).

So yeah, if you happen to be a Torontoian (does that term exist?) or will be at TCAF, do drop by my booth! Even if it’s just to say hello!

I’m still in the process of putting together my book, but I’ll definitely be posting up more stuff in the days leading up to TCAF! /goes back to editing pages
