#online canzine

[blam-marie]

Has anyone been waiting to get their hands on one of my zines or comics? If so, you’re in luck!! I am going to be a vendor during ONLINE CANZINE on May 5 to 11, 2023!

During the event, I will be selling print copies of Kalipso #1, The Printer Whisperer, and Snapshots from the Sea, as well as digital copies of all of my novels and zines. 

According to the Broken Pencil magazine: “Marie’s embrace of the fantastic as normal makes for fun and compelling tension” and “despite the feat of confining the stories to just 100 words apiece, it’s hard not to want them to spool on into larger tales”

p.p.s. Thanks to everyone who came to visit at TCAF and Anime North! :D  I had a blast at both events and it was great to see friends and meet you all!  Next event will be Tomo arts market (Aug 5) and Canzine if I get in.  I was not able to get into Otakuthon this year so I will be staying in Toronto.

hey y'all!

✍️I'm participating in the online canzine festival this year! (apr 13-21)✍️

If you want a digital copy of a zine with comics about these two friends, there's going to be a new mini comic in it!

Hello!

Hope it's going well. I'm taking part in Broken Pencil's online zine festival Canzine from April 13-21, 2024, where you will be able purchase zines from a large number of vendors and have them shipped together from the organizers. The organizers are based in Canada, but since this event is online, there's a lot of international people that can participate as well.

I have number of self-published zines/doujinshi that feature Tadashi x Ainosuke at the event. I recently completed a new 28 page comic that will be available, and will come with a bonus postcard as a thank you gift. Please note that all the prices are in CAD.

Hey, you!

Are you a fan of zines? Do you love cats? Want to support an independent queer artist?

My little sister is an online vendor for Canzine 2024 -- the largest zine festival in Canada! You can purchase her zine "Cats of Toronto" on the festival website from April 13 - 21.

And if you enjoy her art style, I recommend checking out her temporary online store, where you can purchase prints and stickers from her art series "Of Divine Origin," which puts an LGBTQIA+ spin on various myths, fairy tales, and supernatural creatures.

Thank you for helping my sister get her name out there!

I have several exciting events coming up this month!

2024 Spring Canzine

Where: Online!

When: April 13 to 21

Broken Pencil's virtual Canzine features creators from Canada, and around the world. I love these events because you can check out and support work from multiple indie creators, and only have to worry about one shipping fee. I'm always so impressed by the behind-the-scenes coordination that makes this possible! 

All my Now Recharging comics are going to be available at a discount from their usual prices in my online store, because everything will be in CAD instead of USD, and I'm not changing my prices! (Ah, our Canadian dollar.) Also they'll be able to ship to more countries than just Canada and the US!

(Psst, I'm also going to be running a Canzine special for my Lenormand oracle deck and my Genjimonogari art deck during the full festival time period! Stay tuned for more info when Canzine starts!)

You can see the full list of vendors here!

Momiji Spring Market April 2024

Where: 3555 Kingston Road, Scarborough Ontario

When: Saturday April 27 from 11 am to 4pm

Momiji Health Care Society is hosting a Spring Market, full of local artists, crafters, and makers! Momiji events are in a beautiful space, and always have the best food. The venue is a seniors' care centre so please aim to mask for the safety of all!

Well, I absolutely did not expect it to take an entire year from exp. 2600 to the next issue, but such is life, honestly. Either way I'm terrifically pleased to announce that exp. 2601 will be debuting this weekend as part of Spring Online Canzine 2024, Canada's premiere zine festival running April 13th to 21st. 

This issue covers the eleven games released for the Atari 2600 in 1978, with essays on Space Invaders and the year 1978 to provide context. Even if you're not particularly interested in the Atari 2600, I think there's a lot in here for anyone interested in video games and their history, so I hope you'll check it out.

As with the first issue, exp. 2601 is being published in a signed, numbered limited edition of 52 and I'm also making it available as a PDF and ebook for people who don't want a little object, but still want something to read on an iPad or a Kindle with a bit more focus than they'd give to a webpage.

I am opening pre-orders here today, in advance of Canzine, so I can announce the issue with enough time to ensure subscribers know about it and are aware that they automatically receive 35% off in our ko-fi shop (including on new issues.) It's just $1 per month to become a subscriber, and you'll also get new articles a week early (as well as regular exclusive articles.) Physical copies will be sent out in the last week of April, with digital copies arriving as soon as Canzine begins.

In addition, and not to bury the lede here, for the first time since 2020 my ebook collecting the best of the original run of exp., exp. negatives, is also available for pre-order today, and will be on sale during, and only during, Spring Online Canzine 2024 (to reiterate: April 13th-21st).

If you don't have any of my available digital publications (exp. 2600, 2601, and negatives) I have also made a bundle of all three available for pre-order with a $2 discount for all (and if you're a subscriber, that stacks with your discount!)

I'd like to thank everyone reading this for their support across the years and let you know that there are more exciting things in the pipeline for exp. this year. Did you know it's been ten years since I started Every Game I've Finished? That fact might become important...

Announcing TCAF 2021!

After a challenging year, we’re so excited to announce the Toronto Comic Arts Festival (TCAF) is back — with a virtual twist! Free of the shackles of corporeal existence, TCAF’s marketplace will have more days than ever before, and include a week of on-demand programming. Comic and art lovers can visit TCAF 2021 online any time between May 8-15, 2021, to peruse and shop hundreds of exhibitors’ amazing works, sit in on classic Q&As, workshops, talks, and so much more!

Our new exhibition website is being made in partnership with Canzine (the festival of zines) and the Toronto Hand Eye Society. Zinesters and indie video game creators will be among our 600 virtual exhibitors in May.

If you want to exhibit at TCAF 2021, fill out this form by March 3, 2021:

CLICK HERE TO APPLY

Applicants will have the choice to apply for TCAF, Canzine OR Comics x Games. Accepted exhibitors will have a customizable online shop page where they can upload up to 5 items for sale. After TCAF, exhibitors will send all sold items to a warehouse, where orders will be bundled and shipped off to shoppers. This process is to help save exhibitors and visitors excess transaction and shipping fees. There will be options to include additional products.

More details will come on Twitter @torontocomics, on our website at www.torontocomics.com, and at canzine.ca.

FAQ

❥ When and where is TCAF?

The Toronto Comic Arts Festival 2021 will take place virtually May 8-15, 2021.

❥ Do I need to live in Toronto to take part?

Nope. International exhibitors are welcome!

❥ So, how does this work for me?

If accepted, you will have an online profile store page along with hundreds of other cartoonists in a shared marketplace. After the exhibition is closed, we will send you a report of all the items you’ve sold and you will ship those items to a centralized location. From there, our third-party warehouse will ship compiled orders to our happy customers.

❥ Why the additional item fees?

The additional fees will cover the costs of shipping, handling, and transactions. To save costs for exhibitors and visitors, shipping will be handled by a third-party warehouse. After the event, exhibitors will send all of their sold items to the warehouse to mail out to shoppers. This will save exhibitors and visitors quite a bit on shipping costs; however, this service comes with associated costs, hence the fees for additional items.

❥ Why the different registration costs between TCAF and Canzine?

The different registration costs reflect the difference in products and audiences. TCAF exhibitors sell (relatively) higher-priced items that are heavier (e.g. books) and tend to sell at higher volumes. Canzine exhibitors sell low-cost items (e.g. 16-page zine) that are lighter and tend to sell at lower volumes.

❥ I was accepted to TCAF in 2020 but didn’t get to exhibit because of the pandemic. You said we’d be at the next TCAF? What’s the deal?

If you were accepted to TCAF in 2020, you can either defer to this year or defer to 2022. If you apply to TCAF 2021, we will assume that you are taking your deferral to this year. Please include that you were accepted into TCAF 2020 in the “Anything else we should know?” section.

❥ How do collectives and publishers apply?

Unlike past years, we are asking for a single application from collectives and publishers. If you’re a collective, please

include a list of all members of your application. If you’re a publisher, please include authors you are planning on featuring with your application.

If you have additional questions, please email registration@torontocomics.com.

I’m so excited! Canzine starts tomorrow! This is one of my fave zine/indie creator events, and it’s taking place online from Oct 22-25, 2021. All the sections are food-themed this time around, and you can find me at Fry Fest 👀🍟 

Above are some previews of what I'm gonna have there! Once again they're making this a consolidated storefront, which means that you can order from lots of creators and not have to deal with separate shops/shipping. This will never cease to be amazing to me because the creators are from all over the place - it's so much work to pull this off, and there's so much vibrant indie goodness you'll probably never find in a big store elsewhere, online or offline!

Hey, all!

Here is the (perhaps) final design for a print that I will be selling at Canzine this year!!!

I’ll expect to sell it somewhere in the 15-20 dollar CAD range and I estimate it’ll be 11x14 in size. I’m very happy with it, but I’ll likely make some tweaks before the end. Anyway, expect lots of shameless self-promotion in the next month or so before the online convention!

Cheers!
