Calgary Expo 2014!

4/25/2014

Here's a quick post to say that it's the Calgary Comic & Entertainment Expo this weekend!

I've been busy writing quick sketchy comics about what's going on around me on the Expo grounds. I'm posting these on Twitter (and the Calgary Herald is re-tweeting them... I feel like a real comics journalist!). I did this last year, too, and you can see some of those pictures here. I'll put this year's pictures up here when I have a chance (i.e. after I've had some sleep... and I have the feeling that isn't going to happen much during the next few days!).

If you're coming out to the Expo, please come and say hi - I'm at table G 10 in Artist Alley. Just so you know, I won't be able to come on Sunday (although a friend of mine will be at my table) - so I hope I'll get to see you before then!

    Graphic recorder based in Calgary. I like local stories. I write comics when I have free time. And I leave eraser shavings everywhere I go.

    my website

    www.the23rdstory.com started as a blog and now includes some information about my graphic recording practice as well.

    I also have an (old) website which features a lot of my (old) work. Look out, it's a bit clunky and a few of the links need updating, but there are still a few interesting things there:

    Some nice things people said about my work:

    “If Breitkreuz and Foong [founders of the Calgary Comics & Entertainment Expo] represent the Type-A side of Calgary's self-publishing community, Hester may be the community's right brain.” – Tom Babin, FFWD Magazine

    “…A strong graphic style similar to other autobiographically-inclined Canadian cartoonists like Chester Brown and Julie Doucet.” – Gilbert Bouchard, Edmonton Journal
