FLB: In Your Town!
On The Road!

Freelance Blues, your favourite supernatural comedy comic book, has been hitting the convention circuit this summer with a show at the Toronto Comicon Fan Appreciation Event. Great time, and got to see a lot of new faces and a couple of old friends. Fantastic times for con goers looking for an early taste of what's coming up at the big Fan Expo in August, which with any luck is where we'll be debuting FLB ISSUE 3!

In the meantime, our tour continues. First up, this Saturday June 19th we'll be at the Toronto Small Press Book Fair at the Great Hall, 1087 Queen West in Toronto. This show was a great hit for us in the Fall where we got to hang out with some fantastic people like The Workhorsery, as well as debut the Freelance Blues design your own monster contest!

We had such a good time, that we're doing it again-- this time with prizes! Come and try your hand at drawing your own office-place terror or factory freak and you'll have a chance to win exclusive FLB stuff, as well as get featured on our site! The winner of last year's contest was Charles Weiss for his devastating portrait of the Fish Man: Aka: Finance Bottom Feeder Flaherty. Any resemblance to those in power is purely coincidental! For more of Charles' fishy pictures you can check out his own site here: www.charlesweissart.com

You can see more pictures at the FLB facebook group! And while you're there, why not join the group.

Next stop! In two weeks, Saturday, June 26, 2010 we visit our nation's capital for the Ottawa Small Press Book Fair! More on this in the days ahead, stay posted!

Toronto Comics!

Big weekend here for comics as the Toronto Comic Arts Festival takes over the reference library. This is a fantastic event filled with all manner of comic creators from arty self publishers to freaky webcomics cartoonists and die-hard graphic novelists. Freelance Blues isn't actually attending-- but you'll be able to many of our friends including the Amazing Evan Munday who provided the issue 2 splash page. He's there along with Sketchkrieg, a ragtag team of local talent. We'll also be seen hanging around the table for the Doug Wright Awards on Sunday, which will be handing out hardware to the top Canadian cartoonists Saturday night.

Wanna see what it'll be like? Check out this video for highlights below!

BLOOD MONEY IS HERE!

Freelance Blues: Chapter 2: Blood Money is our biggest yet! A mixed up vampire tale set in a medical testing lab, inspired by real life experiences. It could only happen in Scarborough. And by biggest we mean our most complete story as Lance begins his road-trip Odyssey to get to his family in California. But will he get there in time?

Anyhow, it's here! Mike and I are debuting it this weekend at Ad Astra, a science fiction convention. We'll also be appearing at a number of shows in June, including the Toronto Small Press Expo and the Ottawa Small Press Book Fair. That's as close as we've come to a Canadian tour--so who knows what town we'll end up in next!

More announcements coming soon about how YOU can get your hands on the latest sweet issue of FLB. In the meantime, click the image to see the shocking magic of guest cover artist Steve Sayer's crucial touch! What's that you see there Lance? Doughnuts? (Hint: It's not doughnuts).
