Crystal Bone Drive by Tetsunori Tawaraya

Animehouse at TCAF 2023

So for the uninitiated, TCAF is the Toronto Comics and Arts Festival, and it was held this weekend from Friday to Sunday. Sadly, I could only make the Sunday so I was unable to attend Mayuzuki's panel on the Saturday, but at the very least I made the signing on Sunday morning! All that said, this is just a little post sharing my thoughts and purchases from the festival as I had a great time and wanted to share that with people that were unable to make it there.

I'll get the boring stuff out of the way, my thoughts on it. It's a really cool and fun festival, I got there a half an hour before it opened since I had travelled from outside of the city, so I got myself a really nice spot in line. I was really surprised at how lax it was lining up, there were maybe a dozen people total in front of me, and the line only really started piling up in the last 15 or so minutes to get in.

Once I was in I got to take in the layout, which was rather cramped. I get it, they're operating it out of a library, there's not a whole lot of space. But I do still think it made for a bit of a suffocating experience when squeezing past people to walk in the narrow pathways between booths and bookshelves. Given the attendance, and the fact that it's free entry, I feel like they could really afford an upgrade if they required purchasing a pass for the festival. I'd 100% support it because it means the people that are behind it and participate in it as exhibitors could expand what they're doing and offer even cooler stuff.

Now, this is a comics and art festival, so I don't quite have a right to complain or voice my opinion, but I'll do it anyways. I love how they're integrating manga into the festival and using it to pull in people that might not otherwise experience comics in the more genuine sense outside of what's marketed by Marvel and DC. But I do also feel like they might try a little more to get a stronger response from that demographic. Both Denpa and Glacier Bay Books were there, and I feel like it's a bit of a missed opportunity to not have had them run a panel or anything for manga fans.

And last but not least, programming. I think it's really awesome that they're being proactive in getting younger audiences engaged in comics that exist outside of those big name ones like I said earlier. It's great to see them foster and encourage an interest that will help keep an industry going in the face of being overtaken in the public eye by superheroes.

Alright alright, manga stuff! Jun Mayuzuki was obviously the main attraction for me at the festival, so I made a B line for the signing table right when the festival opened. While I was there I bought this poster.

And I got this one for free with the signing.

And then of course there's the actual signature. I'm a bit (well really a massive) geek for this stuff so you know I had to get Mayuzuki to sign a JP copy of Kowloon Generic Romance volume 1 (real name omitted/edited out). It was a really great experience and Mayuzuki was incredibly nice, and seemed happy/surprised that I brought a JP volume to get signed.

Now, following that I've still got some cool stuff. Glacier Bay Books had a booth there and were selling some of the volumes they carry, so I picked up a pair I didn't have. Their quality really is incredible. Such a nice weight in the hands, the binding is tight without being rigid, and the paper quality when comparing to something like Viz is just stellar. Oh, and the color of the paper is dependent on the volume (Karman Line is blue/white while Mermaid Town is black with a red trim on the edge so the pages look red from the outside)

And Hollow Press came by and surprised me! These dudes are from Italy and are a horror publisher so I was super surprised to see them come all the way to Toronto for the festival, so I 100% had to pick up some stuff from them (not pictured are Grayworld & Crystal Bone Drive by Tetsunori Tawaraya because Tumblr is squishing the image horizontally for some reason). They've got really similar quality to Glacier Bay but put out a lot more smaller books than them. Still, great stuff (and for those in Canada, both Glacier Bay and Hollow Press titles are carried through The Beguiling!)

So yeah, a really awesome day where I got a lot of really awesome stuff. Being in Canada, there's not a lot of conventions or festivals that are easy or affordable to access, so a very grateful hats off to the team for bringing stuff to the general population that they can experience both in person and online!

‘Monitor’ by Tetsunori Tawaraya

Awhile back a bit ago I ripped on a different Tawaraya compilation that had come out from an Italian publisher.  The whole thing about publishing, see, is the editorial choices one makes.  While that book sucked balls this one is the golden god of leelte art chapbooks because of the damn fine choices, design, and presentation of this amazing artwork.  I know its the same art by the same artist in both books but there is so much to be said about how art should be presented for hand held viewing.  Whereas the other one just felt like a boring and voluminous compendium that went too far, this is an extremely exciting and tasteful collection of fantastic drawings that progresses in such a cool way by going from little pages to big pages. 

Colour Code Printing are making a lot of cool choices in what they provide to the world and each book really gets its own scent because of their editorial direction.  This guy is spiral bound, like a note book, has a clear overlay cover, and then progresses from sections of smaller, then medium, and then large pages of cotton candy and piss yellow colors that complement these oddly kinda stippled drawings of beasts in caves and dungeons. 

This is the kinda presentation that folk art, or intuitive art, or whatever the fuck art, benefits from.  Theres a story here, a setting, a plot; its all implied thanks to good design and well executed presentation.  I know for a micro publisher, or any underground or DIY artist on a small budget, ones choices are limited in how to undertake a project but again, to compare, this little 24 or so page book is doing so much more than Hollow Press’ squarebound black and white ‘phone book’ collection of drawings.  Hollow Press seemed to have adequate budget to compile the drawings but no good choices to follow through on.  Colour Code put out a book that I am excited to show to my friends at fancy knitting parties, macrame sessions, or just any old event where we wear burlap sacks and knit and talk about social justice. 

Colour Code are the gold standard.  Wotta book.  Thanks to this one I finally really appreciate and vibe off of this artists’ wild Brinkman meets Fantastic Planet style. 

and, true to form for me, I’ve reviewed it long after it sold out.  But buy stuff from Colour Code cuz its all gonna be worth it: http://shop.colourcodeprinting.com/products
