Conor’s Con Pix Galore! (And a ANDY B. retrospective: “A Man and his Beard”)

The past few weeks have been a pretty busy time for the K.S. boys. You’ve seen Anthony jet off to exotic far-flung locales like… Ottawa and… Calgary…
But while Anthony was enjoying the high-life, poor lil’ ol me has been stuck doing AMAZING SHOWS in Chicago and right here in Toronto — TCAF 2013.
I’ve been quite [...]

Images from Ottawa

Despite a severe allergy attack and a really bad cough, I was able to take part – and quite enjoy – the Ottawa Comic-Con this past weekend.  It was only the show’s second year but it was a really big one and the organizers – the same ones who put together the Montreal Comic-Con – [...]

HAPPY 10th BIRTHDAY, TCAF!

Like many 10 year-olds the Toronto Comic Arts Festival is really precocious.   The show has taken on the personality of its founders Chris and Peter from The Beguiling and has come to represent the best place to go to see the edges of comics culture.
If you’re the sort of person who says they don’t read [...]

Anthony in the (Canadian) Nation’s Capital this weekend!

After finally having a weekend off, I become a weekend warrior again this upcoming one as I attend the Ottawa Comic-Con from Fri, May 10 – 12th.  This is our first time attending the event, run by the amazing organizers of the Montreal Comic-Con, so I’m excited to see what it’s like.
I will be at [...]

Pics from Calgary!

After five weeks straight of traveling I’m finally at home for an extended period of time… Well, until next Thursday when I head to the Ottawa Comic-Con… And I’ve just gone through the photos from Calgary (below).
What a great time I had in CowTown!  Another Expo, another great time.  We sold a lot of books, [...]

Shouting KS on the rooftops (of Cairo)

I’m just heading off to bed after another busy day in Cairo (thanks to my amazing tour guide – and Sundance fellow – Yasmin Elayat) but I wanted to post this photo.  The artist known as Ganzeer organized a rooftop talk for me this evening to discuss Kill Shakespeare with comic and art fans so [...]

Conor on stage with Neil Gaiman (Video)

As mentioned last weekend I had an amazing time out in Orlando where I got to be part of the International Association for the Fantastic Arts’ annual conference.
One of the real treats was getting to be IN a play with Neil Gaiman. The play was called “The Sum of Your Experience” and the lovely dirtectrix, [...]

Kill Shakespeare goes to school — in Dubai!

With all the cons going on sometimes it gets tough to look ahead at what’s coming next so it was nice to find an e-mail in our in-boxes from Melanie Guidera who is part of the Backstage Dubai team helps Ben Caddy and the rest of the MEFCC team with education programs at the Con [...]

Dream a little Dream with Neil.

Every once in awhile in the course of promoting Kill Shakespeare opportunities come by that see us starstruck. This past weekend was just such an occasion.
While Anthony started the weekend holding down the fort in Rochester Minnesota (and rubbing shoulders with comci superstars like Bill Willingham), I was in Orlando after being invited to the [...]
