Going to various galleries and being able to experience different mediums of art is really interesting and is considered by some as one of life's greatest pleasures. It doesn't matter if you are in England and are at a gallery you found on a free stuff uk website or if you are in France and happen to come across one when you are wandering around. What is important is that you are experiencing different types of art and enjoying yourself.

National Press Club Press Freedom Awards of Canada
International Editorial Cartoon Competition.
The theme of the 6th International Editorial Cartoon Competition was "Cartooning in a dangerous environment": to illustrate the pressure under which cartoonists perform their craft: the "chill" of a potential libel suit, the temptation of self-censorship, and security, political, economic and/or editorial constraints to artistic expression.
Prizes: three Prizes and ten Awards of Excellence were given.

What is really so sinful about music, poetry, art, and film? Admittedly, there is a little nudity… and a drop or two of blood… and a few "interesting" perspectives on the 7 most deadly… Truly, with more than 40 artists, filmmakers, poets, musicians, and actors from around the world showing their own perspectives on "sin," you're bound see a few of them colouring outside the lines.

Spot On Festival
The Spot On Fair was part of the Spot On: The Art of Zines and
Graphic Novels gallery show that has been at Minnesota Center for Book Arts since April 9th. It
has recieved some
favorable reviews.
I presented the "Luckiest
Girl" comic, what is a chapter from graphic novel Kvell by Sidney
Goldberg.
It was a nice festival, even though the artists
outnumbered the visitors. There was local TV, and a few interesting
discussions: Craft of Cartooning: Tips and tricks from Cartoonists;
Cartoonists and their influences; Tom Cassidy; Mini-Comics: the Art of
Making Comic Books by Hand.
At the end of the show a
fellow-artist called my art "subversive, but in a good way."
Can somebody explain what the heck does it mean?? :)

Welcome to HELLOGOODBYE!
Reaktiv Zone, an underground art organization, kindly
offered
its web space for my new HELLOGOODBYE
comics.
HELLOGOODBYE is a weekly single panel feature.
It is a pensive journey of naive and humble characters.
A cartoon in free flight - that was my original goal.
Trying to approach
this ideal model I limited my work
time to 15 min per cartoon.
Here are links to the last HELLOGOODBYE issue:
