ComiCons

Hi all,

I hope things are going well. I also hope that those of you who have been to the various conventions in the past fortnight [San Diego and Chicago spring to mind.] found them particularly great.

Drawing The Line will be attending the Canadian Expo at the end of August in Toronto. Julie and I will be coming home from France a day before. We're heading off to Europe in a few hours. I'll have limited access to email depending on internet cafés enroute.

I am still waiting to hear from some artists who consented to contribute last April at the Paradise Con. I have heard from several "Old Guard" who are unable to participate and some new contributors have joined the new adventure, following recommendations by peers and friends.

We're also making headway with sponsorship, as two proposals have been put out. A few more will follow depending on the replies. Both foundations, Sick Kids in particular, have been very supportive and are presenting new ideas. These will be presented in another update once more concrete information is available.

I want to welcome all the new participants. I wish to hear from the artists who have, as yet, not committed one way or the other. This project comes to life thanks to your generosity and support and I'm truly appreciative and indebted.

Have to go pack now!
Cheers,
Suley
