</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><b style="font-family: inherit;"><span>Call for Artist Applications:
Immigration Detention in Canada – Law and Lived Experience</span></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The
Comics Studies Research Cluster at UBC is seeking applications from cartoonists
to work on an exciting new graphic novel project. The project seeks to capture
the lived experience of Canadian immigration detention through comics. The
project will involve working with 2-3 individuals who arrived in Canada as
refugees and were subject to immigration detention. The content of the graphic
novels will then explore each individual’s story, based on interviews with the
individuals and media produced in collaboration with them.</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
The goal of the project is to convey the day-to-day life of immigration
detention – from the uncertainty and boredom to the trauma and loss. Each
graphic narrative will be 20-30 pages long and will focus on different aspects
of the experience as told by each individual.<br />
Artists will receive compensation that aligns with their experience. We are
committed to ensuring meaningful compensation and have the funding to offer a
generous honorarium (up to $10,000 per graphic narrative) commensurate with
experience.<br />
<br />
For more information, please see the official Call for Applications on the UBC
Comics Studies Cluster website: </span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://comics.arts.ubc.ca/" target="_blank"><span>https://comics.arts.ubc.ca/</span></a><span><br />
<br />
Application materials (Letter of Interest, max 1 page; 3 examples of comic art,
max 10 pages; optional Creative Statement for working with these themes) should
be submitted by email by February 5th @ 5PM to Dr. Biz Nijdam, Director of the
UBC Comics Studies Cluster, at </span><a href="mailto:comics.studies@ubc.ca"><span>comics.studies@ubc.ca</span></a><span>.</span></span></span></p>

Hours remain 11am-5pm, admission remains $5 (free for kids under 15), and dealer tables are $40 for centre and $50 for wall.<br /><br />Special guest at the show will be James Lloyd (Futurama Comics, Simpsons Comics).<br /><br />Masks must be worn by attendees while in the building, for everyone's safety.<br /><br /><br />Looking ahead, I'm just finishing confirming guests for the next two shows (May 14 and July 9) and once everything's sorted out, will probably announce them on the con Twitter (@vancomicon) first.</p><p>If you have any questions about the shows or want to book space for March, call me at 604-322-6412.<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Leonard</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span>Years
ago, we used to give local creators free space at the shows. That worked for a few
years, until last minute cancellations started getting out of hand, so the deal
was changed to $5 or a novel/graphic novel I could use for school. And if someone didn’t show
up, they’d pay $10 or two books before they could rebook a new spot. Which
worked for a few more years, until someone gave me graphic novels clearly
marked “Adults Only,” and told me to take them or leave them. At which point,
the current charge for creator space was implemented.</span></span></span></p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span> </span></span></span></p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span>That
said, starting with the September 11<sup>th</sup> show, we’re going to go back
to free space for local creators and see how it goes. The space will be 3’,
good for one person, and everyone who books before flyer copy is sent out to my
designer will be listed on the show flyers. (If a full table is required,
contact me for publisher pricing.) The only things that can be sold at these
spaces are products the creator has made or products featuring their work.
(I.e., no selling personal collections of comics or Pokemon cards.) If I’m
unfamiliar with who you are, I’ll need a physical sample of your work/what you
plan to sell, which you can either give to me at a show, or mail to PO Box
48873, Bentall Station, Vancouver, BC, V7X1A8.</span></span></span></p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span> </span></span></span></p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">
</span></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span>There
is limited space per show, and bookings will be on a first-come, first-served
basis. If a creator is a no-show, a minimum $20 donation to the Comic Legends
Legal Defense Fund must be made before space will be made available to them
again. </span></span></span></p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">

asking people to exit through the front doors in the room. </p>

you know where we are with the safety plan. The con is taking place a
day before vaccination passports are required, so I guess that’s
something to look at for November. There are a couple things that I need
to confirm/walk through with Heritage Hall when I’m at the building
next week; I’ll list them here with that caveat. Our safety plan was
created with the guidelines and restrictions provided by the province’s
Phase 3 reopening stage. (If we had moved to Phase 4, the only thing
that would have changed is the number of people in the room at any given
time.)<br /> </p><ul style="list-style-type: square;"><li style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">Everybody
in the big room needs to be wearing a mask. The mask has to cover your
lower face and nose. If you don’t have a mask, we will have paper masks
available at the front door. Because they’re at the show all day, the
dealers and creators have been told they can remove their masks if
they’re sitting behind plexiglass shields or behind the table far enough
where they’re comfortable doing so, but if they walk out in front of
the tables, they need to have a mask on.</li></ul> <ul style="list-style-type: square;"><li style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">We
are allowed a maximum of 100 people in the room at any given time. This
includes the dealers and artists. What this means for you is we’re
still stamping your hands, but if you leave the building, you may have
to wait in line to get back in. Along with this, we’re probably going to
change up the order we let people enter the room and focus on letting
families in first because they don’t generally stay for most of the day.</li></ul> <ul style="list-style-type: square;"><li style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">We’re
avoiding doing door prizes this show, because of social distancing, and
we don’t really want people hanging around all day (or if you leave and
try to come back in time and get stuck in a lineup outside) to win some

under 14, and, while supplies last, all paid attendees will get a copy
of <strong>King Spawn</strong> <strong>#1</strong>.</li></ul> <ul style="list-style-type: square;"><li style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; mso-line-height-rule: exactly;">I

also still needs to be confirmed, but the plan is to have everyone
enter through the usual lobby side door area (and there will be tape on
the floor and sidewalk outside to help with distancing) and exit through
the front centre doors in the room. The latter currently have wood
panelling covering them, as work on the building continues. If we can’t
use the centre doors, exit will be through the lobby as usual.</li></ul> <br />If you have questions about any of this, feel free to email me at <a href="mailto:lswong@uniserve.com" style="-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; color: #007c89; font-weight: normal; mso-line-height-rule: exactly; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">lswong@uniserve.com</a><br /> <br />Thanks, and I hope to see you at the show!<br />LSWonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00945990387395174351noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736205683368756372.post-48556248529002785682021-07-22T16:51:00.001-07:002021-07-22T16:51:53.145-07:00September 2021<p>Happy to announce that we're back at Heritage Hall (3102 Main St), starting on September 12. Guests are Ken Steacy, Joan Steacy, Simon Roy, Randy Stone, John Ward, and Soaring Penguin Press. Show hours are 11AM - 5PM, and admission is $5, with kids under 14 getting in for free.<br /></p><p>Following current provincial guidelines, we are requesting that all show attendees be masked while in the Hall, for everyone's safety. (We will have masks at the door.) There may be a limit to the number of people allowed in the room at any given time. Hand cleaning stations will be available in the building, and there will be ongoing cleaning of the washrooms and high contact areas throughout the day. Current plan is to use one door for entry and another for exit.</p><p>Finally, the Hall is still undergoing roof replacement and seismic upgrades. This doesn't affect the room we use, but the exterior of the building is surrounded by wood and scaffolding, and the roof is under a white cover. The construction probably won't be completed by Sept 12, so this is just a heads up for when you arrive. <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOw1xIn8QwHy9bTMKteWreayNonfISIDMDkV238Oz4wYakDIEF0kCS0NScGy0v7CP4492ujiUIN2KWclHsOIXCI5drWiAAtkMVwv1PLQGhnUCJrMfwo31j_43a4IWC5Z9wWIrFbKdAms7u/s2048/2021_VanComicon_sept.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1582" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOw1xIn8QwHy9bTMKteWreayNonfISIDMDkV238Oz4wYakDIEF0kCS0NScGy0v7CP4492ujiUIN2KWclHsOIXCI5drWiAAtkMVwv1PLQGhnUCJrMfwo31j_43a4IWC5Z9wWIrFbKdAms7u/w494-h640/2021_VanComicon_sept.jpg" width="494" /></a></div><p></p>LSWonghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00945990387395174351noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4736205683368756372.post-53701872184538873672021-07-07T15:25:00.000-07:002021-07-07T15:25:20.126-07:00Starting back up...<p>
</p><p class="MsoNormal">Things are coming together and at the point where I can
announce that Vancouver Comicon will be returning to Heritage Hall on Sunday,
September 12. Guests will be announced soon; we’re sticking with BC-based
creators for this first show back.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">A COVID Safety Plan is still being finalized (apparently the
government may change things again at the start of September), but we are
currently planning on setting up one door for entry and another for exit, hand
cleaning stations, and ongoing cleaning of the washrooms. <b>All attendees must
wear a mask when in the Hall.</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b> </b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Hall is still undergoing seismic upgrades and roof
replacement, and the building will most likely still be under wraps and look
like a construction site in September. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b> </b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Currently, we’re taking bookings for creator and publisher
spaces. Dealer spaces will open up when the guest announcement is made. If you’re
a creator or small-press publisher and want to book space, email
lswong@uniserve.com for information.</p>
