Toronto Comic Arts Festival

TCAF is back and better than ever!

Owlkids is going to be there so if you’re in the GTA, make sure you say hello to the Chirp, chickaDEE, and OWL teams.

There are a ton of fun activities happening during the weekend-long event. We’ve highlighted some of them that you might like (besides visiting the Owlkids booth, of course!).

Saturday, May 11, 9am-5pm

1:30-2:15pm Sound Effects Workshop

Featuring: Brian McLachlan, Eric Wight

CrasH! bAm! BOoM! Comics wouldn’t be the same without sound effects. With the help of Brian McLachlan (The Princess Planet) & Eric Wight (Frankie Pickle) find out why cartoonists use them, and how you can add some awesome onomatopoeia (words that imitate sounds) to your own comics.

Sunday, May 12, 11am-5pm

2:30-3:15pm Heroes vs Villains!

Featuring: Faith Erin Hicks, Cecil Castellucci

The hero (protagonist) and the villain (antagonist) are the two most important characters in stories. Join Cecil Castellucci (Odd Duck) and Faith Erin Hicks (Bigfoot Boy) in creating a hero and a villain with your help and get tips on creating your own characters for your own fantastic stories.
