Here’s my chat with Shea Proulx at Toronto Comic Arts Festival. Podcast available on Apple Podcasts and player.FM
Shea has self- published two books, and her current book, Alice at Naptime, has been published by Renegade Arts and Entertainment. She describes her work as a “nerdy trip, where memories and observations co-mingle to form sweet psychedelic spaces, and visual narratives steal the show.”
During our chat, Shea talked about her latest work shown at Toronto Comic Arts Festival – Alice at Naptime. She also provided personal insight about the publishing business as an independent creator. Shea spoke about her future plans to promote her work including Panel One.

CBC News published a report on Moncton, New Brunswick artist Nick Bradshaw. He spoke about preparing for a very special project for Marvel Comics. Nick was quoted as saying: “They’ve got writers and artists who’ve been working with Marvel from the golden age, the silver age right up to the modern age. They’re going to be contributing one-page stories to make one big edition of a book, a big 80-page edition. I’m really fanboying out about being able to contribute to this … pretty stoked.” You can read more at CBC.ca
