Word On The Street this Sunday

Happy birthday to my friend Reid today!

The picture above is my quickie Daily Doodle, inspired by the colours and theme of The Word On The Street site. Since I started illustrating for money, I've found it even more important to keep drawing for fun. I've tried to do a quickie "Daily Doodle" and sometimes post these in Blatherings.

I did today's Daily Doodle in Corel Painter using the Pen (Flat Color, Croquil, Smooth Round variants) and Airbrush brushes. Font: Gills Sans Bold.

Speaking of Word On The Street, Toronto's WOTS takes place this Sunday at Queen's Park from 11 am to 6 pm, and is packed with tons of exhibits and events for bibliophiles and writers.

My sister is going to be doing a presentation at the Children's tent at 3:30 pm, with a focus on her newest book, Me And My Brother. She'll also be doing a book signing at the Mable's Fables booth from 2-3 pm.



And also don't miss the presentation just before Ruth's, in the Children's Tent. At 3:15: Patricia Storms of Booklust. Patricia recently illustrated 13 Ghosts Of Halloween, a picture book written by Robin Muller. I interviewed Patricia Storms for blogTO back in July.



A while back I also interviewed Farzana Doctor for blogTO, and she'll be doing a reading at the Diaspora Dialogues Pen Canada tent at 12:45 (the panel she's on starts at 12:15). The publisher of her recent book, Stealing Nasreen, also has a booth: Inanna Publications.



If you've never been to Word On The Street, do check it out. All activities are FREE and there's a ton of things to see and do. The Word On The Street is a one-day celebration of reading and writing that promotes Canadian authors, books and magazines, and highlights the importance of literacy in the lives of all Canadians. The Toronto WOTS focuses on promoting Toronto and Ontario authors and literacy organizations.
