Toronto Draws Tintin
The Beguiling Books & Art and Steamwhistle Brewery are teaming to produce one of the most interesting art shows of the fall, TORONTO DRAWS TINTIN. Featuring the work of dozens of comics artists and illustrators from Toronto, Canada, this event is a celebration of all things Tintin and his creator Hergé, and will feature dozens of pieces of original artwork. There will be a silent auction in support of The Comic Legends Legal Defense Fund.
TORONTO DRAWS TINTIN is a month long art show at Steamwhistle Brewery’s gallery space, with an exciting opening-night party on Wednesday November 2nd. The show will hang for the month of November, and then close out with a a jam-packed celebration of comics, illustration, and art on Sunday November 27th! First, join French creator Stanislas as he travels from Paris to Toronto for the official English-language launch of The Adventures of Herge, the graphic novel biography of the Tintin creator from Drawn & Quarterly. Peter Birkemoe, owner of The Beguiling, will direct an informative Q&A with Stanislas about this exciting work. All proceeds from the event will go to support the Canadian Comic Legends Legal Defense Fund, an organization fighting against censorship and for the rights of Canadian comics readers, artists, and publishers.
