Hey, Gargeteers!
Are you ready for September? Back to School, a flurry of activity–and no less so for
Two Gargoyles, as we will be at TWO shows, back-to-back, in September!
Firstly, on September 17-18,
Kyle Burles and I will both be at
Saskatoon Expo for the very first time! It’s always exciting to try a new show, meet new people, and exhibit our work for a new audience! Looking forward to seeing what Saskatoon has to offer! Look for Two Gargoyles at Table 1215 in Artist’s Alley!
Then, the very next weekend,
Jeremy Thew joins me at my table for
Edmonton Expo! Our friends
Kyle, Lisa, Mike and
Sara are all heading up to Artist’s Alley —
Two Gargoyles will be at
table F10! Our friends are all a bit spread out this year, but that means you get to have more fun exploring the Alley to find them all!
September promises to be a very exciting month with these two shows so close to one another; it may be tiring but it definitely promises to be exciting as well! And with two fabulous opportunities such as these, I sure hope to see you in September!
–Michael
Favourite Holiday for our Gargoyles: HALLOWEEN! Riverdale and Hawkstone send you greetings from the pumpkin patch (and no, Hawkstone has never watched a Charlie Brown cartoon in his life.) Art and words by the ever-fabulous Jeremy Thew. 
This week’s Two Gargoyles update has a sneak peek at the script for Twilight Detective Agency #2!
When I write, the characters in my head are as real as if they’re in the room with me. They’re more than just dialogue and action prompts; I think about what they’re wearing– like, how their clothes FIT. What they’re thinking behind what they’re saying. How they relate to each other, to the environment nearby, to the world at large.
In this scene, Riverdale is making a journal entry about his and Hawkstone’s ostracism from the Gargoyle community. It’s a pretty big deal to him; he thrives on social interaction. Riv needs people. To someone like him, ostracism is straight-up torture.
There’s so much around that concept that won’t make it into the comic– maybe he took up yoga to try and distract himself from the loneliness? Maybe he plays video games all day until it’s time to sleep? Maybe he drives his brother insane with a constant need for interaction? Those are all possibilities, each one a reality for the character– but my favourite thing as a writer is that even I don’t know which one will become part of the published story until I write it– and even then, it isn’t a sure thing until I re-read the script and edit it.
Writing is as much a journey for me as, I hope, the reader who sees the finished product and discovers the story for themselves.
