Dinner with Terry "Aislin" Mosher

Last night, the Australian Cartoonists' Association (ACA) was proud to welcome Terry "Aislin" Mosher, a very talented Canadian cartoonist currently visiting Australia.

Aislin's work can be seen on his Website.

About 30 people attended the dinner in Aislin's honour. He gave a very good talk about cartooning in Canada and it was a great chance for ACA Members to meet again.

A big thank you to Steve Panozzo and Lindsay Foyle for organizing the event!

A few photos taken on the night are below:

The Adventures of Jasper, by Glen Lovett

By chance, I happened to see an article of fellow Aussie Cartoonist Glen Lovett who now lives in Canada.

Glen is an amazing artist and I've ordered the first two books (graphic novels) of his "The Adventures of Jasper" series:

1. Lost in Skookum Valley
2. Secrets of the Petroglyph

Glen was kind enough to sign them for me and my kids (10 and 13). We all love the books!

The drawings are beautiful, the stories engaging, so yes, both books are excellent!

If you are a fan of Franco/Belge "Bande Dessinees", like me, you will enjoy these books!

Glen is currently drawing the third adventure of Jasper which will be set in Australia. Can't wait to see it finished so that I can order it!

Check Glen's Website and Blog for more details...

Glen has agreed to an interview for Inkspot, the magazine of the Australian Cartoonists' Association. I am looking forward to sending Glen lots of questions and have more insights into his creative process.
