Utopiales and Singapore Writers Festival

Journal Entry: Sun Oct 11, 2009, 9:04 PM




The French Malinky Robot collection is rather surprisingly up for the Best SF Comics Album award (aka "Le Prix Du Meilleur Album de SF") at the Utopiales Science Fiction Festival in Nantes, and I've gotten an invitation to attend! :p Its the city of Jules Vernes, and James Gurney is the guest-of-honour there this year. Other nominees for the award are:

Ikigami, Préavis de mort de Motoro Masse, Asuka, 2009

The Twelve de W.Chris, J-M.Straczynski, Panini Comics, 2009

Fergus d’Agrimbau et Pietro, Atalante 2009

Malinky robot de S. Liew, Paquet 2009

Les é;pées de verre de S.Corgiat, L.Zuccheri, Les Humanoïdes Associés 2009

Doubt d’Yoshiki Tonogai, KI-OON 2009

Also this month is the Singapore Writer's Festival, which has quite a few comics panels, with guests including Lat, Neil Gaiman and Mark Waid. I'll be muddling my way through a couple of panels:

24 Oct 2009, 3:00 pm

" Comics – A Timeless Narrative Price: Free Venue : Chamber
Featuring: Lat, Mark Waid, Sonny Liew
Moderator: Terence Chua


From young to old, everybody loves a good comic! Join American comic writer Mark Waid (whose notable works include The Flash, Captain America and Superman), Malaysian-born Singapore-based comic artist Sonny Liew and beloved Malaysian comic artist Lat in a panel that reflects on the challenges of drafting a good narrative and on writing comics from an American or Asian angle."

Another panel with Troy Chin is being moved to an earlier date (the 25th I think) .

Some paintings up at the Arts House too for the Writer's Fest :p

I love your work! I've been a fan ever since I discovered Malinky Robot about 4 years ago. I'm so glad to see you've been doing a lot of awesome projects lately and getting yourself out there, and I'm glad I found you on dA too!

I loved Malinky! Your art style is so visually pleasing.

And your robots are fun to look at...
