April 25th 2012 'mini con' comic jam

The 1st Ottawa Comic Con was coming...everyone was super excited, so the Ottawa Comic Jam decided to hold a pre-event 'mini-con' at the Shanghai Restaurant. Everyone brought work that they wanted to share, sell or have critiqued. It was an excellent opportunity to show what folks were working on and to get valuable feedback from a supportive and enthusiastic bunch of comic nuts.

Thanks as always to Donald Kwan and the staff at the Shanghai Restaurant for taking good care of the group, providing a supportive and safe environment for creativity and always having such great art on the walls to inspire us.

Thanks as well to all the jammers (new and old) who came out and made the 'mini-con' evening a tremendous success: Clayton Jacobs, Suzanne Marsden, Scott MacLellan, Gérard Bélec, Andrew Stutt, Amy VanTorre, Suze Shore, Liz Walsh, James Rule, Matt Erkhart, Anne Erkhart, Julia Tiller, Erin English, Meghan M., Jill Stothart and David Pike.
