FCBD HALLOWEEN PICS AND RAFFLE RESULTS!
Thank you to all who joined us to help out the Vancouver Food Bank.  Every contribution helped make this event a success.  To all the talented artists, writers, volunteers and to everyone who dressed up for Halloween to help us with our charity fundraiser, Thank you again for making this day meaningful.  I think that this is proof that we do not need to rely on an international FCBD event to make a difference in our own community.

THE ESCAPISTS CONTEST!
Win a drawing from local artist Steve Rolston!
Buy a copy of the Escapists at Elfsar Comics and get a photo taken of you holding your purchase. Find out how to submit your photo here: http://steverolston.livejournal.com/115838.html

I highly recommend you take advantage of this rather generous offer from Steve Rolston. An original drawing is a one of a kind item and a personal gift from an artist – furthermore the Escapists is a fantastic book based on the Amazing adventures of Cavalier and Clay. You would be silly to pass this up.

WHAT IS THE VETALA?
Finally, while we are shamelessly plugging Ethan’s art, not many of you may know that Ethan has been involved with providing concept designs for a new Canadian film project called The Vetala.

The Vetala is a supernatural thriller about a hostile, yet conflicted spirit from the pages of Sanskrit mythology, and the succession of people it travels through.

Ethan’s design for the Vetala will premiere in this Thursday’s episode on youtube here:  http://www.youtube.com/user/thevetala

A photo gallery of the making of the Vetala (including Ethan’s concept artwork) will go on-line Friday here: http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Vetala/99040508197

Spread the news!
