Just in time for the holidays, I've launched my online shop full of Food Girls prints! They will surely delight anyone who gets them as a stocking stuffer. Ho ho ho!

The prints are available in various sizes and printed on silk-cover stock. Visit http://www.wendyding.com/shop to start the fun!

Many thanks to Paul McBonio from UK for my latest interview! Some very good questions, made me think.

Howdy! I was at Canzine over the weekend, a Canadian festival celebrating indie zines, comics and small press. At my table were my graphic novel "After June" and prints of the Food Girls including the 2 new ones (Candy Apple + Lollipop).

It was great fun meeting new friends and reconnecting with old ones. Always a nice treat to be immersed among talented artists!

The event took place on November 1 '09 at the swanky Gladstone Hotel on 1214 Queen St. West, Toronto. Thanks to everyone who came!

Xoxo,

Wow, yet another Food Girl? I must be mad! Mad with anticipation for an upcoming circus-themed show with my collective Not An Octagon, that is! I've been hard at work making two new Food Girls. Here's a preview of the newest one. She's the first blonde in the series!

This will be the only sneak-peek until the show. You were all such smart cats and figured out what the last Food Girl was (candy apple, duh!) from my not-so-discreet-after-all preview shots. Such sleuths!

More details about the show to come.

Love,
Wendy

Yet another Food Girl is in the works! She will be in an art show organized by my collective Not An Octagon at 2ndhalf Gallery on 250 Queen Street West. The show runs from Oct 3 - 10 '09 in Toronto.

These are some teaser shots, don't wanna give away too much just yet :P

Stay tuned for details!

Love,
Wendy

These are photos from the delightful weekend at Fan Expo 2009. Lots of fun, laughs and meeting friends and fans. Always nice to see the reactions from people to my Food Girls from laughing-out-loud to distant tilt-of-head followed with smiles.

Thank you all for coming and your support! See you next year :)

Love,
Wendy
