Introducing The Cloudscape Comic Collective

Jonathon and Oliver will be joining us on July 8th to create comic book style drawings.

Here is a little more information about their comic making skills. They also have a tumblr and website to see more of their work and past creations.

Jonathon lives and works just outside Vancouver, Canada. He makes comics about strange, alien worlds and the ordinary people who live in them. Jonathon’s past works include the self-published graphic novels A Mad Tea-Party and the Xeric-winning Lords of Death and Life. He has also drawn short comics for various Cloudscape anthologies, for Leia Weathington’s The Legend of Bold Riley, and for the anthologies New World and Cautionary Fables and Fairy Tales: Asia Edition. He is currently working on a mysterious new book he has mysteriously described as “shoujo cyberpunk.” What a mystery!

Oliver Henry McTavish-Wisden is a Coquitlam-based cartoonist and the Executive Director of Cloudscape Comics. When not running the biz, Oliver is probably hiking, trying to draw his comic The Scout, or making horrid noises on the trumpet and keyboard for his band Sleuth.

Joe Chatsis Cree Hooping Dancer and The Culture Saves Lives Pow Wow Drummers

Joe Chatsis performing a hooping dance. Here is 13 hoops in a formation of a bird. Johnny Sam and the Culture Saves Lives Pow Wow Drummers getting warmed up with their first song. After going through the hoops and weaving in and out Joe created these globes with the hoops. What a talent to share with us. Thank you Joe! With Killarney pool in the background Joe is using the hoops and his body to create formations. We were applauding Joe's Hooping Dance and then the Pow Wow Drummers said one more song... Joe led us in one last dance called "the friendship circle" where we all held hand and stepped with our right foot and did a small jump and shuffled our left foot. We got pretty good momentum and staff and board members joined in too. It was a lovely way to end the outdoor event. We were all tired from the heat but had a fun time together. Thank you for coming to the Art Carnivale and making it a special day at Killarn...

JOE CHATSIS - CREE HOOP DANCER and JOHN SAM - POW WOW DRUMMER

Hooping Artist Joe Chatsis lives in Vancouver and is from the Cree First Nations. He does hooping dance to the beat of the Pow Wow drum. John Sam will be his accompaniment at the Killarney Art Carnivale on July 8th, with some Pow Wow singers. This is Joe at the Hastings Community space performing with his hoops as part of #culturesaveslives in the DTES. With his different formations he can do up to 21 hoops! This is quite the accomplishment. He wears hooping regalia and here he is teaching Randi Obenauer. The Killarney Community is looking forward to learning a few moves from Joe.
