Citizens!

Until the next big thing comes along, we are on facebook. This is just a wee nudge to remind you all of that fact.

We have a page that always provides a rolling stream of information and the 2011 event listing is already up. These are both great ways to stay apprised of City of Craft happenings.

I am not going to make any promises just yet, but I can say that I am cooking up schemes around the camp fire to make membership have its privileges. That's right, there may be gifts for you in following our page! Gifts hidden in the internet! Neat, huh?

Love Day.

Have a crafty Valentine's, y'all!

Love,

City of Craft

Attention, Citizens:

Stellar City of Craft staffer, Shannon Gerard (who has designed posters for us, stuffed swag bags, screen printed, crocheted...), has just completed the illustration for Jim Munroe's new graphic novel, Sword of My Mouth. The book is set to release on May 6 at 7pm at Tequila Bookworm (here in Toronto).

To celebrate/promote the book's release, Shannon is offering up free facebook profile images to everyone in the world. All you have to do is link back to the book launch in your photo caption. All the details can be found on her blog here. The chance to get a free portrait from Shannon is pretty exceptional, to say the least. We suggest taking advantage of the offer before her hands break.

Update 04.26.2010: The promo closes on May 4, 2010.

Our doors are open.
