DC Zinefest was this past Saturday, July 30, 2011. Word on the street was that it was Washington, DC’s first Zinefest in at least a decade. I am glad the show’s organizers were able to put on such a well-coordinated show with a minimum budget. Thanks to everyone who came out.


The show had a steady pace of attendees throughout the day. The photo above shows how big the crowd got at one point.

More photos can be found on the Curls Studio Facebook page.

Hello everyone,

Thanks for visiting the Curls webcomic site. I am hard at work on deadline to finish a eight page Black Magic Tales story, so there will be no Curls strips for maybe a week or so. I will make it up to you gals and guys somehow, but for now you can instantly partake in other exciting stuff available to entertain you…

You can:
• Read previous Curls comic strips in the archives
• Visit the Curls Studio Production Blog
• Listen to The Carolyn & Joe Show Podcast (updates every Tuesday)
• Look at a year’s worth of sketches in my Sketch Before Sleep project
• Follow me on Twitter @CarolynBelefski
• Like Curls Studio on Facebook

Thanks for your patience,
Carolyn

Just wanted to take this moment to let everyone know about the Shel Dorf Awards.

Founded in 2010, along with the inaugural Detroit Fanfare, the Shel Dorf awards are dedicated to recognizing the comic industries best and brightest talents. Like Shel, another Detroit native, the awards are most concerned with the fan perspective, giving the fans unprecedented say in the nomination and voting process. The Shel Dorf awards proudly celebrate the best of our industry’s present while honoring the unique place that Detroit has in comic fandom’s past.

Detroit Fanfare will take place September 24-25, 2011 and they are now accepting submissions for the Shel Dorf Awards. I would greatly appreciate it if you took a moment to vote for me (Carolyn Belefski) and my webcomic Curls at www.sheldorfawards.com/submissions. Thank you.
