Toronto is home to some of the best-known comics artists in North America. We have an active and vibrant community putting out some of the highest quality comics to be found anywhere. The SpeakEasy Comics Show features an eclectic mix of Toronto’s talented comic book artists - from those who do newspaper strips and political cartoons, to underground comix and mainstream superhero comic books! The event promises to display an exciting cross-section of the comics’ community here in Toronto, as well as a glimpse into how good comics are made. As the old cliché goes, there really will be something for everyone.*

SpeakEasy is a monthly gathering of Toronto's creative community. It's an opportunity to network, share ideas, and keep in touch with the pulse of Toronto's creative professionals. Since 1996 it has grown from a get-together of a few friends to an event that now draws regular crowds of up to 300. SpeakEasy takes place 8 times a year, on the first Thursday of the month, at The Gladstone Hotel (1214 Queen W.)*

SpeakEasy began in 1996 and was founded by David Brown, a local Toronto encaustic painter whose paintings can be found in numerous galleries and museums through Canada and the U.S., and privately through North America, Europe, and Asia.

WEDGE SPROUTS!!!!

When it comes to having a green thumb...we are late bloomers...if we ever get anything to sprout, let alone bloom!!!!

Each spring we have grandiose dreams of growing our own vegetables for the summer and each spring the squirrels and raccoons shatter our dreams until this year!













Who would have known that potatoes are hardy and can withstand being dug up several times!













Walter and Brie are hard at work in the box garden!








Speaking of sprouting plants...how about checking out Wedges, House of Hsueh and other local Toronto Artists at the Sprout Art Show and Fair!
