CRUMBS
Meet the creative team behind the brand new horror
independent comic "Crumbs" this October at the Vancouver Comic &
Toy Show! Writer Kyle Siemens along with artist
Mary Madison Silvas will be showcasing their very first comic book
- CRUMBS. Crumbs was adapted from Jessey Nelson's short film and
is the story of a young boy named Shylo and his imaginary monster.
KYLE SIEMENS
Kyle Siemens is currently travelling
the world, supporting himself with writing. Yup, it's possible! He
co-wrote Crumbs (mostly in an apartment in Morocco), a bunch of
other screenplays, and is currently writing a fantasy graphic
novel for young people about how to find meaning in life. He
writes about all this on his website, which is his name with a
"dot com" at the end. Fancy!
\
MARY MADISON SILVAS
What began as a simple love for
westerns and animals turned into a life-long passion to become a
professional storyteller. Mary "Madison" Silvas is a Southern
California based illustrator with a wide variety of talents and
mediums. Predominantly working in digital inking and traditional
pencil work, Madison has expanded her skill to include acrylics,
watercolor, traditional inking, and when she has to sit in the car
for a while, knitting. Her love of sequential art began when she
was a storyboard artist for a couple of student films at Brooks
Institute of Photography, and soon branched out into writing and
drawing her own graphic novels.
The incredible opportunity
to work on Crumbs opens several new doors for her as she continues
to hone her skills, explore different techniques, and hopefully
one day soon, poblish her own stories. She also hopes she can be
proof that dreams are meant to be chased, no matter how hopeless
it may seem.
KATY DECOBRAY
Artist, cosplayer, and adorkable badass.
Based in Vancouver
BC, Canada, Katy DeCobray's origins are shrouded in mystery and
rumour. She first appeared at San Diego Comic Con in 2009 and has
been entertaining fans at conventions across the West coast ever
since.
Katy DeCobray is a master of intrigue and disguise,
creating costumes that draw from a variety of sources from comic
books to anime and video games, although she has a particular
penchant for personating villains in tight black spandex and
impossibly high heels.
You will most likely find her in the
center of attention, nerding up your selfies, and cursing her poor
choices in footwear.
You can contact her via email and the
following social media accounts: Email:

JOHN GALLAGHER / UNCANNYKNACK COMICS
At Uncannyknack Comics we're fans first. To this day that fandom
has stayed consistent and diverse. John Gallagher built a
reputation in the collector community for his brand of variant
covers so it only seemed fitting that opening a personal imprint
was the next step. Together with his two partners Scoott Rohan and
Peter Turcotte (owner of local store Big Pete's Collectibles) we
specialize in the indie and creator owned variant space, far from
the overcrowded superhero market, providing covers for all genre
material. We have a simple rule: It has to be a cover we'd want
ourselves before we'd ever think of selling it to anyone and that
will never change. Drop by our sales table and see what we have.
John will be signing and remarking new and catalogue drops from 11
- 2.

---------- REEL MAC AND
CHEESE:
REEL Mac and cheese offers gourmet, made fresh on
the truck macaroni and cheese with seven cheeses, and a variety of
movie themed menu items.
While macaroni and cheese itself
is slightly retro they have given it a modern twist with menu
offerings such as Slumdog Millionaire that includes curry paste
and peas and The Green Mile that is topped with freshly cooked
broccoli florets and crispy onions.
They serve up inspired
comfort food made from scratch right on the truck. They start with
real butter, add whole milk, select spices and seven different
cheeses, the result is creamy deliciousness.
All yummy, all
the time!
----------
WINGS OUTDOOR

Wings Restaurants & Pubs is a local staple for good
times and even better food. Now, they're winging in that same
quality food to the outdoors, in their Wings Outdoor Grill food
truck.
Although the menu features a wide variety of all
American classics, the fresh never frozen wings are where it's at.
And they are by no means average. Wings Outdoor Grill offers up
over 20 impressive homemade sauces and rubs to smother their wings
in, from sweet Thai and Canadian maple bourbon to savory Tokyo
teriyaki and outback BBQ.
All created with locally sourced
ingredients whenever possible.
---------- TERIYAKI EXPRESS:
Japanese Teriyaki Express/Twisted Potato serves Fresh Traditional
Teriyaki on Rice (Beef/Chicken and Vegetarian Tofu). They also
have a Dim Sum Plate, Prawn Tempura, Green Beans with Sea Salt,
Japanese Style Meat Skewers (Beef and Chicken), Takoyaki, Twisted
