August 2011

And we're back!


What The Fur invites you to to begin the summer in Montreal at our third annual event. 2011 was just too much fun, and so we've decided to take another run at it and host you all again!

First, we would like to happily announce that our Guest of Honour is the amazing Karine Charlebois, also known as Kanthara. She is an accomplished professional artist, having worked on storyboards and graphic novels, most notably Gargoyles: Bad Guys. You can check out some of her works by using the links on the right.

Secondly, we've decided to take a different approach with our theme this year. No more conflices. No Pirates and Ninjas. No Zombies overrunning our beautiful island home. This year, we will focus on what many of us seem to be: Creatures of the Night. You may have heard rumours of another theme, however rest assured that these are only rumours.

Next, our dates. As usual, What The Fur will be held in early June. Due to the unannounced dates of the Formula 1 races, WTF cannot 100 percent guarantee our dates, but at this point in time we can safely say that we are 98.8 percent sure we will be from the 1st to the 3rd of June. Once those dates are solidified we will announce it here, and the hotel will open for room reservations.

But on a higher note, you can now begin your plans, and pre-register for WTF 2012! Ourregistration system is open and waiting for you! Early Bird Pre-Registration rates will be available from now until January 1st, so act now to secure your spot at the event!

More news will be coming shortly, so watch our pages closely, or visit our forums for the latest discussions and to ask questions.



Guest of Honour

Karine Charlebois

 

Karine Charlebois , also known as Kanthara, has been drawing since she could hold a crayon. When she learned that cartoons weren't exactly made by elves in Japan and California, she found her way into the Montreal animation industry. She's worked mostly in storyboarding for both TV and video games, and at some point decided to try her hand at comics, first landing a few gigs with an educational publishing house and producing a graphic novel for them. A well known artist in the Gargoyles fandom, she got the opportunity to draw both for the main series and the Gargoyles: Bad Guys spinoff, published by SLG.


She currently juggles working from home on storyboards for different shows, raising two young boys with her husband, and trying to make her obese, geriatric cat lose some weight, with a certain measure of success.


Karine also holds a shared 2007 Ursa Major award for her work on Gargoyles.
