!e idea of the LIGATURA International Comic Culture Festival is to cre-

ate a pioneer genre of comics’ festival in Europe. A festival which by its fo-

cus on the cultural and social function of comics will present all the most

important initiatives, publishing houses and all the trends in the general

re"ection upon the tradition and the development of the comics art. !e

main goal of LIGATURA festival is to create an international event in Po-

land, which will attract publishers, artists, directors of diverse festivals as

well as activists in order to exchange experiences and create new contacts.

Apart from the goal to create a culture of professionalism of the ac-tivities connected with the promotion and artistic works in the #eld of comics LIGATURA through the integration of the majority of the central European comics initiatives, publishing houses and the best artists originating in this region has great opportunities to become a leader in the communication and transmission of activities between and among the central, western European and American comics art-ists.

TomGauld

Tim Molloy is a 30 year old comic artist from New Zealand who is now living and working in Melbourne, Australia. He has been producing comics for almost two decades now with numerous self-published and obscure periodicals to his name. He has also been published in numerous magazines, collections, newspapers and telephone books. His main in"uences are the Surrealists and Symbolists, dreams, the Occult, and travel. For

the later part of his ‘career’ he has specialized in the art of silent com-ics. He is currently working on a couple of new books that he hopes will take him over the fence from self-published unheard of comics loser to super celebrity comics God status! We all have to have dreams. When not making comic books, he fronts Sci#delic Pre-Apocalyptic Blues Pop band “PLAGUE DOCTOR”, and wrangles baboons.His work can be found here:www.timmolloy.deviantart.comwww.timmolloy.blogspot.comwww.myspace.com/plaguedoctormusic
