On the last day of the year, what better thing to do than to draw! I’ve been working on some character drawings, and decided to practice a bit of digital “inking” […]
I’m really enjoying Inktober (see my last post for more about that), especially with these little elf characters I’m designing! Here are three more little guys that I’ve done in […]
My webcomic, Mermaid Music, is between chapters right now, and while the next one is under construction (I’m currently in scripting mode), I thought it was a good time to […]
Here is young Sami Redwing, in colour at last. She’s the hero of The Mermaid, on which I’ve been making good progress. I plan to launch the webcomic version (at […]
This is the second of my Friday night posts for my comics class. If you’re not in the class, don’t worry, this is for you too! I hope these posts will […]
A couple of months ago, I had an article in the Hillside-Quadra News, our local neighbourhood newspaper, and I mentioned when I posted about it here that I was thinking […]
Whoosh! I’m here and gone again – back from a fantastic convention in Whitehorse, Yukon, which I will tell you more about when I get back from a much-needed vacation. […]
Summer Art Challenge Day 42 — making art every day Yesterday I posted Tabby in ink; today she has dressed up in colour. She’s one of those rare female orange tabbies, […]
Summer Art Challenge Day 41 Here’s a new character, Miss Tabby Tallulah. I wasn’t sure what colours to make her or her clothes, so I’m going to wait until tomorrow to […]
Summer Art Challenge Day 39-40 — making art (of some kind) every day! Meet Mr. Phineas Wintergreen-Smythe III! He’s based on one of the sketch cards I did last week, and […]
Summer Art Challenge Days 30-31 — making art (of some kind) every day! Right away, I must confess; I did not draw yesterday, nor did I paint, sculpt, collage, or otherwise make […]
Summer Art Challenge Day 24 — making art every day! I’ve embarked on a multi-day project, which I’ll post when it’s done. It started last night when I decided to listen […]
I love watching dragonflies. Shimmering in the heat of a summer day, shiny as the lake they swoop over in their zig-zag search for tasty prey, their slim bodies gleam like […]
Summer Drawing Challenge Day 18 Not long ago I did a little doodle for another one of my animal-in costume characters, Ma Raccoon. I figured it was about time I turned […]
Summer Drawing Challenge Day 13 I’m narrowing down the look of my merfolk for my in-progress graphic novel/webcomic The Mermaid, with the help of a lot of suggestions here and […]
Summer Drawing Challenge Day 10 Continuing my obsession with designing mer-people characters, I had an interesting conversation with my comic-jam friends tonight at our weekly get-together. I asked them what […]
Summer Drawing Challenge Days 7 & 8 My next graphic novel project has mermaid characters in it. But for the purposes of this story, I was bothered by the idea […]
Summer Drawing Challenge Day 4 Raccoons have been much on my mind lately, what with drawing the character of Renfrew for Spam and the Sasquatch, and discovering that the mysterious […]
I just got back from VANCAF, the Vancouver Comic Arts Festival. It’s rather like TCAF (see my earlier posts for descriptions of that), but on a more intimate scale. The […]
Just a quick post tonight — It’s been a long day of watercolour painting! I thought it might be interesting to show some different expressions of Spam the Cat from […]
Spam the Cat Maquette went for his first outing yesterday, and charmed his adoring public — but without his stripes. Tonight I finished his paint job so that he is […]
It’s been ages since I worked on my Spam the Cat polymer clay maquette, and I’m attempting to get it finished for the comic conference at Camosun College tomorrow. So […]
Aunt Root is a character in my soon-to-be-online webcomic, The Mermaid. She’s a rather crusty character (with a heart of gold, or at least really good brass), and because of […]
This is the cover to my first comic book, a collection of several short stories (a few of which can be found in the sidebar to your left!). I hadn’t […]
