Sometimes it seems to me that like life is a big, irresistible wind: a wall of atmosphere that picks up this puny human and sweeps her willy-nilly through the sky. […]
I’ve been working like mad on the new book of the Quadra Cats stories. It’s based on the single-page episodes, but with much, much more added to link them together into […]
Why are mermaids always maids? What do you call a boy, er, mermaid? Merboy? Merlad? A grown male mer-person is a merman, or sometimes, a triton (though they usually have […]
I’ve just resumed, after a summer break, my webcomic, Mermaid Music. I thought I’d celebrate by documenting my working process for the first page of “Chapter Two — Over the […]

A couple of posts ago, I wrote about a crowdfunding campaign that I’m involved in. The Camosun Comic Arts Festival, or CCAF, is raising funds through Indiegogo for the event […]
I’ve just posted page 10 of Mermaid Music, my webcomic-that-will-someday-be-a-graphic-novel. I’m starting to feel in the swing of things now, and despite a very busy (hectic, frantic, frenetic, frenzied, feverish, […]
A one day event celebrating comics and graphic novels, their creators, and their readers! In between teaching comic classes and making comics, I’ve also been part of a team that’s […]
This is the grand finale to the comic class posts! Lots of words this time, as I’ve got a lot of information to impart! There are links scattered throughout, particularly […]
This is another post in the series for my comics class, expanding on and illustrating subjects we talked about in class. Yesterday we discussed lettering and colouring; the colouring will […]
Mermaid Music. From the latest page in my new online comic (click the link above) — this one’s moving us into the central mystery of the story. It’s pen and […]
“Hmmm,” said Sherlock, “there seems to be a webcomic about to be published.” “How can you tell?” said Watson, “All I see are some paints and little pictures.” “Elementary, my […]
Hi everyone! This is week three of my Friday posts for “Comics for the Curious Beginner”, a six-week class I’m teaching at Monterey Centre in Oak Bay. This post expands on […]
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 […]
Those who have been following this blog for a while know that I’ve had a graphic novel project of my own, The Mermaid, underway since last year, but lately it’s […]
I’ve made a page so you can take a peek at the first bit of Spam and the Sasquatch! All part of the site overhaul I’m doing. When I started this […]
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. […]
The cover that I posted the beginnings of two days ago is finished! This will be my entry in the Co-Mix exhibition here in Victoria at the Martin Batchelor Gallery. […]
It’s great when an art project can do double duty! I needed a cover for my story The Mermaid, as well as a “cover” for an art show featuring made-up comic […]
