It’s time to share some more Inktober drawings! At halfway through the month, I’ve been flagging a bit, trying to keep up with all my other drawing work, in addition […]
I’m packing for the beach — artists need vacations too, but for some reason we always seem to pack our art supplies — and all week I’ve been ticking off […]

Today I went and picked up 100 shiny new copies of “Spaced Out”, the new Quadra Cats book! They look fabulous — 24 nice thick pages with a semi-gloss cover […]
Once again, folks, it’s time to indulge ourselves in an ocean of ink. I participated for the first time last year in Inktober, which is a month-long challenge started by […]

I’m on a roll with these black cats that I’m doing for Inktober. I’m really enjoying the challenge of trying to capture the sheen of their fur, and the intense […]
It’s been a while since I posted anything at all, and what better to jump back in with than a Quadra Cats cartoon? I’ll make a longer post soon and […]
I’ve just posted page 11 of Mermaid Music, my webcomic. It’s my first full-page spread since pages 2 and 3, and I thought it was high time to do another in-progress […]
I’ve been doing a little one-page cartoon for our local neighbourhood newspaper, the Hillside Quadra Community News, for several issues now. The stars are three cats, Tux, Jazz, and Alien […]

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 […]
Another post for comics class (see tab at right for the series)! I’ve linked a couple of products to one of our local art supply stores, Opus, because they have […]
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 […]

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 […]
