What happened in April and May, and a ton of new comics and comic news!
So, since my extended visit to Vancouver, Port Moody to be exact, the blog here has been a little quiet. I’ve been busy with a multitude of things here, some childcare, some web design, some sightseeing, and even some comics, believe it or not.
Towards the end of my stay in Toronto, I kicked my comic output to almost 4 pages a day for a little over a week. Sadly the duties of my life have meant that I haven’t been able to create at that pace recently, but still I’ve been fighting the good fight and getting stuff drawn, inked and coloured.
Anyway, without going into detail, here is a little rundown of my recent comic activities of late…

I’ve final got my print copies of these, and although I haven’t figure out a price, I’ll be updating the site shortly with how you can get one of these little full colour books by myself and Gerard Dywer.

Allochthonous Pop
This is a new comic I’m working on with my good friend James Andre. I’ve drawn the first 19 pages and coloured 10 of them to date. This project has grown from a little idea for a short story into a larger piece that’ll have atleast 3 issues. Stay tuned. But for now, here is page 3 of the first book!

Grawlix One: The Subway Issue
I did a short three page story for this anthology in Toronto, which is put together by Dalton Sharp, one of the organizers behind the fantastic monthly Comic Jam in Toronto. You can find out more about the book here at Grawlix.ca. The book was launched a few weeks ago at TCAF, which I sadly missed. I’ll post the comic here on my blog in the next couple of weeks as my regular posting schedule resumes!

Dirt Nap Issue One
Not one of my projects, though I did colour one of the fantastic stories included in it. This book, by Brendan Halyday, includes some stories written by frequent collaborators of mine, James Andre and Gerard Dywer. It’s a beautiful book, and in full colour too.
You can purchase it here.

I think that catches everyone up on the happenings in my life for the moment. I have a few other projects that are in the works and I’m sure you’ll hear about them shortly! Until next time, Cheers.
