Shop Canadian! Captain Canuck
It's been a thrill to have worked on a number of Captain Canuck issues over the last few years! If you're looking to pick up a few Canadian published comics, you can't get much more Canadian than a man in a Maple Leaf costume!
I ❤️ our Libraries

Andrei Tarkovsky's Stalker (1979)

Chronicles of Conan
I haven't had a chance to blog in the last little while, as April finds me in the thick of a May 1st colouring deadline! A few months ago, I was working on Dark Horse's Chronicles of Conan volume 17: The Creation Quest, which came out

Digital Chameleon on A-Channel
I posted this video up on the YouTube machine a while back, of my appearance on City TV's Big Breakfast (then known as A-Channel). In it, Jon Ljundberg visits Winnipeg's now defunct Digital Chameleon to investigate how modern comic books are coloured! I show up for
