Sketches from Creative Writing course this past summer

The summer seems so far away, and yet there was a time I rode my bike without a jacket to UofT for a terrific writing course for Graphic Novels, by Toronto based artist, Willow Dawson.

The class was amazing, the variety of what people were doing was so great, and I still had some time to do some stylized drawings...

Please check out Willow Dawson's website, she is about to launch her new book, 100 Mile House.

Comic Book

Finally getting some comic books finished, some of them are little 8 panel ones, I hope to have those done in the next week.

I really have to thank Willow Dawson, Graphic Artist par excellence. She is a Toronto based artist who taught a terrific class at U of T this summer, I took it and I think it has really pushed me to get some of my work to cross the finish line.

Please check out Willow's work

As for my comics, I will post them as they get printed... here is a tease, panel 1 from my mini comic- Immigrant Fathers Are Drama Queens

Heraldic symbols

I love things like this, I spotted this at u of t. They are a short hand that is meant to communicate so much.

Maybe they are so great now that we have lost so much of the meaning of the symbols and they are just viewed stylistically.

I was looking at St. Malo's coat of arms, it's like a ermine or ferret w a swishy neck scarf! Awesome.
