more news, more commissions...

NEWS: i'll be appearing again at this year's tenth annual Le Salon de Livre de l'Outaouais: Rendez-vous International de la BD de Gatineau running from october 9th to 12th. among the special guests this year are Loustal, Lewis Trondheim, and Lynn Johnston. i'll be conducting an on stage interview with the latter at some point over the weekend. i'll post a schedule of events including that interview (of which i am slightly terrified) and my own signings a bit closer to the event.

EDIT...

my portfolio...

hi kids,

i've just updated my links to include my new (and somewhat hastily thrown together) portfolio.

there's not a huge amount there right now, but it will change and grow to include a comics, and a design section among other things. i'm hoping to replace it eventually with something a bit more snazzy, but it'll do for now.

just click here (that is, if'n you're too lazy to scroll your mouse over to the link in the sidebar...)
