I have always loved visual art and literature so comics satisfy my craving for both!

Stained glass has told stories in sequential narration for 1000 years – that’s one reason I chose it as my profession. With a side order of cartooning!

You know I wrote Call Me Bill (Conundrum Press 2022), and it was nominated for Canada’s top prize, The Doug Wright Award. And maybe you know I am working on my second graphic novel. It’s a LOOONG process. Some threads get dropped even after you thought they were woven in.

Here is one. The blinded war photographer being led off the battlefield by stretcher-bearers… Still so many stories to tell. I hope someone picks up the dropped threads…
