I'm a dyed-in-the-wool comic nut, who loves to draw, read and travel. When there's time I also love rpging Palladium system games.
I have a background in animation, and currently work with Brain Power Studio in the design department. I'm also a freelance writer and children's book illustrator.
I have enjoyed taking part in Scott McCloud's 24 Hour Comics Day challenge six times and this year participated in John Campbell's Hourly Comics Day challenge.
I run the monthly Comic Jam in Ottawa, ON Canada. If you're ever in town, feel free to drop by on the last Wednesday of the month at the Shanghai Restaurant (651 Somerset St. W.) 7pm-10pm (except December!)
