It’s time to go back to traditional line work for now. Thank you to the Canada Council for the Arts for supporting our work on this book, A Rift in the Valley, and Ottawa School of Art for their residency.

Join us for the revived Ottawa Comic Jam this Sunday! We were a small but mighty crew at the first jam last month, and it would be great to have more hands on deck cranking out pages.

"Join us for some laid-back comic making. Comix creators of all skill levels are encouraged to attend. Last Sunday of Every Month, 12:00–3:00, Beyond the Pale, 250 City Centre Ave."
