Chiaroscuro

Odds are that if you are checking out the Blog here you are familiar with my comic series Chiaroscuro. If not, check it out at www.meanwhilestudios.com. The site has been under reconstruction and hasn't been updated in some time, but there's still lots there.

So it's about time for an update! Due to circumstances beyond my control, the last issue to arrive in comic shops was #7 back in May 2003. It's been my intention to collect the work into a graphic novel format at issue #10.

I've been working on the book as much as possible in the past few years and I'm happy to say I recently finished drawing the last page of what will be "Book 1".

Due to changes in the comic book industry I've decided to cease the publication of individual issue and focus on publishing the series as graphic novels. So hang on to those issues folks, they'll be collectors items.

I'm also pleased to announce that I've been awarded a grant from the P.E.I. Council of the Arts to help in the production and promotion of the book! Looks like 2006 is going to be a very busy year for me!

Where am I?

Canada's smallest provence and the Birthplace of Confederation in 1867. Famous for it's potatoes and "Anne of Green Gables". I was born in Summerside, the second largest "City", with a population of about 14,000. It's a strange little place. I took this photo on Water St. last summer. That's right. "Meat Bingo."

Feedbak




I do a monthly comic strip in the music section of "The Buzz", P.E.I.'s arts & entertainment newspaper which is likely not seen by many people outside the confines of the island. We refer to you people as being from "Away". So here's a few episodes from Feedbak.
