What I’ve been doing

Cloudscape Comics, Epic Canadiana, Pulp Literature

So it’s been a loooooong time since I’ve posted here. When I’m teaching to make money, working with Cloudscape Comics, writing my own comics, writing a couple of novellas, and even running an Unknown Armies rpg, it’s hard to make time for other things as well.

But anyway, as horrible as 2016 seems to have been for everyone else (the death of numerous actors and musicians, the death of Umberto Eco, Brexit, the rise of Trump), it has actually been pretty good for me. I got a comic published in Pulp Literature, Epic Canadiana (which I designed, edited, and wrote a couple of stories for) won the 2016 Gene Day at the Joe Shuster Awards for excellence in comics, and Cloudscape’s latest anthology, Bones of the Coast, is current heading to the printers. So that’s all exciting. I’ve been getting involved in all sorts of lovely projects even if the rest of the world is spiraling into the Abyss. Does that balance everything out?

Anyway, exciting things have happened and more exciting things are currently in the works.

So much stuff to do

Cloudscape Comics, Epic Canadiana

When I was a kid, I felt like there was so much stuff coming at me from all directions: English homework, Math homework, Socials homework, etc. I think that I felt that once I reached adulthood, things would calm down and there wouldn’t be so much stuff all at once.

Obviously that has proven not to be the case. Being an adult is nuts. This seems especially clear right now, where I currently have to (deep breath):

  • Go through my very busy work schedule
  • Move to my new apartment
  • Work on various Cloudscape Comics stuff
  • Send-off copies of my new anthology Epic Canadiana to all contributors
  • Find time to work on a science fiction short story
  • Send-off pitches for my pirate comic
  • Clean and do the dishes
  • Do various other things I can’t remember right now.

Yeah, it’s a lot of stuff. I really envy my 12-year-old self right now. But on a positive note, here’s a picture of Epic Canadiana #2, my new anthology of Canadian superhero comics, edited by me and with stories by me and numerous other great writers and artists. Go team!

It’s been a weird few years

Over the last few years, I’ve gone through some dramatic changes. One prominent example is that I’m not really doing much copywriting for clients anymore. As a result, I’ve now changed the focus of this website to be about my more personal writing projects, such as the anthologies I do with Cloudscape Comics and my speculative fiction. I’m keeping my copywriting portfolio, but other than that have dramatically reorganized everything. I’ll also be using this blog more to keep people abreast of the stuff I’m working on.

CBC, Georgia Straight, media interviews, Vancouver Courier

As a board member of Cloudscape Comics, I’m heavily involved with promoting our anthologies as well as our brand as a whole. As part of that, I’ve arranged various interviews for Cloudscape with such prominent media outlets as the Georgia Straight, the Vancouver Courier, and the CBC. To read them, visit the new Media Interviews section of my website.

Cloudscape Comics, multimedia, Shaw TV, Vancouver B Movie Project

The last few months have been very busy with various projects so I sadly haven’t had too much opportunity to check in on this website. One project that was especially unusual was helping to create an episode of the Vancouver B Movie Project. This team of aspiring movie-makers creates a short movie every week, and each month, the process of creating one of these movies is televised on Shaw TV. The movie-makers of the B Movie Project joined forces with artists from Cloudscape Comics to create a multimedia story that shifts back and forth between live-action performances to stylistically-drawn comic panels. Take a look!
