In university I was part of a drawing collective called the Society of Anonymous Drawers, and our goal was to take the pressure out of drawing well by forming a fake anonymous drawing society. We made lots of exquisite corpses.

I like to draw things from my own life. Lately I've been doing a comics about the movies I'm watching. Those are sometimes enjoyable to draw.

black and blue. It just always works for me.

I am currently juggling 3 different projects. The first is about working at a Call Centre in Moncton, the second is about how images distort our idea of reality, and the third is more or less a pandemic diary. I share occasional updates on my Instagram, and more regular updates, as well as the completed works on my Patreon (but you have to pay for that).
