Something is better than nothing



I've really dropped the ball on posting here regularly. I want to share something at least once a week. So instead of posting nothing at all, I'm going to go easy on myself and not worry about writing a lot, if I don't have the time. 

Here are some pages from a documentary-style comic I'm doing, about people and salmon. 

This is part of a two-year collaboration with sound artist and ethnographer Jenni Schine.

One day there will be a website for the project and I'll share that here, because I think the subject of wild salmon health is important and needs to be shared. But I do want this blog to focus on the process and less about glitzy final products and successes and the things you usually read about on social media. I hope I can keep this blog messy and complex, somehow. When I have the time.

As I work on these pages, I realize that I've always been more influenced by comics and graphic novels than any other storytelling medium. It's nice to be working with panels and pen and ink. The film is on hold until December 19th, for an intermediate deadline with this comic.

That is all for now! Until next week..?
