Thanks for taking the time to check out my website! Of course there would not be a website but for the attention and effort of Salgood Sam, who has helped many artists with this sort of thing, despite being a busy and productive artist and writer himself. He has taken the old site, which he also designed years ago, dusted it off and given it a nice new format and a new home. I think it looks nice and works great and I'm working hard to get some new content in there. Some Flash animation is on the way, and under the link music over on the left there is some music already! From my band, Bug-Eyed Monster. It's going to be jam-packed with stuff. Thanks a million, Max!
Max Douglas [aka Salgood Sam] has just finished drawing a graphic novel called Therefore Repent!, written by Jim Munro. To see what Salgood does when he is not busy helping his graybeard friend pierce the technical veil, check out his website at www.salgoodsam.com
What's New?
It's been a busy time for me.
My old work-mate, Gabriel Morrissette, brought me on board a rush project that he had to do for a young Canadian publisher by the name of Jackfruit Press.
I stepped in and after we wrapped that job up, I went on to illustrate a book in that same series about Sir Robert Borden.
After the Borden book, I agreed to do the design, layout and illustrations for a 96 page book about native land claims in Canada, called Your Home on Native Land, and it's turning out well. Written by Alan Skeoch. I'll put some pages up soon.
For something completely different.
Local Montreal animation moguls, Cinegroupe, have got me to do a newspaper-style comic strip for a website dedicated to their computer-animated Sci Fi comedy TV show, Tripping the Rift. To be updated on a regular basis. It will be a story in 52 parts. If you're interested in having a peek, go here on www.trippingtherift.tv and get ready for a little scrolling.
These are the things that fill my days now, aside from trying to figure out what to make for supper. There's a good possibility that an interesting collaboration involving comics writer Joe Casey, Oni comics and Hercules may happen after I clear away my current commitments. A 4 issue series that I would draw. That would be fun!
I'll try and get in the habit of posting to the blog more.
