It is certainly an interesting time as my first graphic novel, Salt Green Death, is complete and being released to the world. Emotions (predictable and strange) come up – shock, awe, gratitude, fear, vulnerability, angst, nausea, joy, excitement, and…  peace. Yes, at times, peace.

I turned 63 last week and I’m living on the vapours of  hope and courage. Being an artist is my truest calling – I knew it since I first made marks on paper. I have never not been creating something. I have navigated enormous things. I have lost enormous things. Creativity has always been the solace. My backbone.

I feel clumsy and I wish I were braver. My mind spins, my heart flutters and my body slows and aches. I know I need to let go and trust. And… I keep creating. This is key. And I can honestly write that I am enormously proud of Salt Green Death.  

Here are some rough concept sketches from some upcoming projects. Onward!
