This summer I have been involved with The Illustrated Journey Youth Project, where I help newly immigrated and/or refugee kids draw and make a comic of their journey to Canada. After three months, the kids have now completed their comics and we are publishing them into a book and presenting their artwork in an exhibition. If you are in the area, please feel free to visit us at the youth exhibition! ;)

If you'd like to come for a preview of the comic and meet the kids from past and present projects, we will have a booth at Vancouver's Comicon this Sunday, Sept 13th from 11-5pm.

Here is another invite and more information, about the project if you'd like to forward it to your friends. Designed and illustrated by me :)

Art School Reviews is featuring an article I wrote for them about my experience in the Commercial Animation program at Capilano University. Check it out!

A kind thank you to Mike who runs the site for asking me to contribute and being patient and keeping me accountable to finish the review. It's a great website and I wish I had something like this to help me when I was researching local art schools.

Just to warn you - the review is quite long because I felt Capilano was under-represented and thus there were a lot of details to cover!
