I work as a children's book author and illustrator. Comics and young adult books are my preferred medium- as much to read as to produce.
I love doing color work on the computer but haven't found a replacement yet for the feel of the pencil on paper, or the look of pen and ink on bristol board.
Huzzah! I found out my book Cat's Cradle : The Golden Twine was chosen as the winner of the 2013 Joe Shuster Dragon award (best comic for kids)! I did about 3 double takes (is that a quadruple take then?) when I saw the results. I'm over the moon! :D

My first book as an author/illustrator has been launched!
Cat's Cradle: The Golden Twine is now available on Amazon and in major bookstores.
I love graphic novels, painstaking as they are to make. This was my first color comic and figuring out the color scheme was definitely the trickiest part. I've learned a lot from the experience and I'm looking forward to making the second book of the series even better!
