Some coloured spreads for this book for Annick.  This is a Graphic, 

non-fiction collection of 12 accounts of identity forming moments 

from childhood.  Its a real collaboration between the author 

Kate Scowen and I and the good folks at Annick. She put out a wide 

call for such stories and whittled them down to 12 lightly edited beauties.  

Then I take the original story as written by the person who lived it, 

along with some illustration notes as imagined by Kate, and mash 

them together until the story arc works while drawing them out at 

once. Liking how the same energy in the line work transfers to the hand 

written text as you do them together.  Almost 1/2 way.

AI 28

Quite pleased to get the news yesterday that this one for the Globe 

and Mail was Selected to be in the American Illustration 28 annual.
