I've made a bunch of graphic novels. Most recent: CAROUSEL SUMMER (kids) and I HATED YOU IN HIGH SCHOOL (adults).
I teach comics & illustration around Vancouver. I spend my spare time sewing.

Hi! I’m Kathleen, a designer and cartoonist from Vancouver. I haven’t been actively making comics the past few years due to some ongoing health problems, but you can read almost 300 pages of my goofy, gay, silently musical comic series Band Vs Band at bvbcomix.com

Did Netflix crash for you? Watch this Stranger Things thing we made for Netflix while you wait!
Earlier this year we were asked by Ralph creative and Netflix to make a paper cut piece to help promote Season 5 of #StrangerThings! And that season is here!!
Hope you like this spooky Vecna we made! It was pretty fun to show off the process of everything involved in making something like this ✂️

took this stance real early on, have been paying close attention, and i have yet to see a single thing that manages to challenge that opinion even a little bit, rather than solidifying it into diamond-hard conviction
I'm an "A.i." abolitionist.
No consumer-facing LLMs or generative "A.i." in anything.
Sure, machine learning in science and a few other limited applications is fine.
But consumer-facing LLMs and generative "A.i." that are based on theft, push disinfo, and can be manipulated by billionaires?
No.

I'm down to my final ceramics class today (we're glazing our last pieces) & I truly can't believe I survived this fall. In 2026 I look forward to not spending every day cooped up inside doing work & making sure to see my friends more.

approved despite over 600 speakers signing up to speak to the budget, with all but a tiny number strongly opposed, and following a public engagement survey that found the majority of respondents supported a property tax increase to avoid cuts.
Vancouver's 2026 draft budget has PASSED.
Approved on a 7-4 vote on party lines, with ABC in favour and councillors Fry/Bligh/Orr/Maloney opposed.
Property tax freeze, $50 million more for VPD, and cuts to Arts, Culture, Planning and Sustainability departments, among others.
Full story to come.

ABC councillors saying that it's "unfortunate" people are linking closed baby change tables as being political, or part of the budget.
But it was a deputy city manager that explicitly raised removing them from high vandalism areas as part of cutting the budget for maintenance of civic facilities.

Fuck the border, fuck CBSA (Canadian Border Services Agency) - these people are just trying to make a living. Let them stay, you fascists
In the U.S., it’s common police departments don’t want to engage with immigration enforcement because it destroys trust with immigrant communities, notes Irene Bloemraad, a UBC sociology professor.

the government is amending the act to protect healthcare workers who provide involuntary treatment from liability BECAUSE ITS UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Today the BC NDP introduced Bill 31, the Mental Health Amendment Act, in response to an ongoing court case.
The BC Greens say the move is an opportunistic effort to protect its defence of involuntary treatment.

For graphic novels, especially adult genre fiction, it's incredibly helpful to review it online, talk about it, recommend it to a friend—adult fiction in the graphic novel space is difficult to place, and nothing convinces readers that they'll like a book more than the personal testimonial.
If you like an author's work, the best thing you can do is buy it. The second best thing you can do is ask your local library to buy it. Or, do both!
A reminder that the median book deal for a debut author in the UK is £7000, paid over 12-18 months. (from 2022 Society of Authors report). Some of your favourite writers are struggling. societyofauthors.org/2022/12/06/a....
