This place is quickly becoming the art community I hoped it would be. I hope it just continues to grow and grow.

I sadly don’t have time for Inktober this year once again. But I’ll post some old favs from past years throughout the month.

These are from 2019. #inktober

Our Executive Director @librarylandia.bsky.social spoke with CBC about the Alberta government's censorship of comic books in schools.

Their attack on diverse voices is a continuation of how governments have historically exploited "moral panics" to threaten human rights. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Alberta has banned graphic books before. In the 1950s, 'salacious' comics were the target | CBC News

In 1954, the province established the Advisory Board on Objectionable Publications to investigate "crime comics" that supposedly inspired undesirable behaviour in kids.

This is from a comic that is currently on the back burner while I work on other comics. Hope to get back to it in a few years.
