About Me

Hey all, some of you may know my work as penciller and co-creator of the Vertigo comic Y - The Last Man. I've been working as an illustrator in all types of media for over 15 years now. I won a Shuster award for Outstanding Canadian Comic Book Artist in 2006 and our book has garnered a few nominations including some Eisners, a Harvey and a Prix du Scenario at Angouleme. Probably the neatest was being added to the Wall of Fame at my old high school, Terry Fox Senior Secondary back in 2005. I'd like to think of that one as 'Ultimate Mom Crack'.

I live in Vancouver with my amazing husband, writer Ian Boothby and three spazzy yet lovable cats. I also like to build dollhouses in my spare time.

Please check out my blog at www.hellkitty.com where you can read more about the next book I'll be working on with writer Tony Lee over at IDW. That's right, it's Doctor Who! Also, you can find information about pages for sale. Finally!

My Interests

Art, comics, miniatura, astronomy, travelling with my husband and a portable scrabble board.

I'd like to meet:

Y fans, Doctor Who fans, and anyone who loves comics.

Privacy setting mix up

I've had a couple of responses lately regarding some weird setting on my account that wouldn't let people add me as a friend without them knowing my last name or someting.  It took me a while to ...
