Liquid City 2 comic anthology

Friday, October 1st, 2010

Hello, and sorry for the lack of updates! Been busy with work, as usual.

However, I am happy to announce that the comic anthology Liquid City 2 has been released! You should be able to pick it up in stores now.

My husband and I contributed a short story called ‘Worn’, which I think I slammed out over 4 or 5 days several months ago. The style is a bit of a departure from the usual, but I think it worked out quite well. For Sandman fans, I hope you enjoy the stylistic influence of Marc Hempel (I loved his work on Kindly Ones and his stuff has been an influence on me ever since).

Liquid City 2 is the brainchild of Sonny Liew (Wonderland, Regifters, My Faith in Frankie), and is a compilation of short comics by artists and writers who hail from South East Asia. There are some lovely stories in this book – I really liked ‘Salvage’ and ‘Paper City’.

You can preview all the stories on the comic’s official website. The book should be available at all comic book stores now, or on Amazon.com

Some new work for Salon, which is a specialty magazine for the salons and stylists. It was a very fun job where the editors and art directors decided to go all retro-stylin’! I did a bunch of illustrations for their special business issue, so each piece covered a specific business tip like making the most of photo shoots, increasing counter sales and recruiting. I also did a 2 page comic spread covering ‘a day in the life’ of a Toronto stylist who was trailed by a business expert who gave him tips on improving his business day.

Liquid City artwork

Thursday, November 13th, 2008

Now that the Liquid City anthology is out (and it’s lovely), I guess its safe to show off some of the pages from the short. Our story , Eidolon, is the closing piece, and if anyone wants to send comments that would be rad.

Newsarama interview with Sonny Liew

Saturday, September 13th, 2008

Newsarama did a nice interview with my friend Sonny Liew about the upcoming Liquid City comic anthology. It’s a good read, so check it out! My husband and I have a story in the anthology (a whole 17 pages!). The tome is going to weigh in at over 300 pages I hear, but it’s a great collection of rather unique viewpoints from artists and writers mainly from Southeast Asia, so hopefully the size and price aren’t going to put off anyone later! Book comes out in November.
