The Cow-Moon Trilogy
Recently, I got a chance to revisit an older piece of mine in the best possible by creating two more finishing off a trilogy!
The original illustration :
To the Moon!, aka Holstein Hoist
And now, the continuing exploration of the relationship between the bovine and lunar:
The Future is Cow!, aka Red Angus Attack
Post-Apocalypse Cow, aka Highland Horror
Just as spring hits, there’s a new book out that I illustrated, called Canada Doodles! Written by Megan Radford, it’s a book full of half-completed cartoons for you, the reader artist to finish!
It’s part of an entire series of doodle books put out by Gibbs Smith—but this one has exactly 150,000 times more Canada in it than the others!
Get it at your local bookseller, or try one of these:

Shortlisted for Lane Anderson Award
While this isn’t directly related to the drawing side of my life, an award nomination is always worth mentioning!
My latest book, Canada Recycles, which I co-wrote with my wife Laura Suzuki, has been shortlisted for the Lane Anderson Award in the Young Readers category! The Lane Anderson Award celebrates the best science writing in Canada, and we’re delighted to be included in such company. There’d never been a book detailing recycling in Canada—and books about other regions were written years ago—so this project demanded a lot of primary source research to discover the current state of recycling of a variety of materials in Canada. It’s nice to be noticed: this sort of thing takes a lot of time to talk to the folks on the front line, assemble and then write in a friendly—and accurate—way.
So thanks to the Lane Anderson committee for putting us on the shortlist!

Back in the Studio
Not that I actually went far. But this space is new and there’s been a lot of things going on outside the studio, so it’s nice to be back. Let’s get to it, shall we?
