I designed 3 paper models of WWII aircraft and one of the Endeavour Space Shuttle for the Canada Aviation and Space Museum recently. These paper model airplanes are regularly constructed by children under the age of 8. If you walk by the kids’ activity table at the Museum this summer, you might see them. You won't be flying far in these.

In addition to the Golden Age Comics workshop, I did another project for the Canadian Aviation Museum’s 2009 holiday programming. Earn Your Deck Landing Stickers is a tour activity. When children visited the museum, they received sticker sheets with 12 naval aircraft in the museum’s collection and a dossier with the aircrafts’ corresponding carriers. As the children went on tour, they were instructed to place the sticker with its carrier once they saw the actual aircraft.

Le Studio coopératif Premières Lignes (SPL) is a Québecois comic art/publishing collective in Gatineau, Québec. SPL’s main goals are to expand comic book readership among the general public, explore content and artistic forms atypical to comics and publicize French Canadian bandes dessinées. It publishes a number of emerging and established comic artists under 6 collections and is a unique operation in that few art collectives formed by comic artists exist in Canada.

At present, I function as an administrator on SPL’s Administrative Counsel and as a graphic designer for laying out its books. Come summer 2010, I will be commencing a 4 volume mini-book series on the last capital punishment hanging in Ontario. Another book on transsexuality is in development with one of the collection directors.
