Graphic Novels

After years of making mini comics, I am now working on my first long form graphic novel entitled “Pieces of Me”. The creation of it has been supported by the Canada Council for the Arts.

“Pieces Of Me” is a memoir about my psychotic breakdown, told through a series of visual metaphors and real life events that emphasize my growing disconnection and break from reality. The first half, describing the breakdown, is titled “The Ruins Of Everything I Love”. The second half, titled “Pieces Of Me”, starts with the metaphor of my mind literally being in pieces as I try various methods to put myself back together. These include therapy, medication, spirituality, pets, and relationships. It takes years of trial-and-error, hindered in part by my fear of institutionalization and medication, for me to be able to establish a sense of connection to the world around me and rebuild my relationships and my connection to myself.
