A fanart of Jinx, from the Arcane series. She's kneeling and looking at the camera, a hurt look in her eyes. The lighting is bright pink. An illustration in green and pink neon hues of my original character, Odette, looking at a machine to order soba noodles in a small backstreet in Japan. An illustration of a very detailed convenience store in the 1990s, in pinks and purples. The cashier leans against the counter looking bored. The shelves are full of items like bubble gum, chocolate bars, and cigarettes. The cover of my graphic novel, The Jellyfish. It's in purple tones. The drawing features the main character, Odette, seen from the bust up. Odette looks annoyed and depressed while a black jellyfish covers their left eye, its long tentacles reaching outside of the page.

A 4-panel comic. I'm tabling at the Montreal Comic Arts Festival. A young woman walks by my table and looks at my wares. She touches one of my books on a stand, then immediately recoils and shouts "Oh my god wait. These are books??" The last panel only reads "COMICS FESTIVALS" and there's my confused face in the middle, and I say "WTF"

I anticipated that it would be good, but this graphic novel is stunning!
Maybe the best thing I've read this year.

It was a trick so I couldn't see how dirty it was

A 4-panel comic. Still at the Montreal Comic Arts Festival, I'm headed for the restroom. As I step into the restroom, the light is off, and it won't turn on. I'm like "Ok, whatever" and lock the door and pee in the absolute dark, holding my phone light to my face.

A 4-panel comic. I'm at a comics festival. A guy walks by and says "Hey! I love your banner! It's really funny!" so I reply "Thanks! Wait until you read my comics!" So he asks "What's it about? A family going on adventures?". I say "Not really! It's all true events." He immediately replies "Oh, like the Simpsons!!" I hesitate but say "What no" then I hand him my card. "Grab my card and give it a try?" but he leaves saying "Nah, I just like your banner, bye"

A 4-panel comic. At the Montreal Comic Arts Festival, fellow cartoonist Laurence was tabling with her 3-month-old daughter. Laurence hands me her baby, saying "Can you watch her while I'm on a panel?" I gladly take the baby. Happy, I hold the baby while standing up behind my own table. People walk by and are surprised, they don't even say anything but I immediately say "Haha she's not mine!" But then this kept happening and everyone who walked by gasped and on the last panel I just keep saying: "Nope, not my third, Laurence's, not mine, no"

boum.bsky.social Boum @boum.bsky.social · 14d
I'll be at two events in Montreal in the coming weeks! First Expozine on the Sunday only, and then the Salon du livre de Montreal. I won't have my own wares, but you can still come and say hi if you're in the area!

Here's all the info (en français, sorry)!
A drawing of my face with screen tones. It says in French "salons d'automne", which means "fall fairs". My schedule for Expozine, 1025 Belanger E, in Montreal. Sunday November 16th, 12-13:30, at Pow Pow Press' table. My schedule for the Salon du livre de Montreal, which runs from November 19 to 23. I'll be there on the 19th, 21st and 22nd with various activities and signings.

I went to do a signing at a busy event where I signed exactly zero books and I basically worked less than two hours but I am exhausted: a case study

A 4-panel comic. We're eating dinner as a family. Our 6yo daughter holds her empty plate and says "I liked this dish a lot, can I have more please?" We both look at her incredulously. My husband says "Are you okay?" and I ask "Do you wanna lie down?"

"In Transit", page 182, 63% of pencilling done, it's progressing well, I'm hanging on, aaaah! (To come sometime in 2027 in French, probably, but then in English soon after?)
A pencilled page from my upcoming graphic novel "In Transit". It's two panels of equal sizes. In the first one, we see Adeline, dumbfounded, staring at the camera while nervously destroying a little sugar packet. In the second panel, it's Simone staring back, sitting across from Adeline, sweaty and nervous.

A 4-panel comic. We recently got a free Google Home. As we install it, m husband says "It's not that useful, but what harm can it do." The next panel shows the Google Home in the dark. My 6yo daughter walks up to it and says "Ok Google. Play 'Baby Shark'." As the song blasts through the house, we're still in bed and I look at my phone: 6:46am.

A 4-panel comic. It's spring, and the temperature has risen to 17C/63F. My kids at the park are wearing just hoodies. The other kids at the park, though, are still wearing tuques, scarves, mittens and winter boots. I look at them and wonder if I'm the best or the worst mom ever.

A 4-panel comic. The first panel reads: the Toronto Comic Arts Festival was very interesting because I completely lost my voice. On panel 2, I'm tabling at the festival, and I wave hi to a customer while pointing to a sign I made that says "I lose my voice!". The customer says hi but then mimes what they want. I then hold a larger sign that says "I can't talk but YOU can" and the customer just says "...right"
