Do not discount Aboriginal oral histories. They are often the only record of historical events like these, volcanoes and other major disruptions to life in Australia before colonisation, and can go back thousands of years with an accuracy that is unknown elsewhere.

Big thanks to the university of Victoria for having me in (virtually!) to speak with their indigenous language class! Always a treat to talk with people learning our languages and revitalizing for me!

YouTube needs to ban fake AI ads using the likenesses of world leaders etc. it's ridiculous the level of scrutiny some YouTube creators face, meanwhile the company allows scam ads on the platform.
Google, you need to stop this shit.

I'm sorry but if you tell me that something "has it all" I hear it in Bill Haders "Stefan" voice from SNL and then I might nod as you talk but I'm thinking about a warehouse in Soho or some shit with broken glass on the floors, human DVRs and five homeless Elmo's.

Just finished up a kids book pitch for what I think is the most fun and educational thing I've ever been a part of! Wish me luck!
Also this has an all indigenous creative team that would ROCK!

My record on season at Roll Up The Rim 2 Win is now 0-6. Might be time to fire the coach and GM.

Currently writing sequel to one of my graphic novels- the first sequel I've written.
Aware/ paranoid of the sophomore slump; how in movies for example so many sequels suck compared to the original.
Anyone know of movie sequels that are BETTER than the first film?

Writing the 2nd of a 3 book series, graphic novel.
Blessed to be offered a 3 book deal not only cause that's awesome but knowing it will be a trilogy alters approach to story + allows you to plot out long arcs, character development across multiple books, plant seeds that will pay off down the road

Most of my work now is writing and less so illustration - I have a range of books that will be coming out over the next few years across a variety of genres, picture books, graphic novels and recently sold my first novel to Penguin Random House / Tundra!

I then went on to illustrate two bestselling books written by Robert Munsch, Blackflies and Bear for Breakfast, the latter of which was published in Anishinabemowiin.

For people who may not be familiar with me, I created a graphic novel called Kagagi: the Raven that became the first Indigenous super hero television series, which I produced!
