For years I have been working on projects for publishers written by authors other than myself. The time has come to reach beyond this and see what happens when I do something for myself. How will my style change? Where will I go with it? My current project is still (originally) written by another author, Lori Morgan, but the process we have gone through has allowed for the two of us and another writer, Jan Morrison, to brainstorm together to build a story that is more organic. A story that the storyteller has become a phantom consisting of particles of us three. In this project I have allowed myself to follow a path more aligned with self-voice then any other. Below is a rough from the current work. Even though it is called "rough" it may stay fairly close to this in the end. The story will be told in a graphic narrative style with a mix of sequential art and a few larger images, a move away from the single page images that I usually do in picturebooks.
