Here’s the most recent Old Pond Comics published in Haidan (December 2016). I had the pleasure of illustrating twelve haiku this year to accompany articles by Emiko Miyashita published in Haidan issues from January to December 2016.

My Haiku Canada Weekend 2016 Freebie
Image
I spent Easter Sunday cutting, folding and sewing a small comic book.
I will be giving them away at the Haiku Canada Weekend, May 20-22, 2016, in Whitehorse, Yukon.
Every year, I was always waiting to the last minute to prepare my freebie, but this time I decided to prepare them early so I could focus on my presentations: I will be the keynote speaker and cartoonist-in-residence at the next Haiku Canada Weekend in May. I hope you can join us!
