Joan Steacy's Studio and Blog

Welcome to Joan Steacy's studio and blog! I'd like to share what I've been doing lately and what I've done in the past with interested people. I'll be posting ongoing projects with my thoughts and ideas and I hope you'll comment, thanks!

I finally found a job I was good at, though spelling was still a big challenge for me.
I was so glad we didn't have to write papers for Eric's class, which opened up a whole new world of learning. I considered myself so fortunate to have him as a teacher - I was all ears!

About me

I'm a visual artist who has worked in a variety of disciplines, including sculpture, traditional illustration, and digital painting. I grew up in southern Ontario, and moved to Victoria in 1987. I'm a graduate of Sheridan College, The Ontario College of Art & Design, and The University of Victoria. I currently teach at Camosun College in the Comics and Graphic Novels Certificate Program.

An interview with me at Sequential is available here.

AURORA BOREALICE

AURORA BOREALICE

Aurora Borealice is a trilogy of autobiographic graphic novels that chronicle my quest to find a voice in a rapidly changing technological world. It begins in the early 70’s, when I met a number of people who dramatically shaped my life: Ken Steacy, a crazy comic book artist, Eric McLuhan, an inspiring professor at art college, and media guru Marshall McLuhan...

I am currently serializing the third and final volume of Aurora Borealice throughout 2016.

New readers can go here to start reading from from the beginning.

So, that's that!

So, that's that!

So, That’s That! is an illustrated biography of my dad, based on stories he told me over the years, that I did for his 100th birthday.

The book is readable here.
