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!
My bio/graphic memoir Aurora Borealice has been picked up for publication in Spring 2019 by Conundrum Press.

I illustrated this children's book, written by Beryl Young, hopefully it will be out in bookstores in the spring. The shipment got held up due to COVID... arg! It was published by Midtown Press in Vancouver. The artwork was done in pencil then digitally coloured and it's hard cover.
I'm planning on having a table with this book and my Graphic Novel for sale at VanCaf this May, if all goes well...

I'm so pleased Andrew has followed in his grandfather (Marshal Mcluhan) and fathers (Eric Mcluhan) footsteps. I've been auditing Andrew's online class over the last year. He has a way of bringing Understanding Media to life! If there're any Mcluhan geeks out there I encourage you to find out more.
I've been studying Mcluhan for over forty years and it's a gift that keeps on giving.

A chat with Margaret Atwood and Ken...
Hope you can drop in on our conversation. We're going to geek out about McLuhan, one of my biggest influences. I'm thrilled to have Margaret on board!!!

One of the most enjoyable things I did this year during the pandemic was to take a 12 week virtual class with Andrew McLuhan. Above is a certificate from Grey Area who is based in San Francisco, they're an online virtual classroom. I hope you'll check out their site. Andrew McLuhan will be giving a second and third class on Marshall McLuhan's Understanding Media book, starting sometime in March. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in the effects of technology on our culture.
