Welcome to my blog! I want to share what I've been up to lately. The image above, which is the wraparound cover for Scrappy Jack a book I wrote and illustrated. It's a biography of my dad, who had plenty of stories to tell and he lived to be 100 years old. The original version called "So, That's That!"was given to him on his 100th birthday many years ago. That's me and my brother, dad, and two sisters in the junkyard where I grew up. The best playground any kid could ask for!

I'm so happy this event is happening in Hamilton at the central library. Below is the old building, featured in my graphic memoir Scrappy Jack. The new library is part of the Jackson Square now. The old building still exists. Many years ago my dad use to frequent that library regularly, as a young boy. How appropriated I'll be presenting his story book there...

Here's a recent CBC interview I did with Gregor Craigie, about my book.

Here's one of the few photos I have of the "Boomtruck" featured in my book Scrappy jack.The three people (my brother and two friends) sitting on the front, acted as a weight to hold it down. I'm not sure what my dad was trying to pick up on the other end but it must have been heavy. Notice the red gas tank on the side... that was the fuel tank!
