Ian Reid

We lost our beautiful, loving friend Ian Reid earlier this month. The Tyee kindly invited me to share some of my thoughts about him, and that article is now live on their site. The Tyee is a public affairs publication, and I focused on Ian’s political impact....

In which I draw fanart, because I’m a fan

It’s been about, good grief, 30 years since I last drew fanart. (I’m going to go out on a limb and say it was X-wing fighters, TIE fighters and the Millennium Falcon.)

But Noelle Stevenson’s (gingerhaze) webcomic (soon to be a book!) Nimona is just irresistible. A recent page had a rampaging, fire-wreathed hellbeast triggering a lockdown on levels B1 through B3… which made me wonder, how did that make the people on level B4 feel?

I’m guessing “nervous”.

Here’s the same hellbeast, a few seconds after the sprinklers go off:

I’ll admit, I’m kind of flummoxed over etiquette. Do you post fanart on someone’s webcomic as a comment (or is that presumptuous)? Post it on your own blog and link (or is that spammy)? Webcomic friends, got any insights?
