Happy Spring everyone! The season got off to an auspicious start with a sighting of a marmotte (AKA groundhog) scampering through the snow right outside of our front windows. He (or she) must have seen their shadow because we're still receiving plenty of snow up here in the Laurentides. But signs of spring are in the air, I spotted some dark-eyed juncos passing through, we see our local red squirrel almost daily, crows are busy gathering nesting material, rivers are melting, and I caught sight of a fox patrolling the still-frozen lake the other day.

Spring of course brings a new instalment of Look Listen Learn, my colab with writer Jaimie Franchi, the link to download the next three months of our nature calendar can be found below. I'm keeping very busy with a bunch of projects, including a very fun kid's book I will hopefully get to talk about soon, and some consulting I am doing for local publisher Pow Pow Press... More info about that and some comic festivals I'll be at below as well!

Until next time, I hope you are doing well and staying happy, healthy, and busy!

Pow Pow Press

Bringing Québec's Best Graphic Novels to America & Beyond

One of the most rewarding feelings for me is helping other creators out, whether that means designing book covers or running a comic book festival. In this vein, I am consulting with Pow Pow Press, the English-language branch of the folks who published my graphic novel TITAN in French. This coming year Pow Pow is going to be releasing a bunch of titles into the US for the first time, with the first books landing in your local comic shops late this summer. Expect to hear more from me about these fantastic titles and the amazing creators behind them soon! 

In the meantime, you'll be able to find me repping Pow Pow Press at several comics fests, including two that are fast approaching: TCAF and MCAF! See below for more details. ↓

By the way, If you are a blogger, reviewer, or otherwise cover the world of graphic novels, feel free to get in touch with me at francois@editionspowpow.com... I'd love to get some advance review copies of Pow Pow Press titles into your hands!
