Snow Day 002

A test first panel of Margo's "Snow Day," set in Sir James Douglas Elementary School, present day Fairfield. Line work is not as resolved as I would hope, this is something that will need to be refined. Colours muted and leaning towards ochre or umber.

Snow Day

Yet another project, yikes. Daughter Margo has written a cute story in Creative Writing entitled "Snow Day". It's ideal for a graphic short story. The setting in her story is ambiguous. However, after musing about present-day Fairfield as the possible location, and Sir James Douglas as the school the main character attends, I'm wondering about it being set in James Bay in the 1920's. The main characters could then actually meet Emily Carr, Lawren Harris and other Victoria luminaries and eccentrics who would naturally populate the area. Perhaps 613 Avalon could be the main character's home, similar to Harper Lee's "To Kill a Mockingbird". Hmmm...
