The Adventures of Jasper combines my love of
Siberian Huskies with my passion for comics, specifically
European comics in the clear-line style pioneered many
decades ago by Belgium's Herge, the creator of Tintin.
I remember when I discovered Tintin in the school library
at the age of 9. I devoured them! I loved Herge's realistic
artwork and the humour in his characters.

They inspired me to create my own comics that I worked
on in my spare time all the way through high school.

My early comic work helped land my first job as a
trainee layout artist with a Sydney animation company.
That was back in 1981! 30 years ago! Struth!!!

Originally from Australia (can you tell?), I moved to
Canada in 1994 with Kay, also an animation artist and painter,
and our first Husky named Ruby.

Since 1995 we've continued working from our home
based studio in the wilds of East Sooke BC creating
storyboards and designs for animation companies in
Canada, the U.S. and Australia. Disney TV, Warner Bros,
Hanna Barbera, Nelvana, Nickelodeon and Atomic
Cartoons are just some of the studios we've worked for
over that time. We also added to our team of Huskies over
the years, fostering (which to us usually means keeping)
rescues. This obviously, is where the inspiration
for my comic Jasper comes from.
