Laura: "My grandmother was African and from Mali. She moved to Switzerland when she was four, and then went to Paris to study. War erupted back home, so she could never go back. This book is part of a saga that takes place in the 17th century and is about the colonization of Canada. My Dad gave it to me and I am loving the story, because it reminds me of the fight for freedom that my grandmother passed on to me." @laura.vandehel reading #TheOrenda by #JosephBoyden / @marta_bh for #subwaybookreview #london 🇬🇧 (at Moorgate London Underground Station)

The Orenda by Joseph Boyden

The Lost Wampum

“...I tread to shore with the Crow and seven men, all carefully selected by age for that combination of wisdom and strength. The girl will wait here until I call for her. As the enemy demanded, wampum and the girl will be exchanged for my life being spared....”

More roughs to follow!

Haven’t had much time for creative work after the birth of my son, but now I’m trying something a little different to get back into the groove. 

I just finished reading ‘The Orenda’ by Joseph Boyden, and was inspired by the events in that book. So much that I think I’m going to attempt and adapt it into a comic. Just something fun to keep me busy and practice both my storyboarding & comic making skills! It’s a long book so we’ll see how much I finish by the end but here’s a little something from the chapter ‘The Lost Wampum’... more updates soon!

P.S., how sexy is this new paperback cover?!

"I didn't kill anybody..."

Well that’s all well and good little ducklin’, but there’s only so many of our kind in Skyrim, and there’s witnesses. And the local law doesn’t really care if they were slavers or not, if they catch you, you’re goin’ to dance th’ merry jig on the short drop and sudden stop.
