What's for dinner? : news on whats new with Bernie Mireault
:: Posted by max @ 9/22/2007 12:06:00 AM
Hello, everyone!
What's New?
It's been a busy time for me.
My old work-mate, Gabriel Morrissette, brought me on board a rush project that he had to do for a young Canadian publisher by the name of Jackfruit Press.
They publish books for beginning readers on Canadian historical topics and they do a series called Canadian Prime Ministers: Warts and all, of which Gabriel had illustrated several and was currently working on Sir Charles Tupper: The bully who battled for Canada, and wanted a colorist.
I stepped in and after we wrapped that job up, I went on to illustrate a book in that same series about Sir Robert Borden.
After the Borden book, I agreed to do the design, layout and illustrations for a 96 page book about native land claims in Canada, called Your Home on Native Land, and it's turning out well. Written by Alan Skeoch. I'll put some pages up soon.
 For something completely different.
Local Montreal animation moguls, Cinegroupe, have got me to do a newspaper-style comic strip for a website dedicated to their computer-animated Sci Fi comedy TV show, Tripping the Rift. To be updated on a regular basis. It will be a story in 52 parts. If you're interested in having a peek, go here on www.trippingtherift.tv and get ready for a little scrolling.
These are the things that fill my days now, aside from trying to figure out what to make for supper. There's a good possibility that an interesting collaboration involving comics writer Joe Casey, Oni comics and Hercules may happen after I clear away my current commitments. A 4 issue series that I would draw. That would be fun!
I'll try and get in the habit of posting to the blog more.
Until next time!
