Happy Friday! A few copies of my short graphic novel “After June” is available at The Beguiling, a delectable comic book shop in downtown Toronto. Each copy is available for $7 Cdn. There’s a section near the entrance dedicated to indie zines and that’s where you’ll find me!

“After June” tells the beginnings of an impossible crush I had two summers ago. It was exhilarating, obsessive, frustrating and hilarious. When I think back on it, I STILL can’t believe some of the things that happened! Oh the woes of infatuation…

Here’s a snippet of “After June”: www.wendyding.com/storyboards.html

Here’s the official Beguiling site: www.beguiling.com. It’s located at 601 Markham Street in Toronto, Canada.

Hopefully you’ll laugh along at my woes of infatuation with me!

Xoxo,
Wendy

These are snippets from “Friends or Enemies”, a graphic novel I illustrated for Rubicon Publishing. The story is about friendship and peer pressure between three best friends. The main character has to decide if she wants to switch to a gifted school and give up her current best friends, while one of the girls can’t seem to stay out of trouble. Oh drama! Even teen girls aren’t exempt, are they?

I can relate to this story as I’ve experienced similar situations as a school girl, plus going back down memory lane always feels special. I brought my own experiences and memories into the illustrations as much as I could muster.

It will be available as an educational book for teachers and educators in August 2009.

I thought graphic novels were never for me…until I had a story to tell, and now I do! Here are some excerpts from my graphic novel “After June” so far. It is still a work in progress.

This happened to me this past summer. What a fateful day that was…but I won’t get into the details. I am just happy I lived to tell about it and was saved in time.

A nine-panel storyboard outlining the events at the dance that ultimately leads to the discovery of Tony and Maria’s ill-fated romance. A soft, pastel palette is used to emphasize the nostalgia of the times and the romantic mood. Such a sad sad story…
