Graphic Novels
A la carte Graphic novel services include outlining, scripting, layouts, line art, and color. However, I can also package the whole comic, from discussing initial ideas to final lettered printer-ready artwork. Depending on scope, budget, and availability.
Content-wise, I'm mostly drawn to genre and high action storytelling for middle grade audiences and up. I can take loose ideas and form them into a comic book narrative or adapt an existing work (novel, outline, or script) into graphic novel storytelling.
Clicking on any of the book images will initiate a preview, don't mind the spinning circle, load times vary:

Storyboards
Storyboards are an essential part of film and animation, allowing the story to be pre-visualized before cameras start rolling. Presentation boards are more high-polish and used by Agencies to sell a commercial concept to a client. Shooting boards are quicker, typically b&w illustrations that are more concerned with aligning all known elements of the production -Director's vision, locations, casting, script- ahead of the shoot date!

Author Appearances
Author Appearances typically include a discussion of the graphic novels, with side quests into how they are made, research trips around the world, and the occasional drawing demonstration followed by a Q&A. Graphic Presentations are flexible and tailored to the audience I'm talking to- mostly school, libraries, and conference visits in my function as a graphic novelist.
