I was contacted by a friend, couple months back, to help out on a poster for an upcoming "Make a Wish Foundation" charity event with a  theme "music as a form of therapy". Music is pretty powerful stuff, especially during rough times, so I was immediately on board with the idea for a visual piece.

At first we played around with an idea of a superhero using music as a weapon- but eventually decided upon a kid discovering the power of song on his own- and wielding it in the face of some fearful odds. Once the poster came together- I just fell in love with the character (Russ- I've decided his name is Russ) and the world. I want to see more! Soon after, I met up with the very talented GMB Chomichuk (we worked on Cassie and Tonk together) and he put together the powerful verbage to go along with Russ's short story/adventure.


Just did this comic because I liked the idea, and wanted to bring attention to a good cause. 
Hope you enjoy!

Chasing Dreams is an annual fundraiser for the Children's Wish Foundation, raising money by selling music albums yearly

We are a collection of Winnipeg's most talented DJ's, Producers, and Musicians who have been lucky to share our music with others. It is time for us to use our passion to help others. We would like to raise $5000, all of which will go to the Children's Wish Foundation.

Any amount of donation is appreciated, and all proceeds go towards making the dream of a special kid come true. The Children's Wish Foundation has granted thousands of wishes of children diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. So, every donation goes a long way in making dreams of many a reality, but sharing this project with other people too is hugely appreciated.

Someday I  would love to do a followup story about a girl stuck in the same world with her violin...
