My buddy Gibson Quarter!! (and I might know the chick who coloured this…although I’m currently having angst and not willing to claim my work). This is the cover for FutureQuake #21, a British magazine. The cover is meant to come out at the same time as the Summer Olympics which are taking place in….yay, Britain. (Gibson and I also did the cover for FutureQuake #15, which ended up getting reprinted in an art book later that year.)
AVAILABLE TODAY!! New chapter of the ongoing webseries comic, Heroes of the North. This one is CHILLING ME SOFTLY and was written by Yann Brouillette, art by David J. Cutler, coloured/lettered by me.

A comic I’m colouring for artist Garry McLaughlin, script by Stephen Sutherland. For a con in Glasgow I believe?
Heroes of the North: Nordik pg 1 lineart by David J. Cutler, colours by ~KeirenSmith
just a quick tease…we’re still finishing up. Should be online soon, then in print end of April.
My next colouring/lettering assignment is for Heroes of the North. It’s a Nordik/8-Ball team-up story called Chilling Me Softly. They’re previewing this and other art at their site.

Yayy! The Adventures of Y Guy comic has been such a success for the YMCA of Greater Toronto that they’re doing another printing!
(written by Kathleen Gallagher, art by Christopher Yao, lettered/coloured by me)
Just got my comp copies of the Heroes of the North omnibus published by Ardden Entertainment. I lettered all the stories, and coloured two (Q & A with Alpha Q, and Hornet: Dark Origins. I was still using KT Smith at the time. All the comic art, except for some of the covers, is done by Marcus “MAS” Smith). Heroes of the North is a live-action webseries and comic book series done by#mce_temp_url# Movie Seals Entertainment out of Montreal. Rather than sit around and complain that there aren’t any tv shows or comic books with Canadian superheroes or villains, they decided to make their own. They’ve done it on their own money, and on their own time (while all working full-time jobs!). Last year, they were notified that copies of the comic book would be put into Canada’s National Library Archives.
The comics were originally published online, with the idea that they would have short print-runs, mostly to be sold at cons. But, Ardden Entertainment saw the booth at a comic convention in the States (maybe Megacon?) and negotiated a deal to sell the HoTN figures and to publish a collection of the comic stories.
Because the stories were to be seen online, I was asked to letter them a little larger than usual—it was a bit of a shock to see them in print! A couple of them are HUGE! But, all in all, I think they look good…(although I will probably size them down a little for future stories).
And…because of this interest, because the website is doing so well, and the live-action webseries is doing so well, Movie Seals has decided to do more comics. I’m currently colouring and lettering two new 12-page stories (art by The Northern Guard artist David J. Cutler and Undertow artist Gibson Quarter respectively), Ty the Guy is finishing up the script for a 12 pager (to be drawn by Pitt artist Richard Pace), and there are more to come…

The Adventures of Y Guy by ~written by Kathleen Gallagher, art by Christopher Yao, coloured and lettered by KeirenSmith. Produced by Toronto Cartoonists Workshop for YMCA of Greater Toronto
TCW is proud to partner with the YMCA of Greater Toronto to produce The Adventures of Y Guy. A mini-comic based on the Y’s new hero, Y Guy, promoting childhood health and exercise, the story is available online and print versions will be available in YMCAs in the GTA.
The Adventures of Y Guy was written by Kathleen Gallagher, drawn by Christopher Yao and coloured and lettered by Keiren Smith (all former TCW students, and participants in Holmes Incorporated #1 and #2).
Phew!! It’s out! I worked like a madwoman to get this done before I went off for my post-Christmas holiday with my family last month… The book is also to help promote Megathon in the Greater Toronto Area, raising funds to pay for 365 kids to have YMCA memberships.
