Revered art director Brian Morgan recently commissioned this pack of drawings for Royalcon 2007, a Montreal gamer's convention, now in its second year. It was a strange assingment because I never actually got my mitts on the script (click on the image to cycle through the art). Despite this, I've determined the storyline goes something like this: duing the Expo '67 dig, a subterrainian monster lair is roused. Ungodly beasts are unleashed. The beasts take control of the city, and cause humans a lot of problems for several decades. There is a resistance against the beast-lords, but all efforts to topple their heartless regime are futile. Humanity looks to be doomed. But in the bowels of a Montreal-area technical college, a super-ape has developed a potion (which happens to share several chromosones with poutine) that, if dispensed in the core of Beast-Lord's nervous centre (let's call it a the hive) could save the great frozen metropolis. The game starts here.

I worked on an illo for an R.M Vaughan Story that appeared in the Globe and Mail during Toronto's Pride Week. Vaughan proposed that the parade has lost its counter-culture caché, and has become a corporatized, over-policed mockery of its former, fabulous self. I'd link to the story, but the Globe's website locks down the article after a breif window of free access (boo, hiss).
