# About me

Hiya folks! I'm Caanan. A simple cartoonist. I had my first book published in 2010 with DC Comics, called Celadore. It originally ran on Zuda.com. 180 pages of secret societies, nymphs, shapeshifters, vampires, genies, a unicorn and kids being kids. Since then, I've been doing Max Overacts on my site, OcassionalComics.com which was nominated for an Eisner Award in 2011, and updates monday, wednesday & fridays (though right now it's tuesdays and fridays because I need to slow down before I hurt myself.)

Current Residence: Calgary, AB
Favourite style of art: Cartoons

What an amazing collection of witty, charming and thought provoking art. I have never laughed so much, or wanted to favor so many pictures before.

Thank you very much for sharing your talent.

I love it when people laugh! That's what I'm here for. If you like my sense of humour though, you should really follow a link to my comic, Max Overacts. You may just laugh some more. ;) (Wink)

Thanks!

Looking at your picture of Mockingbird and Hawkeye Pierce reminded me of something. What I would like (need) to see is some World War II era Superhero leading a member or two of the cast of Hogan' s Heroes out of Germany.

Well, I tried that. I searched using "Hogan's Heroes" and "Superhero." Nothing at all. Any suggestions?

Hey Caanan!
I bought Max Overreacts at TCAF and got around to it and loved it as much as you persuaded and am now catching up on the site.
Keep up the awesome comics.

Thanks! I've been asked to do a workshop on making comics with kids at Lethbridge Word on the Street this year so I'm quietly pooping my pants. ;) (Wink)

I'm working on getting enough comics to justify getting a table sometime next year, myself.

I helped the group I do anthologies with at Stumptown, so I got a taste. I'm hooked!

I'll be writing to DC at the end of this year to ask for my rights back. If they don't care to hold on to it, that leaves me free to make new stories, and boy do I have new stories to tell! :D (Big Grin)

I generally keep them closed but I also find that doesn't stop most people, so I end up doing the occasional commission, etc. ;) (Wink)

Thanks, Scurron! Max is my default speedy style, so most things here took longer and required more concentration on the art side of things.

joulester [2013-04-18 02:55:05 +0000 UTC]

I love your work! Your drawings look like they were done without much effort, but hard to match in terms of quality. I'll be watching out for your gallery, for sure.

I must say I'm much motivated by your works, sir. I see I still have much to learn just by looking at your drawings. You've given me something to shoot for in my own endeavors!

Caanangrall In reply to joulester [2013-04-18 03:02:02 +0000 UTC]

I too am still learning, joulester, but I'm glad I can inspire anything in anyone! My motto is if it can't be funny, at least make it fun. That doesn't help me any when it comes to drawing hands though. ;) (Wink)
