Bright, nicely deadpan narratives from illustrator Jenn Liv

Toronto-based illustrator and cartoonist Jenn Liv is a whizz with colour. With sustained attention to detail, she illustrates often quite stereotypical moments but always with a twist. There’s a great battle between two knights on a cliff edge at sunset, both just giving up; a romantic moment, flowers, a white dress, a gust of wind and the man just nonchalantly wandering off.

Jenn graduated last year and has since been publishing her comics and illustrating for Blueprint Magazine, BOOM! Studios and exhibited with the Light Grey Art Lab. Her work has a nice, socially perceptive sense of humour to it and a great sense of purpose in terms of process and application.
