Synopsis
David Collier begins his journal when he trades in the isolated and wind-swept prairie city of Saskatoon for Hamilton. For an artist it’s a land of opportunity. And the ink in his pen doesn`t freeze outside in winter any more! But Collier discovers that he has more worries. He is a father and a husband and the urban lifestyles he captures on his sketchpads make him feel more remote as an artist then he did on the prairies. The sketchbooks were supposed to document and affirm his new life! Instead their pages become a space where his anxieties wrestle with his desire for a home.

From the Publisher
As eccentric, diverting, curious, wry and compassionate in life as in his work, David Collier has brought his 20 years experience crisscrossing Canada to his books. Fascinated by forgotten people and kooky stories, Collier regularly drives cross-country to track down research and the "dish" on some Canadian lore. His work reflects a uniquely Canadian mix of wide-eyed whimsy and prairie-frozen wit. Born in Windsor, Ontario in 1963, David Collier's first strip was published in Robert Crumb's Weirdo when he was 23. His strips have appeared in various newspapers, magazines, and anthologies including Zero Zero and Drawn & Quarterly, but they have since been collected in two Drawn & Quarterly volumes. 1998 saw Just the Facts: A Decade of Comics Essays, followed in 2001 by Portraits From Life. David Collier has lived nearly everywhere across Canada but now calls Hamilton, Ontario home where he lives with his wife and young son.
