Cartoonist-in-residenceportrait

I created my first conference comics at Haiku Canada Weekend in 2009 and continued the tradition ever since.

I was the official cartoonist-in-residence at Haiku North America, Seabeck Haiku Getaway, Haiku Hot Springs, and Haiku Canada.

During the event, I created comics and presented them at the closing session.

Jessica Tremblay was the Cartoonist-in-Residence for the Haiku North America 2013 conference, which was held on the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California from August 14-18, 2013. Jessica's comics were featured on the conference blog once a week before the conference. This batch of comics featured "helpful hints" for potential conference attendees. These comics were also printed in the conference program as well as being featured in social media (facebook, twitter).

During the conference, Jessica created new comics capturing memorable moments of the conference which were then presented to attendees at the conference closing ceremonies.

Jessica's work was well received by attendees, and her closing ceremony presentation captured wonderful memories that will be long-treasured by all who attended. Jessica's contribution to the closing ceremonies also helped bind attendees together in shared laughter over shared experiences. It was a very meaningful way to close the conference.

Jessica's work greatly enhanced the conference experience for attendees and we feel fortunate to have had her on board!
