Year 2026: ​​From Yukon Graphic Recording to Boreal Inking

 

After 5 fulfilling years of operations illustrating projects across the Yukon and beyond, I have decided to turn the Yukon Graphic Recording page and start fresh. Starting in April 2026, I will be putting my operations on pause for several months. This pause will allow me to focus on writing and drawing my second graphic novel. During this time, I will also redefine my professional objectives as an illustrator, possibly get additional training, and develop new branding.

 

While many aspects of this transition are still to be confirmed, there are a few elements I can communicate already:

• Yukon Graphic Recording will no longer exist as an operating name. Instead, Boreal Inking will become the official business name.

• Boreal Inking will continue providing illustration and graphic recording services. 

• Boreal Inking will focus on supporting projects in natural sciences, including topics related to the Earth and minerals, water systems (surface, underground, ocean), atmospheric systems and climate. These topics line up with my initial education and training as a geologist, and are those I feel most passionate about contributing to as an illustrator. That said, many projects focusing on Earth systems also investigate relationships with, and impacts on, wildlife, vegetation and human beings, and I will continue to integrate these broader issues into my work.
