Seeds of Spring #6: The Principle of Common Understanding
The synopsis reads as follows:
In a boat on a serene lake, Naguset and Mandy discuss their futures and their mothers. Later, they dance away their troubles. Peter, stymied by bureaucracy heads even further east to conduct a survey of Manchuria. His new beard creates welcome moment of levity before he has to deal with a disaster that makes him question his life choices. He takes charge of what he can, crystallizing his principles about leadership and community.
In this innovative serial graphic novel, Naguset, a modern Canadian Mi'kmaq teenager, exchanges books and mix tapes with her pen pal, Chris. Her imagination sparks when he sends her a biography of the 19th century Russian anarchist Peter Kropotkin. The story juxtaposes Naguset's personal and political coming-of-age in her loving family home with Kropotkin's rocky upbringing in a princely palace. These two stories of eventful lives and bold hearts are interwoven with Kropotkin's theories of freedom, Mi'kmaq vocabulary and social history, and an uplifting punk soundtrack, creating a unique reading experience bound to inspire readers to think in new ways about the issues of our time.

It's already Portfolio Day once again.
Hello everyone. My name is Sacha. I am a comic artist from Québec. I am currently illustrating a historical YA comic series called Seeds of Spring about the life of the famous russian revolutionary and philosopher Peter Kropotkin, seen through the eyes of a current day indiginous teenager from Nova Scotia. Our fifth book was nomnicated for best Canadian independant comic in the Sequential Magazine awards for 2023 and book 6 will be available in stores any day now.
I am also collaborating with a startup game studio from Laval on a really fun indy game, however I can't really show anything for that yet (even though I cheated a few times)
And finally, I am actively taking commissions for DnD and TTRPG characters, since fantasy art is what I love doing best.
Looking forward to seeing all the cool portfolios. Mine can be found at: https://cara.app/sacharavenda

As I get into editing and as I am preparing to draw the cover for book 6, here are some early concept sketches that I did back in 2019 to develop the visual style of the series. I still like them today.
