About

Faith Erin HicksBorn in the wilds of British Columbia, the young Faith frolicked among the Sasquatch native to the province before moving to Ontario at age five. There she was homeschooled with her three brothers, and developed an unnatural passion for galloping around on horseback, though never without a proper helmet (because you only get one skull). After twenty years of suffering through Ontario’s obscenely hot summers, she migrated east, and now lives beside the other ocean in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She worked in animation for a bit, and now draws comics full time. She’s not sure how that happened either.

Hiring Status: Open for comic-centric workshops (children, teen & adult) and short term illustration/animation related work. Send an email for rates if you’re interested. VERY busy drawing comics at the moment, so if you have a long term project you think I might be right for, please consider emailing my agent first.

FAVORITE CARTOONISTS:
I think it’s very important that comic book artists let others know whose work they enjoy, so here  are my favourite:

Naoki Urasawa (Monster, 20th Century Boys, Pluto)
Jeff Smith (Bone, RASL)
Hiromu Arakawa (Fullmetal Alchemist)
Nate Powell (Swallow Me Whole)
Paul Pope (100%, Heavy Liquid)
Fumi Yoshinaga (Flower of Life, Ooku)
Raina Telgemeier (Smile, Babysitter’s Club series)
