“Toronto Artist tells your love story in comics.”..
So how did you two meet anyway?
As any bride or bride to be knows, there isn’t always time to answer this question on the big day. But wouldn’t it be nice if everybody knew? If somehow your guests could have been there to see how your story unfolded and what it took to get to its final culmination…
Enter your friendly comicographer Janine Carrington, and her little studio called “This is Your Life Stories“. And what, you ask, is a comicographer? A comicographer is a professionally trained visual artist and writer who is hired to create custom made comics illustrating the important events of a person’s life. What Janine does is transcribe your love story into a comic that can be reproduced displayed and distributed in any way you see fit. This includes posters for your venue as well as unique wedding favours to be given away to your guests. This is Your Life Stories make fantastic gifts for loved ones living far away, and the artwork found within the comic looks fantastic on invitations, thank you notes and slideshows.
Like traditional wedding favours, your comic can be customized to match the decor of your wedding. Janine will incorporate your wedding colours and themes into the design of your books to make them a thoroughly tasteful and charming addition to your event.
This is Your Life Stories make an eternally meaningful wedding favour that tell your tale to everyone who picks them up. The stories will find an appropriate place on any household bookshelf or coffee table. And in the hands of interested readers they will spread the magic of your romance over and over again.
This is your life stories are designed to fit within your budget as well. Given that the charge for most projects is by the page or panel letting you specify the length of your custom made comic. Treat your guests to a quick 4 page depiction of your first look conversation or kiss or let your grandchildren linger over 25 pages of your story.
The key element of this is your life stories is Janine’s dedication to detail. She is committed to creating a character and environment that resembles as closely as possible the way you remember things. To Janine the details are key because they are an important part of any relationship that can be forgotten as the years go by and the memory of the first days of passion fades away. The artist makes use of a 1hr interview, and will keep in contact with you throughout the comic’s development to get in as much detail as possible.
Another key element of the stories is the passion and skill of the artist. Janine is the leader in her industry and is the first to use the term comicography to describe the discipline. She is an artist with more than 20 years of artistic experience and 15 years making comics under her belt. Her artistic career began at the age of four and carried on through art highschool, and art college where she studied animation, illustration and creative writing. She has worked as a free lance illustrator, storyboard artist and is the` author and artist of her own mammoth graphic novel series. Beyond her passion for comics she takes genuine delight in hearing the stories of the lives of others. She is careful however to only take on stories inspire her to do work that both she and you will be proud to display and that can be successfully completed in the given timeframe.
