Rose to the challenge.
Here are my drawings of twelve amazing Canadian female JUNO nominees that i used as the backdrop for my performance. Have to say, it was challenging and empowering to try and capture a goddess in a few lines 🔥

Today's tributes are awesome because they're all inspired by the greatness that is Bookie. He believed in the power of song and was supremely gifted at communicating that belief. He was one the truest friends music's ever had. A rare bird. The Late Great Dave Bookman.
