Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas is a BC Haida artists who’s chosen a hybrid form of sequential art to be he’s medium of choice as of late. He’s published two critically acclaimed graphic novels and several short works, and already has had his work purchased for the permanent collection of The Museum of Anthropology, a remarkable achievement by any measure and one that is as good for our favourite medium as it is for his own growing reputation.
Michael’s been getting a lot of attention as of late,  the latest high profile spotlighting of him and his work is on CBC Arts Canada. Thanks to a link provided on that page his personal web page has enjoyed a flood of traffic! Approximately 250 in 24hrs, and he’s up to 29 at the time of the writing of this post, 2:49am central. This can only be good. AS amazing as all that is I suspect there’s more to come. Given that he is exceptionally talented, and that his work is about to be seen on what can only be described as an internationally LARGE scale….well….
