Oliver McTavish-Wisden is a comic artist and Community Arts Programmer living in New Westminster and working throughout the greater Vancouver area. As an artist and programmer, Oliver’s work is focused on engaging the public in the arts, either as consumers or as artists themselves. His major body of work, Comics in Transit, takes comics out of the constraints of the book format and reimagines them as public artwork, installed in bus shelters for the public to read. He is also a member of the band sleuth and an avid scuba diver!
Oliver is also the Treasurer of Cloudscape Comics, a non-profit organization dedicated to publishing BC graphic novels and fostering a community for comic creators to network, learn from each other and innovate! Check out their website and consider buying a comic or two.
During this isolation period, Oliver will be working on a short story for an upcoming Cloudscape anthology entitled Welcome to Mina’s, a slice of life book about Vancouver life, and some personal dream journals.
His band also released an EP recently called ‘Gold’, which can be found here.
