Meet Henry Grandison

The designers and developers of cartoons and other graphic artists from the Caribbean have an abundant imagination . Working in the shadow , they create many stories , so many reflections of our ideas and our desires .

Henry Grandison is one of them and an accomplished graphic designer who develops some of its activity within Grandison Design. Another part , not least , is that of comics . For it, he received his 2nd place award for best Character at Kingstoon 2016 in March. Some of his creations are visible in I-Land Chronicles.

We share with you some pictures and a few words he kindly gave to ‘Yé Clik‘ .

I was born in Annotto Bay St. Mary, Jamaica. From birth I was exposed to fine art and soon I developed my passion for comic book art which was supported by my mother. I am a comic book artist and creator of Maroonblack. MaroonBlack is a Jamaican comic book that integrates the use of Jamaican folklore, legends and myths into a fictional story of magic and intrigue. It is action packed and is relatable worldwide.

I-Land Chronicles is a comic magazine for the Caribbean similar to what Shonen Jump is for Japan. It features several comic books from various artists. I-Land Chronicles was created by Kevin Jackson, Patrick Allen and Rory Daley, whose hope is to propel the comic book industry in Jamaica.

I would tell the Caribbean comic book artist to use their culture in their work because it is rich and the world needs to know of it.
