The Vancouver Sun profiles CanCult fave Camilla d’Errico. I’ve got a print of OctoGirl, above, in my office, hanging next to a print of Myke Amend’s The Rescue. Yeah, I have a thing for tentacles.

The 28-year-old d’Errico is an ethnic Italian raised in the tiny B.C. town of Lumby and has her cute boots firmly planted in Vancouver while practising Manga, a storytelling art form indigenous to Japan.

It is impossible to describe the megalo-industrial-complex that is Camilla d’Errico. OK, I’ll try. Pop surrealist painter, manga comic illustrator, toy designer, video game character artist. You get the idea.

Everything she touches turns into something else. Comic book character turns into plush toy. Video game turns into comic book turns into movie. Classic literature turns into comic book turns into graphic novel turns into who-knows-what-next.
