Instructor | A. D. Greenless
A.D. Greenlees graduated from the Comics and Graphic Novels Program in 2017, where they published their first collection of stories titled Too Much. That year, A.D. joined Kraken Komiks, a comics collective local to Victoria, BC, Canada. They published a five page story—“Swipe Right”—in Kraken Komiks’ 2017 anthology, Primordial.
In 2018 Kraken Komiks published their fourth anthology—Space—that included A.D.’s three page silent comic, “Just Visiting”. And in 2019 their 8 page fantasy—titled “Dysphoria”—was published in Kraken’s Mystical Bestiary; this anthology was A.D.’s debut as project editor for the collective. They ended 2019 publishing 5 one page stories in Kraken’s Childhood Nightmares anthology.
