Haiku Comics of Hamilton Bay

Haiku Comics of The Hamilton Bay — “company”

Welcome to Haiku Comics of Hamilton Bay. Every couple weeks Monica Plant will share her special watercolor haiga, inspired by her favored Canadian landscape and terrain.

Monica Plant is a Hamilton (Ontario, Canada)-based artist, writer, and naturalist. She is also a self-described contemplative who “moves at a slow enough pace to see and hear things.” Introduced to haiku comics through Seattle-based comics artist David Lasky, she began publishing Haiku Comics of the Hamilton Bay, which shares her love of pause, place, drawing, writing, and the urban wild; the comics featured on The Haiku Foundation site stem from this series.

  1. Monica, it’s nice to e-meet you too! I know exactly how this picture feels and smells! You had asked if I knew that Hamilton had an urban wild, I certainly do! I was born and raised there, and the sight of Cootes Paradise coming into the city always feels like home.

  2. Monica, your watercolour captures the beauty of the shoreline – I can feel the water, hear the waves, and smell the beach!! Winter cold water dipping with friends is an experience!

    1. Margot,
