A self-taught multimedia visual artist, Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas (b. 1954 in Prince Rupert, British Columbia) created his own method of painting and illustration by blending Asian brush techniques with Indigenous iconography. In his graphic novel Red, A Haida Manga (2009), Yahgulanaas uses this distinct style to pay homage to his roots on Haida Gwaii in the northeast Pacific. The tragic story – passed down through oral tradition – tells of two orphaned siblings whose peaceful lives are destroyed by the desire for revenge. The pages of the printed book can be removed and connected by their flowing “framelines” to recreate a 7.5-square-metre watercolour fresco by Yahgulanaas.
