The Story Behind My Cartoon Gallery

My Cartoon Gallery is based in Western Canada and home to cartoonist Doug Edwards, his beautiful wife and business partner Diane, their cat Marble and several fish. The Gallery was created to offer personalized and unique gift ideas for everyone to share.

The original vision came to us through a family member's child - who by the way, is one of the models in our Gallery. Some days they're a monkey, climbing the walls and furniture, and some days they're as cuddly as a koala bear. It was from these references that Doug started to sketch out ideas ... and the Gallery was invented. 

Although Doug and Diane keep the show running, make no mistake ... Marble is in charge!

The Story Behind Devlin Ink.  

When Doug Edwards began his career some years ago he created a little cartoon dryad that would sometimes appear aside his signature. Upon recognition, and great curiosity, Doug was urged to fully develop Devlin into a comic character. Devlin is today best known for his antics in the online comic strip Devlin Ink.

As the story goes, it was only after fully developing Devlin from a sketch to a finished character that Doug was awakened one night to find his creation had somehow come to life and was rummaging through his studio. Doug had no choice but to welcome him into the family, a move he constantly ponders, but offers the elements to which the strip is built upon. It was from Devlin Ink.'s popularity that Doug started work on a series of Limited Edition Prints to showcase the dryad's more colorful side. A line of studio cards succeeded from that.
