Dominic Bercier - INTRODUCTION


ENGLISH :

My name is Dominic Bercier, he/him, and I am an Ottawa-based illustrator, cartoonist, writer, and designer who makes comics, graphic novels, and bandes dessinées, having contributed illustrations to various clients such as Sony Pictures, DreamWorks Animation, Nelvana, Image, Dark Horse, Top Cow and more, as an active illustrator since my teens.

Since 2010, Mirror Comics has been my hub for such creations as Ghost King, Treadwell, an ode to my home town in Eastern Ontario, my 24-hour comic Like Never Before & Like Never Again, and collaborations with Kristopher Waddell, J.F. Martel, and my dear master and mentor, Bernard A. Poulin, all of which are collected in the 2022 release I’ve named The PopTerra Collection in honour of a new kind of culture for the earth.

The colours, letters and French translations are brand new, thanks to a grant from the Bilingual Ottawa Program, with special thanks to l’ACFO d’Ottawa and the Government of Canada. The result is a mind bending and generous, colourful, and deeply loved creation and offering in at 500 pages each, one in English and one in French, so that one may enjoy in their preferred language, mind you… both may be purchased for comparison.

Other offerings have since speckled the revamped Mirrror Comics Studios networks, such as the SIGNAL Saga, The Ballad of Jimmy and Rose, a 24-hour comic about love and magic in both English and French, and shorter contributions to clients Lettres Québécoises, La Revue PLANCHES, Lev Gleason, celebrated for its Captain Canuck line, and a darker contribution in Jay Odjick’s The Outsider.

Perhaps the most unusual – and possibly most important – work is The Hope Book {What if Hope Existed, Only I could not see it?}, a deep dive into the concept of a darkness we universally face as humans, and some of us have spoken to, have understood, and have – ultimately – defeated.

My own battles to regain my mental health were epic and legendary battles inside my mind, and the insights are dotting and underlining themes in the stories that I illustrate.

My deepest commitment is to accompany my heroes as they struggle to make sense of their world and defeat the silver tongues that rig the game. Samuel, Orion, Adam, Jimmy and Rose, Dusk, Ash, Tyana, Kiai, even the misguided heroes, their lives are important to me, and I hope you’ll read them for their sacrifices to come to light, for their eyes to come to life!

Enjoy!
Français :

Je m’appelle Dominic Bercier, lui/il, et je suis artiste ottavien en illustration, BD, texte et design dans le monde des comics, la bande dessinée et les graphic novels, ayant dessiné pour une diverse clientèle, dont Sony Pictures, DreamWorks Animation, Nelvana, Image, Dark Horse, Top Cow et plus encore, étant actif comme illustrateur depuis ma jeunesse.

Depuis 2010, Mirror Comics m’appartient comme symbole, maison d’édition du Roi-Fantôme, Treadwell : à la recherche d’un rêve, hommage à mon village d’enfance dans l’est ontarien, ma BD 24 heure de la Chasse-Galerie, et des collaborations avec Kristopher Waddell, J.F. Martel, et mon cher et sage mentor, Bernard A. Poulin, tous des œuvres dans la Collection PopTerra, une démarche artistique en vœu d’une culture nouvelle pour la terre.
​
Les toutes nouvelles couleurs, lettrages et traductions au français sont possibles grâce à la bourse d’Ottawa Bilingue, avec remerciement spécial envers l’ACFO d’Ottawa et le Gouvernement canadien. L’œuvre nous offre un ‘trip’ généreux, coloré et profondément aimé, une offrande de 500 pages par collection, soient une en anglais et l’autre en français, question de lecture dans sa langue préférée, mais… l’on peut toujours acheter toutes les deux et en faire une minutieuse comparaison!

D’autres histoires s’ajoutent au réseau du nouvel essort, Mirror Comics Studios, tels SIGNAL Saga, La Ballade de Jimmy et Rose, une BD 24 heures en anglais et en français, une histoire magique d’amour, et d’autres contributions plus courtes pour Lettres québécoises, La Revue PLANCHES, Lev Gleeson, fameux éditeur de Captain Canuck, et une œuvre plus personnelle et sombre dans l’Outsider de Jay Odjick.

Il sagit de noter que « Hope Book » serait le livre le plus important malgré son manque d’illustrations, une tentative d'orienter mes amis « spoonies » et d’autres humains que se voient faire face à de terribles circonstances, un état d’âme que j’ai su dompter sur plusieurs combats.

Mes troubles d’ordre mental furent une guerre de longue durée avec des batailles épique dans mon cerveau, et les leçons de ce passage soulignent et informent les histoires de mon crayon.

Mon profond souhait est d’accompagner mes héros dans leur désir de comprendre le monde et de défaire les emprises des menteurs qui s’emparent trop souvent du jeu. Samuel, Orion, Adam, Jimmy et Rose, Dusk, Ash, Tyana, Kiai, même les moins sages… leurs vies me sont importantes. Je souhaite davantage que vous les lirez pour entendre leurs sacrifices, et pour faire allumer leurs yeux jusqu’à l’impression de la vie.

Bonne lecture !!
