Career

In 2005, she redrew it for print publication.[1] The Ontario Arts Council awarded Mayhew a Northern Arts grant to finance Secrets of Sorcerers Vol. 2.[2] [3] The work also received an award from the International Manga and Anime Festival, a discontinued convention once held at County Hall in the UK, London by the now defunct County Hall Animation Studio.[4]

In 2006, Mayhew illustrated the children's book The First Emperor by Vicki Low, about Prince Fu Su son of Emperor Zheng,[5] and self-published the short webcomic Love Pet.[6]

In 2008 Mayhew began work on the Legend of the Ztarr, which she self-published in serial form in 2011[7] [8] with the aid of a grant from the Ontario Arts Council.[9] In 2013, Mayhew launched a crowdfunding campaign to extend the series,[10] but as of 2022, the project was not completed and the crowdfund was not fulfilled.[11]

In 2016 Mayhew illustrated the sketch and reference guide IDRAW MANGA.[12]
