The Team

Jillian Dolan

Jillian Dolan is an illustrator in calgary. She was born a tiny goblin in the heart of Medicine Hat.  She is now a larger goblin.

She is the primary artist at Nihilist Dinosaur Comics. She has chewed on more pens than can reasonably be counted and lost more erasers than seems realistically feasible. She has ingested enough permanent black ink to have developed an immunity. 

She attended some schools, none of which will openly claim her. She is appreciative of the patience and tolerance of the wonderful teachers at Alberta University of the Arts, where she is a part of the Aahwaatkamooksi mentorship program as an Indigenous student. She has completed many puzzles and Bioware games. 

She is a respected member of the Panel One Comic Creators collective and a reasonably contributive member of Sketch Sessions, an online/offline group of folks looking to flex their creative muscles and build their art skills.
