I created my personal story about Luna the killer whale (solitary orca who lived in Nootka Sound) in the format of cards. This talks about a series of dreams I had that coincided with Luna and how I found some of it to intercept mythology. The original story is over 200 pages including raw journal entries but I recently decided to shorten it and produce a more interactive version such as this. This has been in the works since I first met Luna back in 2003. For this format, I used Canva to produce and design my content and then printed the cards at Moo. The results are beautiful. This story isn’t published however I feel it’s still important to do as a form of therapy, as I find it helps to resolve trauma. I chose cards because I personally absorb information differently and prefer smaller chunks so I cut the slack and got right to the point. This is my first step in sharing my own unique perspective of Luna, and in a way is a form of exposure therapy as it has caused me a lot of anxiety. If you are interested in producing your own story cards and would like some creative guidance then please contact me, I would love to hear about your project. All the artwork and writing is my own except where I reference out to external literary sources.
