Walter Scott is an interdisciplinary artist working in comics, drawing, video, performance, and sculpture. His graphic novel series Wendy chronicles the continuing misadventures of a young artist in a satirical imagining of the contemporary art world. Scott's eponymous party girl has previously been featured in three graphic novels Wendy; Wendy's Revenge and Wendy: Master of Art as well as in Canadian Art; Art in America; The New Yorker; The New York Times and MoMA Magazine. Scott has been nominated or longlisted for the Ignatz Awards, Canada Reads, the Believer Book Award, and the Doug Wright Award, and finally, the Sobey Art Award—considered to be the preeminent fine art award in Canada.

“I am blown away by Walter Scott's Wendy series.” —Zadie Smith“Scott manages a rare thing: the sharpness of his satire doesn’t preclude a realistic rendering of personhood, and the seeming flatness opens up, at every turn, to a depth of feeling…. His mastery of his characters’ faces and gestures is also wonderful, his line quick and sure and expressive.” —The New Yorker“I thought I regretted not going to art school until a friend introduced me to Walter Scott’s Wendy comic book series... Wendyskewers art school and young adulthood alike via the lens of [its] titular protagonist.” —New York Times“Like just about all of her contemporaries, so broke and uncertain and desperate to do the right thing, poor Wendy inhabits a particularly precarious world – and thanks to this, even when she’s at her most ridiculous, we’re inclined always to give her a pass.” —Rachel Cooke, The Guardian“As far as I’m concerned, there can never be too many books about Wendy. This is a character I want to follow for a long, long time.” —London Free Press“It’s hard not to yell out loud while reading Walter Scott’s agonizingly hilarious graphic novels... Even people only fuzzily familiar with the vagaries of contemporary art will recognize the humanity of Wendy, trying and failing, trying again.” —The Tyee“Scott uses his powerful female character to puncture holes in all kinds of sacred cows, raising questions about the absurdity of our modern lives, the shallowness of what society often tends to celebrate, and even the inadequacy of education when it comes to dealing with real-world anxieties. Taken together, these books give us valuable insights into what motivates and challenges a generation.” —Broken Frontier
