About False Knees
Joshua Barkman is the Eisner-nominated artist behind the webcomic False Knees. A traditional artist, Joshua uses watercolours and India ink to paint detailed illustrations of native Canadian wildlife and pairs them with witty dialogue, absurd or existential humour, and a good dose of comedic timing. He’s also the author of four short graphic novels: Hop!, Spores, Woven, et Life After Life.
