Career
Secrets of Sorcerers, Mayhew's first published work, was a webcomic. 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][5]
In 2006, Mayhew illustrated the children's book The First Emperor by Vicki Low, about Prince Fu Su son of Emperor Zheng,[6] and self published the short webcomic Love Pet.[7]
In 2008 Mayhew began work on the Legend of the Ztarr, which was published in chapter format in 2011[8][9] with the aid of a grant from the Ontario Arts Council.[10] In 2013, Mayhew launched a crowdfunding campaign to extend the series,[11] with a projected publication date in July 2016.[12]

In 2009, Mayhew was featured in the TEDFellows 2009 Nokia Responsiveness campaign, in which she described her work as the promotion of critical thinking through storytelling.[15][16]
