==Career==
His published works include:

*''[[Northguard]]'', a post-modern Canadian [[superhero]], created in the 1980s with illustrator [[Gabriel Morrissette]]. Though Northguard was published as an independent comic book series and didn't achieve the notoriety of better-known Canadian superheroes like [[Richard Comely]]'s ''[[Captain Canuck]]'' or [[Marvel Comics]]' ''[[Alpha Flight]]'', it was well received by critics and a core following of fans. The Quebec superheroine [[Fleur de Lys (superhero)|Fleur-de-Lys]], a supporting character from the series, even made her way to a Canadian postage stamp in 1995.
*''Angloman'', co-created with [[Gabriel Morrissette]]. A humorous parody of politics in Shainblum's native province of Quebec, Angloman was first published in book form and then made the leap to two Montreal newspapers, the alternative newsweekly ''[[Montreal Mirror]]'' and the mass-circulation daily ''[[Montreal Gazette]]''.
