Another art auction piece. Up for grabs at the Bus Stop Theatre in Halifax until Feb 26th! Also, next Wednesday is Ladies’ Night at Strange Adventures! I will be there for sure.

Made a little piece for an art auction in support of two shows being put on by Vile Passeist Theatre this week. Both plays have lots of killing in them, hence the skull. You can read more about the shows here!

Dancey watercolours. I should draw some real dancers sometime, it would probably be pretty fun.

An amazing dance video that my sister sent me, of a group (Lalala Human Steps) coming to Halifax this weekend (sadly it is tech week for me so I can’t go). This is an older piece of theirs:

hourly comics day 2012

Hourly comics day was on Wednesday (but really you can do it any day). Basically on Feb 1st every year a whole bunch of people draw a comic for every hour they are awake. You can read more about it here or see a ton of the comics here.

Here are my comics from past years: 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011

Feb 1 has previously been a very busy day for me, but right now Wednesdays are basically my weekends, so it was a lot less busy kind of day….makes for less exciting things happening, perhaps, but I still had fun! You should check out this comic by my friend Yuen-ying, who made her first hourly comic this year! Ooh, and here is a great one by Heather Verdin! Also, Dan Bray and his trademark wit.

Also I have to mention that our DM, Jesse, is super fabulous and I paraphrased him horribly in that last comic. It’s totally our fault; we split the party. Sometimes these things just happen.

The other day I found some ink that I bought at some point and had never used. I decided it was time.

I started with a lady based on my memories of a lovely hat that Lauren wore to the opening of the Pre-Shrunk show at Argyle Fine Art on Friday:

Then I drew some ladies based on pictures in a quilting magazine.

And here is a completely unrelated thing:

And a comic, in which I accidentally made the ferry security guy seem a lot creepier than he actually was:

old whiny comics

So last year I had a bad day and made a comic about it, because I felt that it was also basically a ridiculous day and kind of funny in retrospect. Then I thought it was horribly selfish and navel-gaze-y to make a comic about a “bad day” when so many terrible things were happening in the world. I hadn’t heard of the “first world problems” thing then, but that’s what it essentially was.

Anyway, a year later I feel less connected to it and can post it as a silly little comic without feeling horribly guilty for having taken the time to make it! Plus, Hourly Comics Day (Feb 1) is coming up soon, and this is sort of in that style. So it’s a reminder! Draw your day on Feb 1!

And thus, here you go:

Yesterday was a fine day that turned into a raging blizzard, so I drew some ladies.

Rejected house attempts. Watercolours + crayons = love.

hello crayons

I’ve broken out the crayons again, after getting some from Santa last month (by request). Dear Crayola, I love you.

These ones are doodles done during an intense game of Risk:

And then I drew a little William Gibson from a 1995 National Geographic article about computers and cyberspace.
