I installed Flash on this computer. I actually want to turn this into an image of her floating, and hope I can add the appropriate electric hum. Why? So I can learn some Flash! Thus far, all I can do is make a triangle jump abruptly from one side of the screen to the other. [...]

Henry Lehman
By Jack in obits, visual art, writingSad to hear about the death of Henry Lehman. You can read about it on the Fagstein blog here, along with some writing by him. There weren’t many art writers working in English in Montreal. So, during the few times I ran into him, at an art opening, or on the street, we could chat [...]

Comic Jamming, and State of Emergency
By Jack in collaboration, comics, Montreal, Montreal Comic Jam, photosOff to the Monthly Montreal Comic Jam the other night. But first there was a big event happening across the street. I took some video with my little camera: Got one of the volunteers in the information booth to explain what was going on. Nice siren in the background, which fits with the name of [...]

Arty Neighours
By Jack in Montreal, photos, visual artThere were a number of art-related events happening right under my nose here in Centre Sud Montreal. So I snapped a few pictures, dutiful type that I am. It’s a chance to see what one’s arty neighbours are doing. Just a few steps from my front door, I happened on the sign above. (As usual, [...]

Back to Business
By Jack in black and white, men, sketchesAfter all that interesting real stuff, back to sketches. I drew this after the computer hung up while putting up the message that it was “negotiating” a video link. You know that if it takes time for this to happen, it’s not going to happen. Still, the word gave me this impression of frantic appeals [...]

Expozine Sunday – More Strangeness
By Jack in comics, Expozine, Montreal, photosThis pic seems to encapsulate for me the oddness and fun of Expozine. I get totally overstimulated by the art and whackiness of it all. Anyhow, this year, exhausted by taking pictures of all the people and their stuff in previous years, I tried something different. My little camera took good videos, so I tried [...]

Didn’t do my usual thing of snapping and talking to a lot of the people there, but the place was packed with artists and writers. Did a little video you can see below of turning in a circle with my camera: Took some shots of comic artists I [...]

Business Guys
By Jack in colour, men, sketches, watercolourNot too much comment needed here. This was done on the back of another drawing. I’m in a bit of a lull at the moment, after recent traumatic stuff. So, taking the opportunity to relax at little. So, there will probably be more drawings, etc. Pictures of cats? Maybe so. You can only hope.
