…such as inside my head. I got out of the apartment around noon, and walked to rue Saint Denis, to sit in a coffee shop and draw passers-by. Unfortunately, the weather, while great for kite-flying, soon got a little sprinkly. So, I only managed the above sketch of a woman, bundled up. This guy below […]

Though fitfully, I’m still doing drawings for Mlle. Oui Oui and the gang at Blue Light Burlesque. These are some more sketches, according to photos on flickr (I’m going to look these up and try to credit the photographers). Anyhow, I’m not making any money from them… Why has she got a surprised-looking guy half-transparent, […]
Had to make a correction on this post, cause I had misidentified the person I was drawing. While I’m at it, I should credit the photo I used to Tristan Brand. Hope that’s all good, now. I did this computer-coloured sketch from the cover of the weekly newspaper, HOUR. The show, The Duck Wife, is […]
I like this one. It’s fast and fashiony. Of course not all of these brushy things hit it off. Below, the usual fine-point roller pen:

Painted a ton of little pictures I’m pretty happy with. Above, is Mr. Boggedy on the balcony. Serious Guy. That’s also the view from my Balcony, but he’s just imaginary. More funny little pictures. The edges are masked with painter’s tape. The green type with slightly less tack, which can be “left on for 60 […]

Didn’t see many of my usual English language blogging buddies at the special Yulblog event last Tuesday. That might have been because it was a day earlier than the usual monthly get-together, and also in a special venue, L’Assoimoir on Notre Dame, just West of the Cathedral in Old Montreal. Might also have been because […]
The last Thursday in May means the Monthly Montreal Comic Jam. I actually worked on some pages of comics, but it’s more of a get-together for local artists, to share and show off, and also collaborate on things. I got my bud Rick Gagnon to colour this picture of mine above, which turned out swell. […]

I’m sorry, I’ve been a bit out of it, because of the unseasonal heat, and health complaints. Still sitting around, drawing, and twittering. Above is what I was drawing last Wednesday, at the monthly performance of Blue Light Burlesque. Mostly little bits and pieces. People moving, removing clothing (!) in the dark. Working on some […]
Went to the park at East Mont Royal Ave today. Mont Royal used to be a working class street, with taverns and fast food restaurants. Now, with the emergence of the Plateau as a trendy neighbourhood, it’s a place where people go to be seen. So, I thought I’d draw some of them. The dog […]

Today, a picture of Queen Suriyothai (a Thai cultural heroine) atop her elephant, or “Oliphaunt” in this case. And below, a taste of my mood lately, sometimes. Hoping to cheer up!

I just like the colour. Lotsa work to do, and I’ve been slacking off. The usual worries, but I hope things will be all right.

Hung out at the café yesterday, and drew a lot of stuff. Here’s some of it. That guy wasn’t grey before. He was sort of dark, but then I added blue. The magic of accident! Girl, with bixi bike in background.
