Not 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.

Just a couple of watercolour sketches. Still decompressing from recent events. Trying to catch up on work, as well.

We had the funeral for my Dad today, at Christ Church, our old family church in Calgary. A very nice Anglican Service. Lots of hymns, and I felt about 13 years of age trying to sing with them. The key was never right, and I was either grumbling basso, or trying to do falsetto. Never […]
One of the things I do, since writing gives me such a loose schedule, and I’ve been involved in movies and such, is play an extra, or “background performer” in local shoots. It’s kind of fun, if you don’t take it seriously, and you get a bit of money, and sometimes hobnob with stars, or […]
During one of those later park walks. Still pretty broken up about this. That was very tough, but at least I was there. Anyhow, below is what I’ll read at the service in Calgary this Monday. They advised us to keep to the cheerful, positive stuff. Sadly, going to two services in September for friends […]

That’s just a (possibly misheard) song lyric from Wendy James, that I thought would make a neat title. Otherwise, these are new sketches, from my recent trip to Calgary to visit my Dad, who passed away. This and the other two below are from the Toronto Pearson Airport. Little horse, drawn on the plane: Server […]

I’m blaming terrible personal stuff, which I may or may not write about, for the lack of blogging. But I’m still drawing things. So, I thought I’d throw some more up here, and try to do that daily. These are all from my mini-sketchbook. It’s hardbound, and about 3×5 inches. I like it. Sometimes it’s […]

This is sort of an angry Peter Mansbridge. But I was really just practicing my shading and crosshatching chops on an old pencil sketch. Below, two old outer space farts, from the Dark Side of the Force: Last, my portrait of Cat Boy. At age 13, he’s sort of an old fart of the cat […]

Remember my note about the Laundromat on my street that closed? Well, the windows got whited out, and renovations have been going on. As I was going by on my bike a couple of weeks ago, I noticed a sign on the front door underneath the usual work permit: It reads: “Opening Soon: Restaurant – […]
Here’s my idea of what it would look like if Cirque du Soleil made it into outer space.

A guy in a chair. And one of those cats … it’s in there, too.

Feeling like I’m getting better at it. Actually, I just enjoy doing these. Meanwhile, I’m watching a cheap supermarket DVD of the silent film “Nosferatu.” The picture quality is terrible, but every frame is a perfect image.
