But not before I post some new junk, sort of comic related. First, a Daisy Mae: She sorts of fits into my trying to do “good girl” art, related to that burlesque project, which has kind of gone on hold for the moment. Then there’s this item I drew on a Twitter challenge. Unfortunately, I […]

One last zombie-related picture, painted on Hallowe’en night, appropriately enough. A tribute to Remy, the mohawked guy in the picture, whose gory stage makeups inspired me in this project in making regular people scary. It was quite an experience, exploring one’s morbid side. Also freedom in making pleasant faces look as disgusting as possible. A […]
Something special for this month’s comic jam. Pierre Landry from CBC Radio came and interviewed us about the comic jam. Maybe this is a result of the press attention we got in the Gazette a couple of weeks ago. Here are some snaps from the Jam, including the interview: And you can listen to the […]

When you’re wandering in dark places, always good to bring your fire-horse/dog/rhino pet. I suppose it’s an escaped Pokemon. This drawing below was on the back of the paper. I’m very cheap and don’t like wasting paper. Also, the question came up last night of where to store all these things. I don’t think they’re […]
Busy, and kind of worn out today, but I had time to paint this colonial guy.

Graveyards are pleasant places to sit and think. Look over the names, even paint watercolours. Wait … WHAT THE HELL IS THAT??!!! Here’s a watercolour painter and comic artist who’s been an influence on me, lately, explaining her technique, in a graveyard. [link]

But they’re vegetarian Zombies, I tell you. I had the brainstorm, a little too close to Hallowe’en of offering to zombify, vamp or monsterize people’s twitter icons for that frightening evening. So, I’m drawing tons of zombies. Want to set up a web page where I can sell these, and other art things, but haven’t […]
That’s my thing at the moment. This is a link to some of my research material. One of those brilliant ideas I hope works, though I wish I had it earlier. We’ll see how it goes. Tough doing creepy monstrous stuff when you’re mainly used to cute and quirky. But always good to expand one’s […]
Painted this guy in the book. Then cut out the pic and stretched the paper. So, it’s a little more easy to scan, etc.

Feeling more confident about my watercolour work. That means, along with doing stuff in my books, I’ll work on some stretched, better-quality paper, which will make things smoother, and easier to scan. I like painting in the books, and putting a lot of effort into preparing something makes me nervous, and leads to bad drawings. […]
One of my sketchbooks is almost full. So, I went through it, painted new pictures, and coloured old ones. That means a real grab-bag of images. Which are attractive? Which “work?” It’s interesting to figure out. The things I like the most are the ones that help tell a story. That means comic “strips,” (none […]

I can’t think of a title for this post. It’s just a lot of paintings, etc. I’ve been doing.

Construction outside of my place this afternoon made it tough to work. So, I sat outside, breathed asphalt fumes, and painted this. Don’t know if the crew would have appreciated it. This was the lone girl, working with a bunch of guys. I’ve further documented the building going on in front of my house on […]

… but first, a Moonbeam McSwine type. Most of the sketchbook drawings come about as a “hey, a dog would look nice over there,” or a lot of things on a page. Rarely any planning. Actually, I have to work on that. Setting myself a subject ahead of time, and accomplishing it.
