For some reason, these take about as long as the black and white ones! Going to try and do more. They’ll probably make more sense, get more relaxed as I go along. I’ve got a pile of stories. Just haven’t drawn (or painted) them, yet. This one come out of my head as I was […]

After missing a couple of nights, I finally made it to the monthly Montreal Comic Jam. Took pictures, but now I’m lazy, and put them into a slide show. You can actually click on photos as they pass by above to read info about who’s in them, etc. Enthused about watercolour, I brought my set […]

Was pretty down today, but doing this cheered me up. Just left blank bubbles and squares, then filled them in with whatever. Mainly according to songs I was listening to on the shuffle.

This is something what I’m going to look like when I’m ready to cash in my life insurance. I understand that when one turns 80, the amount you can take out goes down, for some reason I can’t fathom. That’s probably a different cat than present, unless Mr. Boggedy has some strange abilities I’m not […]

You don’t want me for your childrens’ face painter. There’s a community thing happening in a week or two at Parc Mederic Martin, a neglected little park a block or two east of here. It’s based on a sort of Parisian model of the park with the long centre walk, but left to seed. The […]

Just another watercolour thing to keep the blog rolling along. At least I did some useful work today! Gotta feed the cats.

This is the first drawing I’ve done with my Koi water brush. Explanation here, on my Tumblr blog. The tumblr is more for ramblings of mine that can’t be contained on twitter. This will be my more formal blog, and sketch blog. Trying to separate the two of them. I am large! I can contain […]

I’m way more comfortable drawing in a spidery scratchy way than I am making the slick lines that seem popular in animation and graphic art these days. Still, fun to try. Doing some construction is also helping me with the heads and bodies. Part of the trouble with being self-taught as an artist, is that […]

Worked hard today. Drew some silly things in the meantime. I’m sorry.

Discussing hats, and drawing them, on twitter. Dylan Meconis offered a tutorial on her blog on how to draw tricorn hats. I don’t have big problems with those. But I do with fedoras and cowboy hats. So another artist, Brian Moore, offered me this: Worst-case scenario: ZAPHOD BEEBLEBROX, THE SINGING COWBOY GANGSTER. So, of course […]

Weird painting, as usual. But I learned a lot from doing this!
