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 […]

I visited the vernissage for this show last night, which was a lot of fun, perfect for Hallowe’en. An artist friend on twitter suggested I check it out. So I did and wasn’t disappointed. Did a little bit of a reporter thing, with my electronic devices: my tiny Lumix Camera, and my cigarette-lighter shaped voice […]

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]

Had fun doing this, actually. It’s the reason for all the zombie pics. I had the brainstorm of offering to “monsterize” people’s online pictures for Hallowe’en. Had this notion of everyone turning creepy for that one night. So visit Jack’s Monsterization Parlour, and tell me what you think! Yay!

…And evil cats! Devil Dog… Here’s smiling business guy: Anyhow, I’m offering you, in internet land, to have your own portrait, facebook photo, or twitter avatar, turned into your favourite monster, for hallowe’en, or indeed any time of year. Building the page right now where this would be possible. In the meantime, visit this page […]
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 […]
Just to give you a breather amidst all the un-death, here’s a sketch of a Rhinemaiden from The Ring of the Nibelungen. There are three of them in the opera, Woglinde, Wellgunde, and Flosshilde. I guess this is Flosshilde. “Rhinegold” was also the name of an American beer it looks like they might be selling […]

Okay, I’m getting there. Excuse the weirdness! I’m noticing that the blank eyes seem to help in doing a zombie, but I don’t want to rely on that all the time. Also little flecks of blood. It’s raining cats and dogs outside, and seems to have done so all day, keeping me from errands I […]

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 […]
Which is which? He’s maybe a missing link, or Dr. Zaius’ cousin. Beauty and the Beast? Just a quick morning sketch.

Hey, my cartoons and those of some of my pals got mentioned in the Montreal Gazette today. [link] They even published a link to my site. That means I’ll have to update the Skinny Nameless Punk as well as put up some more stuff.

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.
