It was such, yesterday when I drew these, and it’s another such today. Happy to draw real animals, etc, from my balcony. Other people are TV and DVD-inspired faces. Not so bad, but I’m waiting for people to start walking by looking less frozen and bundled up.

I saw these kids the other night, in a dream. I think their Uncle is Orson Welles. Still working on figures. A pensive Orc, and Pug Dog: Hmmm. Maybe a pug dog-something else cross. The head is the wrong shape, muzzle too long and the ears should be lower down, for that true pug silliness.

These don’t need explaining, but I like to write a little. Above is Catwoman and a dog. Below, the creepy cowboy from Mulholland Drive. Next, some well-known author at a badly-attended book convention. I’ve sometimes dreamed about being able to fly to the ceiling at these things. Though I didn’t need Leo da Vinci wings. […]

Today I’m going to be cartooning at the Eaton Centre in Downtown Montreal, part of the events surrounding Car Free Day in that part of the city. Please visit, if you can make it! Meantime, I bought a new little sketchbook (only 4″x6″), and drew a bunch of things. Mainly animal-related.

I should be doing comics today, or fixing some directories on a blog. But my back brain wanted to do watercolours. At least I learned something with these. Not easy to explain, but it’s mainly about when I can use dark lines to outline something, and not. Like on the lady below, it’s better if […]

Have this flickr uploader gadget in the blog. Haven’t gotten it to work yet. This is my first real post on the new system on the blog. Pretty spiffy. Plus I feel proud of myself for following the 18 or so steps to upgrade, with backups and passwords and all. Anyhow (feeling wordy, a switch […]

I usually do this in the morning. Nothing interesting drawn. But tonight I’ve got Lou Reed lyrics put into the mouths of people drawn walking down the street. “What good a war without killing?” and “life’s like Sanskrit read to a pony.” You have to hear them in the proper Lou Reed deep voice, which […]

“Old Yeller?” I like drawing in the morning, and I like being spontaneous, but it has its disadvantages. Certain things make me go “darn!” but I wonder if anyone will notice them, or cares. Could be a dog with ears of different length. Or maybe he’s just a dog who looks like that, and it’s […]

What’s a little depressing is when you go a “Graphic Image Search” (GIS for those in the know) for “pigeon,” you get a larger than usual number of dead and messed up pigeons. It’s not the main thing I think of when watching pigeons out my front door, but there are a lot of them […]

Kind of like what a complete page in my sketchbook sometimes looks like, rather than a nice drawing excerpted and isolated to show you. Again, the usual paints on a thin, sketchbook paper. I’m a little bit torn up this morning, because a pro illustrator (more successful than I, at least) looked over my website […]
