I will be at CanZine this coming Sunday November the 1st! Come by and say hi!

I’ll be selling some copies of the 24 Hour Comic, possibly some leftover prints and bookmarks and things from Fan Expo, old valentines, and a Very Special Zine project about a topic very close to my heart. WHAT COULD IT BE?

It's about terrible-amazing movies and these are some roughs.

Okay, so maybe I can’t keep a secret.

Also, I made this thing, and I don’t know why.

So, uh, that whole weekly challenge went down in flames, didn’t it? Since then, it’s just been happy children and animals for Junior Jetsetters all day, every day – and it still is, more or less, but now I’m back to school! A couple of small things…

Painted this with my (AWESOME) new portable watercolour set at a friends’ cottage. (I had a portable watercolour set before, but this one is far superior. It has a mixing tray! Sponges! Eeee.) One of my friends’ young cousins dubbed this the Queen of Roses, and it’s as good a title than any, I suppose. Mostly, it embodies the need to draw something uncute. Like seriously. I am going to break out in unicorns any day now. It may be contagious.

And this is even less meaningful. Doodled today between classes, with pencil, ballpoint pen, and a bit of black watercolour. Some colour slapped on in Photoshop to see how it would look, and I approve. It’s nice, I think. I mean, for a doodle.

Since I can’t show any of my Jetsetters work until the books are published, and time for personal work is still rare, hopefully I’ll have some schoolwork to slap up here soon enough. Time shall tell.

So I figured it was high time I, uh, got myself a blog again. I haven’t had an art blog in years, and I never kept up with the one I had before, so here’s to new habits.

To start, here’s a couple things I’ve done for school lately – a coffee sleeve based on the theme of “Red Eye” (as in red eye flight) and an interpretation of the word “perfectionist”.

And for kicks, an old 10-minute doodle that I liked for some reason.
