I hate buying new clothes, especially pants. Go to hell, skinny jeans.

I had a great weekend at the art exhibit and I think it was worth the time and effort. I sold a few things, gave away lots of postcards, and met a couple of interesting artists that I hope to make further contact with. I got a lot of great feedback as well, which is super encouraging. Lots of comments on the redness of my tent, but I’ll know better for next time, okay? Thanks to everybody for stopping by. And special special special thanks to Scott and his dad for helping me out so much.
I still have some work left over of course and I’ll be putting them up for sale on Etsy in the next week or so.
Here is a somewhat virtual tour of my booth:
Hey guys, so I’ll be at the Toronto Outdoor Art Exhibition next weekend already!
Here is the map so you can find me if you want to visit! I’m at #517, north of the Peace Garden, in the red circle. I also ordered a red tent, so that might help. Please note there won’t be an actual red circle there in real life.
I’ll have a lot of little paintings like this ^ for sale.
I’m really looking forward to checking out all the booths and meeting some other artists.
Yeah! My back was not too happy with me hunched over and drawing so I asked Mr. Keating to rig me up a drawing board and voila!
It even has three adjustable angles. Super nice. And now I’m working on some small paintings for the TO Outdoor Art Exhibition next month. I’ll post details about my booth location later in case you’re able to visit me.
Hey! I made this fabulous coaster set for the upcoming fundraiser at A1C Gallery – Going Postal. It’s up from June 11th to the 25th, with a silent auction at the reception on the 25th. These guys have a healthy coating of Mod Podge so they should be good and ready for all your sweaty drinks this summer.
Also. My opening was last Saturday and here are a couple of installation pictures. I had a lot of super visitors and it was so so so nice to see everybody. The show will be up until June 20th. Thanks again Bonnie and Mandy for all your work.
Hey guys, my show opens tomorrow, May 29th, at The Leyton Gallery in St. John’s. Drop down for a visit between 3-5 if you’re in town. It will be up until June 20th.
There’s a mini review here at The Telegram.
And here are a couple of pictures!
This past weekend was TCAF and it was super. I went to a bunch of panel discussions and bought too many books. It was just as great as 2009, but more organized and comfortable, with extra space upstairs and some panels taking place at a pub nearby. I volunteered for one shift on Saturday morning, as well. I hope they go ahead again next year.
This is my last week to finish up work for my upcoming show, so there probably won’t be a new comic until Friday. Here are a couple of pics instead.

Still working on some paintings. My studio is actually the tiny “den” by the front door of our apartment. But I make do!
Fortunately, it is opposite a large mirrored closet, so it appears twice as big!
Also, they say it helps to look at your work in reverse. I should probably start trying that.
Well, we went to see the big special Tut exhibition yesterday, since it’s only at the AGO for another couple of weeks. It was a bit of a let down.
For starters, here’s the ad they’re using:
Pretty exciting, right? On top of that, it’s called:
“Oh boy!” you might be thinking. “I can’t wait to feast my eyes on that big, shiny sarcophagus! And maybe even a rotting mummy or two!”
That’s what I was thinking, anyway.
But instead, there are a bunch of neat statues, and then a bunch of the junk they found in Tut’s tomb. Some fans, some gold shoes, a bit of jewelry. A cruddy bed. Some jugs.
The whole thing reminded me of Minnie’s house in Disney World. You get to see her bed, her fridge, a shopping list, some odds and ends scattered about. But at least she shows up a couple times a day to pose for a picture.
I’m working on some paintings for an upcoming show at The Leyton Gallery in a couple of months. I seem to be on a wildlife kick so far.
