Don't know if mine is a first print, but it does have Mr. Miller's signature on it!

Isn't it weird what we have no record of pre-smart phone cam? We're all Sherlock sleuthing our personal histories pre-2010. But I love that you were a freestyle skier, and I'm not surprised. Sorry boys are mean.

I am cleaning up photos on my phone from 2020. So there is a lot of this.

#sketchoftheday: More quick studies in the mini-sketchbook, drawn at coffee shops & bus stops. Full disclosure: I had to make up the baby carriage. They were moving too quick. #sketchbook #streetstudy

Congratulations to Fantagraphics. There were about 4 years there, I'd place it @'87 to '91, where they played a key, key part in putting me on my path. I mean, it's not their fault.

As always, I'm amazed by the attention these characters still get in this, the horrific year 2026.

Un-shrinkwapped the oversized 10th anniversary Rick & Morty omnibus set that Oni Press was kind enough to send my way so I could see how my little samurai piece worked out in the wraparound and what was contained within (5 oversized hardcovers in slipcases). An amazing packaging job. Thanks, Oni!

I so wanted it, but I didn't know what it was and they couldn't unshrink wrap it, and at a hundred bones-plus I wasn't up for the risk. Don't think I've ever seen that version of Teto before.

#sketchoftheday: I added another drawing to my non-mini sketchbook. This time a figure study, because I have not been to life drawing in a thousand moons. My reference came from the page of the very talented and stylish Sarah Heath, with respect. Amazing dance pieces. Watercolour & brush pen.

I wish more people in Vancouver paid attention to municipal politics. We have some pretty shady folks in charge right now in the ABC party

I'm going through the same thing right now on a digital piece. I'm much quicker with some watercolours and a sketchbook. At least the results are there when you get to the finish line!

Comic artist & writer Troy Little was back in town today due to a stopover so I brought my little sketch book along to an impromptu meet-up. I really appreciated getting a chance to compare notes with Troy outside the bustle of a con, and it was great seeing Doug Savage again, too. Good afternoon!

Looks phenomenal. Hope you'll do more!

The Beasts of Burden Omnibus with cover art by series co-creator Jill Thompson. The cover shows five dogs and two cats reacting to a skeleton laying in a bloody ritual circle in a front yard. The series is about household pets and strays that defend their neighborhood from an occult plague that sees ghosts, witches and monsters threatening their hometown of Burden Hill.

The BEASTS OF BURDEN OMNIBUS was published last Feb and is still available to be adopted by comics readers, pet owners and horror fans. "Dogs and cats defend their neighborhood from the occult" might sound like a silly kid's comic. It's not. Winner of 8 EisnerAwards. Ck it out.

Krazy Kat if we're excluding Cal & Hobbes. Nods to Gasoline Alley and Polly & Her Pals for the Sunday stuff.

Growing up, it was actually Broom Hilda. I have no idea how badly that one dates.

Yeah, we just don't rank as high in the public mindset, so they default to those terms they heard in that news spot on the Lion King production or what have you.

My phone gallery now has a cute "memory" feature, and this one popped up today. I felt like sharing it once more. My tribute to Moebius' cover for the 1st issue of Metal Hurlant drawn a decade back for fun. I am dumb.

I forgot how sweet it is to stroll the aisles of cons and properly take in what artists are offering, instead of rushing to grab that one thing you can’t get anywhere else a minute before close when you table.
Got to talk to Troy Little at Fan Expo & grab his bee-yootifil book Butterfly House!
