I did it! I applied for federal, provincial and municipal art grants AND a university job in one season! Might not get any of it, but then again, I might! May the odds be ever in my favor.

Had a fun idea right at bedtime, got my 12 year old to film me. The sepia toned ink is Dusty Rose hand-made by Jillian Fleck and it really hit the spot, I've been staring at this antique sheet music page for weeks.

I think it's an #IndianLaurel ? That's what the AI says anyways. I say it's buzzy with bees, pink and lovely to sit near in the hot desert sun (though I gave myself a heck of a heat rash, beauty is pain???)

You can see me in the day You can see me in the night. I will be close to home Or I will have to take a flight. In person, comics you can get Or buy them on the internet. If you get books in a set You'll earn a special prize, my pet.

I'm in the virtual #TCAF this year! I can't wait to fill up a cart full of comics! tcaf-digital-marketplace.myshopify.com

The view from here is sweet as usual! #CFE #CalgaryExpo

Here's the veiw from my table last year at #CalgaryExpo in my signature style where I combine it with the next thing I drew, my cherry tree in bloom 🍒

Do you miss the #ExpoArtbook that #CalgaryExpo used to do? Think about replacing it with #AlbertaComicsHOME - 47 short comics stories by 63 different contributors, all with a personal connection to the Alberta community. You can collect signatures from all the tabling exhibitors!

Thanks to all the organizers, exhibitors and everyone who came out and faced the crowds for an amazing #CalgaryExpo2023 ! I had fun time tabling yesterday with this goofy grim reaper for the very first time!

Hi #SAIT #AuARTS and #Jubilee ! I can see how between three institutions the shared parking lots might seem like "not your problem" but the machines in the lower lot are barely working. It puts a damper on a fun event when you get trapped in the lot for an hour afterwards.

Happy Mother's Day to Candace Allan & all the other lovely mums! I'm lucky to have the support of this passionate, creative soul! If anyone out there needs a gift we both have great books for you! Check out my mom's blog too! textmelovemom.ca

I'm tabling at #vancaf for the FIRST time! I'll be at B10-2 and I would love love love to see some familiar faces AND meet a gazillion new people too!!

I faced the smoke to do my first #pleinair #oilpainting - the air wasn't as "plain" as I'd have liked 😙 but I had this in mind for months and couldn't miss my chance with my backyard tree 🌸💮🍃

I keep exceeding my anthology expectations I might sell out of #AlbertaComicsHOME on my first day at #VanCaf !

I like spending time with the blooms that only come once a year, with the smell of them, the sound of bees, hot hard cement and curled back urging me to hurry, hurry. Here they are, soon they'll be gone. Like you and me. But here they are! Now, now, now.
