I used to record my band gigs on my iPad just to hear what was working and what wasn’t.
I’ve got around 80 gigs.
I’ve been listening to a few for the first time since covid shut us down.
We had our moments!

So, I won't be at Ottawa ComicCon this year.
Not sure if I got my application in late, or I'm just not much of a draw, but I got turned down for an Artist Alley table (I'm on the shortlist/waitlist, but told there's no chance at this point in time).
Sigh...

A large majority of Canadians agree that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians — except Conservatives.
“Comments from Israeli officials ‘provide ample evidence of genocidal intent’ — that the annihilation of Gaza is the purpose of persistent operations in the region.”

It’s days like today that I wish Ottawa had a comic book focused show.
An Ottawa Comic Art Festival if you will.
Anyone gonna get around to that?
I don’t think I have the social and organizational skills to do it myself, but $&@?, somebody has to do it.

Just got turned down for Ottawa Comicon Artist Alley.
Sigh…
I get that I’m not a “name” or much of a draw, but it sucks that I can’t count on getting in to my home town show every year.

Trying to get back into the drawing thing after my injury.
Working on an old unfinished Wahoo Morris short story for fun.
I'm not sure if it's just that it's been awhile, or just my thing, but I really struggle to do "finished" pencils. I always want to dive into the inks before I've finished.

I’m recovering from a flare up of a chronic neck injury.
The doctor calls it degenerative disc disease.
Bad posture and 35 years of hunching over a drawing board has left me with worn vertebrae and a few bulging discs in my neck resulting in a pinched nerve.
Sounds scarier than it is...

One cat fights like hell if you try to pick her up.

I got this sketchbook in December of 2019.
Since, I’ve dragged it to Thailand, Egypt, Jordan, and multiple canoe trips in Algonquin park, as well as tucked in a bag or satchel any time I’m going somewhere and there might be time to draw.
I finally drew in it. Today. For the first time! 🤣🤣😂😭😭😝

Doodling on the deck.
I can’t remember the last time I drew on paper.
Trying to come up with a simple avatar for some autobio ideas. Not sure it’s working… so I flipped the page and some old friends showed up. Someday a new Wahoo Morris story will force its way out if I live long enough. 🤣
