4 panel comic

P1: a right hand draws a wavy stroke on a sketchbook page. A caption box up top reads "draw"

P2: the word "CREATE" dominates a panel with a black background, forming in the negative space. Various small shapes surround it.

P3: a lone simplified humanoid figure is on the bottom right of a another panel with a black background. A thought bubble forms above their head, the words "if not for others, then at least for yourself" within.

P4: The Earth dominates the bottom of the panel, with a sliver of space above it. Clouds swirl and boil across the Earth, which is the only element on the entire page coloured a pink-red. A caption box above reads "now, more than ever"

Trying to figure out how to make a “Top Ten Horror Movies“ list, if there are some that were so disturbing you’d never want to see them again, and some you genuinely liked? Same list? 😆

I’m playing catch-up with the ones I painted last year. Just doing little 5x7’s, so there hasn’t been a “group shot”. I painted Sweetums as a Ghostbuster last year. Hadn’t really considered doing a Stay Puft!

Pepé as a #Ghostbuster. Who’s next? Janice as Janine?

A watercolour of Pepé the Prawn, dressed as a Ghostbuster. His mouth is open, he appears startled and is looking up while blasting an unseen ghost up above.

TOMORROW, WEDNESDAY! 📚 🚀

Join us in celebrating the launch of Veronica Post‘s THIRD title with Conundrum Press, LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL, a graphic novel exploring travel through the lens of disability and inclusion.

Image is a black and white poster with a cartoon illustration of a man in a self-propelling wheelchair wearing glasses and a vest. The man is ahead of the viewer, and is looking behind toward the viewer while giving a thumbs up and smiling. The text on the poster reads "Book Launch, Let the Good Times Roll. October 8, 6:15 to 8:15pm, Halifax Central Library, Lindsay Children's Room. A graphic novel exploring travel through the lens of disability and inclusion."

Image is a black and white poster with only text that reads "Featuring: Artist presentation and Q & A with Veronica Post. Panel discussion: Travelling with a disability. With Guests: Linda Campbell (Deaf representative), Lui Greco (Blind representative), Gerry Post (Limited mobility), Brea Hindy (Disability travel Agent and companion), Maddi Adams (neurodivergent representative), Moderated by Scott Stoneman. Book Signing with Veronica Post.

Image is graphic with an illustrated book cover to the left, and a colour portrait photo to the right, side-by-side. The illustrated book cover is for the autobiographical graphic memoir from Veronica Post, Let The Good Times Roll. The black and white illustrated cover depicts two people moving together. The person on the left is a white man in a wheelchair wearing glasses and a vest. The person to the right is a white woman wearing a baseball hat and glasses, carrying a tote bag. Both people are looking fondly at one another as they move forward. The photograph to the right of the book cover depicts a white woman with short brown hair who is looking at the viewer with a slight smile.

Well, there you go! That’ll be a fun surprise!

My husband has it on blu-ray. We met when he was in film school and let’s just say he could open his own rental store if he felt inclined 😆

Ha! My husband was like, “well,now you have to paint a Killbot!” 😆
(I’ll have to tell him that it was the same mall from those other flicks!)

jodyvanb @jodyvanb.bsky.social · 1d

It really is! Made me nostalgic for my old mall. 😆

jodyvanb @jodyvanb.bsky.social · 1d

I just watched “Chopping Mall” for the first time. Not what I expected. Certainly thought there was going to be an axe in there, or, you know, some ”chopping” happening. Did follow the old horror movie rules of sex=death, though!

Hide the existence of your identical twin for decades so you can do a stage magic act in which it seems like you teleported.

Those who are 35+, what advice do you have for people just entering their 30s?
