I spent time this weekend doodling passers by on Montreal's the Plateau neighborhood. I honestly never noticed how important an accessory a handbag is to a lady. Every single one had them, and they were all different.

sometimes i think i have bad luck !

2010-07-22T14:13:00.001-07:00

... and then I say, nah, that cant be.

So I got a call out of the blue they need these drawings of twins for the big twin parade. I thought it would be a swell assignment. I do a test no problem. Then I get the go ahead to do two more. Then they said " Hey, where is the third drawing ? " and I said " Third drawing ? " and they say " Oh, shoot, here it is, we need it tomorrow " or something so I did that too and then I get this email.

" The 3 drawings which you made did not pass the artistic direction, your portraits do not have eyes, they are rounds, and the artistic director does not want that.

Sorry. "

Look at the drawings. Do they have eyes ? Or rounds ? I really thought I was drawing eyes.

Sometimes I think I have bad luck. But like the song says better to have bad luck than no luck t all, right ?

2009-04-27T08:48:00.000-07:00

that is the question.

2009-04-24T10:46:00.002-07:00

So ...

i work a job with this fellow. i quite like him in some ways, although the feeling isn't mutual. also he'll never be mistaken for the brightest lamp on the christmas tree, if you know what i mean.

so one time we all were wondering what his idea of a courtship ritual might be, and the idea came up that it might involve throwing a squirrel at a young lady and yelling "we're married now !"

and out of that came a series of drawings of women with squirrels over their privates, some of which i posted below ...

Dany

Marco

Dany

Marco
TO be more accurate it should be dad saying bastard a lot
and me handing him tools or fetching buckets

Dany
yes, and yelling in a small confined space.

Dany
oh, and telling you to go do things so he can do all the work by himself.

Marco
yea, it's been a little frustrating

Dany

you know, like in that prince video ...

Marco
I'm not sure I remember any Prince videos

Dany
s'not important. i just remeber him in a clawfoot tub, with doves flying around ...
what was the song ...
something doves something.

Marco
when doves cry?

Dany
look at the doves ?

Marco
when doves cry

Dany

Marco
I actually have that album somewhere

Dany
look at my dove please, its sexy and little, like me ...
when doves cry. thats it. surprised you dont remember.

im just kidding dude. you were right all along.

Marco
I remember the song, not the video
I gotta go, finishing supper for dad....and he needs a tool or something...

im colorblind, so doing color pages makes me crazy nervous. what i do and did in this case is grab an image i like - in this case i think i colored teh whole sequence off of a screengrab from the super awesome short film called boys night out - see it at cartoon brew - and then i used just shades of those two colors.

we go to the printer this week. after its published i think ill show more artwork from this comic. it was a blast doing it and i hope it looks good on paper !

im still figuring out the characters a bit. and the format. after i did much of the drawing i realized that comics have a very specific format /layout - 6.625 x 10.25. quite a bit narrower than i had considered it before. ive held so many comics in my life but i never really thought about it.
