COVID-19 Stay Home and Draw Week 3
Hi! Last week was my first "dark week" of COVID-19 isolation. But times of sad and frustration were also countered with joy and gratitude from a lot of check-ins with friends on Google Hangouts, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams.

Our favourite was Prince Street. They had a ton of photos of celebrities on the wall who have visited in the past. The gallery was a lot ...

Trout-Mere
I am loving Lynda Barry's new book 'Making Comics'. This is a result of one of her brilliant exercises from that book. She says that you need to just let your hands and your mind wander and something personal will come out. So out came this Trout-Mere but living in a pacific ocean environment (notice the kelp and purple ...
