A spaghetti western webcomic about mice, rats, cats, rabbits, cheese, guns, and glory. A shameless homage to Firefly and Usagi Yojimbo by Stan Sakai.

Zine printing at today!!

This is a collection of visual art with a bit of writing on the topic of landscape painting, myth-making, and our collective responsibility to the earth as storytellers.

Right now, buying this zine is the cheapest way to get a package with so many pieces of art printed all in one -- and you're supporting deeper work exploring schizophrenia, landscapes, and storytelling.

DM me to pick one up, or sign up for the "Supporter Tier" on my Ko-Fi (linkinbi0) and I'll mail you a copy for $10 off.

The Supporters on my Ko-Fi get regular printed material, stickers, and more!

Thanks for watching :) stay ungovernable, silly geese!

"March Sun" Acrylic gouache on canvas. 10x8.
Available. Prints also available by request.

I was SO enjoying the yellow warmth of spring last week in Dartmouth. Even though it's colder this week, I feel heartened by the shifting of the season.

Information on how to order your house portrait!
Options, details, price guidelines, etc.

For the last few weeks, I've been studying light and shadow pretty extensively in my drawing process.

I've also been obsessed with this old Macpass building next to the former Mackay Bridge tolls. There's construction fencing surrounding it at the moment, and I'm worried it's gonna get torn down soon.

It's a beautiful and functional piece of brutalist architecture, and represents something fleeting that I love about architectural history. I didn't grow up in Dartmouth (or Halifax, for that matter) but I've been experiencing nostalgia for built environments that are retired from dutiful service.

says robots make her tearful. Their desire to be human, to be loved -- and their simultaneous oppression in the form of their programming and physical limitations makes her weep.

I think I feel similarly about some of these buildings. One day, they'll be gone, and some of us will remember them. But most probably won't. Time goes on.

Mornings with a cup of coffee, the iPad, and on my mind β€οΈβœ¨πŸŒ™

I'm so grateful for slow routine, and that I get to paint and draw every day.

With the popularity of people getting LLMs to "draw them" as something else, perhaps consider hiring an artist or doing it yourself! It might be more fun than you realize.

Made it to Realms and Roses yesterday for Valentine's Day with my sweet love, . It was an absolute joy to work on the design behind this iconic logo a few months ago, and I'm glad I made it to see the bookstore in person!

Sorry I missed you, Erica! We'll see you next time.

February T H A W ✨🐎

This new moon has been challenging me, but in the nicest way possible -- instead of inundating me with stuff I can't handle, it's been asking me to stop griping about situations I can control, and instead step up to the plate; setting boundaries I didn't know to set in months and years prior.

The faintest trace of a February thaw has always brought big emotions for me. Everything I've tried to hold in all winter comes crashing down around me, stories I've been telling myself in order to cope no longer helpful.

This year though, I feel blessed to have help. My wonderful parents , my incredible partner and her kid (who lights me up completely) and Willow, the cat.

I'm trying to accept the things I can't change (like wow...I have a disability. Crazy.), change the things I can (this round of revisions will be an extra charge) and make sure the people I love know that I love them.

I wouldn't be here without you.

Sending wind energy to our family's beloved Kiki, matriarch extraordinaire who left us on the winter solstice. I remember showing her a drawing at 13, and she was impressed. "You should do this for real! Go to art school!"

I hadn't considered it until then.

Ki ki! So so!
