Spring/Summer 2011.

STILL WORKING.

Late night working.

NEW:

Studio portrait, 2011.
Another winter beard. Acrylic, ink + graphite on gessoed paper. Don't have Photoshop right now so the presentation's a bit sloppy.

Did a little etching.

Drew on some glasses.

Built and painted some signs for the day job situation.

ZINES:
A few years ago, worked on a set of drawings for a Renaissance jokes zine. Probably going to be redrawn.

Nobody gets it right all the time haha.

A doctor visiting a plague patient. Went to a science centre when I was a kid and saw one of these things. Terror ensued.

Working between projects on another zine.

EARLIER2:
Went through some more of the old books I had laying about and found some
BEANO comics.

The strips are mostly about making jokes on fat people, being hungry, beating up sissies, and vaguely racialist material. 1988!

More of the same. Here, the serial characters are drawn as bears. Used to spend a lot of time looking at this one as a kid.

In high school literature class we had to bring in our favourite books we read when we were kids, and read them to the rest of the class. People were all about the Berenstain Bears and some Clifford the Dog; I read this. The class became pretty opinionated haha. Also, that's the end of the strip... seems pretty abrupt.

AUDIO CHIT-CHAT:
Luc Tuymans on Bad at Sports.

Chuck Close for National Gallery.

Discussion of Canaletto for National Gallery.
