I am a tall human being...very tall and also clumsy. I smash a lot of stuff. Also, I am an American transplanted in the great white north of Toronto, Canada. It's cold 90% of the time and when it's not it's like taking a stroll on the surface of the sun. But I have made a lovely home here and love the great city of Toronto and country of Canada (they make me say things like that as part of the American to Canadian conversion process). I graduated from Sequential Arts and Illustration program at a downtown Toronto art school in 2010 and discovered I really love to ink comic pages, paint in gouache (a fancy word for watercolor) and also draw cute cartoon characters in disturbing situations. Check me out and let me know what you think.

I decided that since next week is Gun Control Week (or so I have been informed), I would do a sketch of what I thought of when I heard “gun control”. Silly guns, so poorly trained!
So I was watching Superman III this weekend, not because I wanted to, but because once I start watching a movie (bad or good) I can’t stop watching…unless it has Seth Rogen or John Travolta in it. So whatever station they were playing the movie on, had the same commercial, for Rosetta Stone Language Software, on every commercial break. There was one girl giving testimonials and she just keeps using stupid words in in appropriate places, clearly to sound smarter…which drove me slightly insane for the length of the movie. Oh the things that get me riled up sometimes.
I decided everyone needed a little more Flashdance for their long Easter weekend. I credit the idea for this to my friend and ComicCon buddy, Anthony Haley. I don’t recall how we got on the subject of Flashdance, but I am sure it had to do with someone at the last con.
I’m a maniac, maniac on the floor…and I’m dancing like I’ve never danced before!
Astro Boy. A little rusty and need to get back in the swing of things with my daily sketches.

Just a little Dr. Who sketch before the season premier this weekend. I give you the Doctor fighting his true mortal enemy the Dogleks…house pets of the Daleks.
Note to office workers, don’t upset your receptionists…we have strange and mysterious powers!!! You’ve been warned.
The current Febreze commercials irritate me a bit for two reasons:
1. How dare you put people in filth just to sell your product. Gross!
2. I don’t believe for one second that Frebreze can eliminate rotting smells, garbage, etc, to the point people think they are smelling a summer breeze. It barely smells good itself.
With that said, I believe the only logical course these ads will take is that people are going to locked up with rotting corpses and Febreze pumped inside.
For Friday I decided to give everyone a little adventure scene. This is my asstronaut getting up close and personal with a full moon. Booyah!
My boyfriend Ted Morris and I own a 3-legged dog and when we take her for a walk, it is accompanied by lots of stares, ooh & aahs and chatting to some interesting people. Unfortunately, it is also accompanied, sometimes, by having to talk to stupid people. This is a conversation Ted (who is a veterinarian) had with a Russian fellow on the street one day. Ted doesn’t tolerate ignorance for very long as you can see. God I love that man!
