Good news: I drew a sketchbook piece of Power Girl that I was really happy with. Bad news: the cover was opened and resting on a crumb from an onion ring so now my sketchbook is grease stained.

The back of the page where it bled through looks almost as cool as the front!

I may never work for @dc.com but part of me will always want to. Here’s a maid of might from the sketchbook tonight. Up, up and away!

For me, How Chee! My buddy the great @craigsilliphant.bsky.social made a documentary about a beloved late night tv commercial that has lived on through VHS and the internet. I got to draw the poster, and it was super fun to work on. Everyone should go see this film!

So passes the greatest living actor (in my opinion). Robert Duvall was never anything but authentic in every role. So many of his great performances (Gus McRae in Lonesome Dove, Mac Sledge in Tender Mercies, The Apostle EF in The Apostle) were family favourites. May he rest in peace.

Everyone's college experience should include a Morrissey phase. Here's an ink sketchbook drawing from my art college days at Sheridan College in Oakville Ontario. "Where is the man you respect? And where is the woman you love?"

Our artist group was permitted to create pieces reflecting the Advent story. They are on display in Common Ground at Circle Drive Alliance Church through Christmas. Since it has stayed pretty quiet, I hope those at Circle will stop by and take in the work the artists put so much care into.

Shameless Saskatoon propaganda: the tv at the gym has been frozen on an image of the great @dansgoodside.bsky.social for the last hour.

I appreciated the great Norm MacDonald while he was alive, but surely not enough. There was and is no one like him. Here’s a drawing I did of him many years back. I gave it to him at one of his casino gigs.

Fellow 80s TV obsessive @kennethwreid.bsky.social is perhaps the one person who will most appreciate the effort I put into my homemade APK style Leland University tee.

Sad to hear about the passing of the great Terence Stamp. Certainly shaped my understanding of on-screen villainy, and had such a rich career even beyond the Donner Superman films I love so much. With all the great Superman actors I’ve gotten to meet, I’m bummed I’ll never meet him.

Surprise! I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be an exhibitor at @torontocomics.bsky.social next weekend—June 7 & 8—at the former Maple Leaf Gardens in downtown Toronto. This is a last-minute addition, and I couldn’t be more excited to join in. Hopefully I find the place…

Just met the amazing @lisaloeb.bsky.social thanks to my comic Waiting for Wednesday, inspired by her music. I’ve been a fan since the start, so meeting her and giving her some original art was surreal. That little book took me to France, and now to one of my fave artists. So grateful for it all.
