Well, it’s not the first time we’ve joked about Wetaskiwin.

Wednesday July 14, 2010   ·   Romper girl

Some people can pull off a romper, some can’t. I have a friend who is a cute sexy thang in her romper. On the other hand, just last week I saw a girl at the Skytrain station wearing a romper with leggings. I mean, you’ve got to be kidding. Leggings are bad enough, but with rompers?

Either have the cajones to wear a romper and rock it, or don’t. As I say, be bold; if you can’t be bold, be italics!

That said, it is not easy downing an entire slab of chocolate cake all before 10:30 in the morning.

I loved that the males were the ones with the biggest reaction.

Sunday May 23, 2010   ·   Tuesday With Everything In It comic

I may have neglected to mention this before, but if you’ve been to my main site, then you may already be aware of it — and if not, well, now’s my chance to tell you! My latest ongoing comic is Tuesday With Everything In It. It’s about a mercenary training facility masquerading as a boarding school, and still in its introducing-all-characters-to-you-readers stage, but I encourage you to check it out. Especially if you like humour, girls kicking tush, and moments of my-word-did-she-just-go-there.

One of the first things you might note, right off the bat, is that the strip is handlettered as compared to my other comics. I do not have the neatest writing by far, and for a long time relied on computer-lettering for my comics — plus doing it by computer eased wrist and shoulder pain. In case you didn’t know, too much handlettering can really hurt a cartoonist, which is why a lot of graphic novelists turn their writing into fonts, so that they don’t have to actually handletter 275+ pages of comics!

After some thought, I decided to handletter my Tuesday strips. I’m doing so with as much thought and putting as little tension on my arm as possible, so hopefully I can continue doing so for the foreseeable future!

Anyway, if you’ve liked my previous comics such as Hugo & Bana, I think Tuesday With Everything In It would be right up your alley. Your really dark, offbeat alley.

Thursday March 11, 2010   ·   Book design: Plans

I’d never designed a book cover before, but when Natalie asked if I could design the front and back for her latest book Plans, I thought, “Hey, why not?” So I gave it a shot.

It’s always the first few tries that are tricky, because you’re trying to imagine the most appealing look for it. Then, at the very last minute, it hits you and you do a complete overhaul, and a look comes out. Natalie was plenty pleased with it, so I’m happy!

The design was completed in January. I’ve just gotten my very own copy of Plans, and man, even I’m impressed!
