Another Fantastic Adventure

This time due to some poor scheduling I ended up spending two days in Toronto and managed to catch 2 separate festivals. The first was the Toronto Busker Festival on Front and Queen. Glum Chum and I got there late but managed to catch two shows and enjoy a great bean dish from a street vendor. The last show we caught was a huge fire show, the MC Busker of which happened to live in the house we were staying in, yet we never would have known about it if we hadn’t overheard a hippie talking about it while we were in Kensington Market.

The second day was spent sleeping in, enjoying breakfast, buying some art supplies, drawing comics, and then dressing in pirate garb and taking the street car to Old Fort York for the Pirate Festival. We stayed late for the adults only show, which featured comics, magicians, singing, belly dancing and of course . . . drinking. We met some new friends, saw some old ones we’d lost contact with, and had a fantastic night! I took pictures to prove it!

Cottage II

My own Internet is down, so I'm posting this from Shabudabu's computer.

The cottage was FANTASTIC! We took tons of pics, all of which can be found in my new photo album. Turns out my old photo album requires that you purchase something from them every year in order to keep your free account. (How that's a free account I'm not exactly sure, but they make the rules).

There was also a pretty sweet poetry contest at the cottage in which I placed last due to the explicit content of my entry. I will post each entry in said contest at a later date, so keep your eyes peeled!

*Caution*

Just a word of warning, before you view these pictures. There is more nudity in them than can be reasonably justified. Carry on . . .

Solo Comics

I’ve been moving my stuff out of my apartment, and in the process of doing so I’ve come across these. I’ve included all of them because I wanted there to be a great bug post before I sign off for a while. I’ll be spending the next 4 days at a sweet cottage and following that, I’m not sure exactly what I’ll be doing.

Anyway, here are some comics I found while moving that I thought you might enjoy. They were all drawn by me, while bored at work. Enjoy . . .

I think this was the first comic that I drew at work (that I was able to find while moving). I was actually supposed to give this one to a girl who works at Subway, but for some reason I never did. It's not my favourite, but I think you'll enjoy it.
This is another comic I did around Christmas, which is kind of weird because Christmas is THE busiest time of year at Rogers. Oh well, take a look . . .
I must have been going through a comic drawing phase last winter, because here's another one set amidst the snow. Nobody I've showed this comic to so far has laughed, so if you do, please let me know.
This is Black Pepper Jack's favourite of my comics. He says he's not sure why, he just likes it. The original was given to a fellow mall employee, but before that I made a copy of it in our fax machine. Unfortunately the copy picked up the printing on the backside of the page, luckily I don't think it interferes too much with the art or the text, so read on.
This one I drew quite recently, and was supposed to be of a more political nature, but I never had enough time to finish it. Perhaps someone will finish it for me, and then post their conclusion on their own blog, with a link to it in my comments section. Just an idea!
I didn't even know this one wasn't finished until I started showing it to people. I've chosen not to add the rest of the text as I think the comic works the way it is. It's one of my favourites despite it's being unfinished.
And there you have it, my offline exploits from work at Rogers. I hope you liked them, and I hope each and everyone of my readers has a fantastic weekend/summer. I’ll make sure to respond to everyone when I’m back online.

Peace.

I'm da queen?!?

This past weekend (being the 25th anniversary of my birth) Shabudabu and I headed to Oro for some festivals and other various adventures. I would write all about it here, but It’s already been fantastically described here. So check it out and let her and I know what you think!
