June

But...it looks the same as the other one! Nooooooo!!!! D: D: D: (Except this time I drew the filthy, filthy sloughs)

Now in two amazing colours!

Ta-daaa~~~

Only eleven more to go! :X

(Edit: Now with a less gray sky)

Midnight Millionaires Club

A submission for a zine called "The Midnight Millionaires Club" that someone on my course is putting together. I tried putting fake screentone on this in Photoshop but I don't really like it all that much...it probably would've been okay if I'd stuck to just one shade of gray. :p (Edit: New improved version! still a bit "meh" though)

You've probably heard of the pop/novelty group The Barenaked Ladies - I'm told "One Week" was their only hit in the UK. In Canada, their first big hit was "If I Had a Million Dollars," a love song where a guy sings about all the wonderful things he'd buy for his lady love if he had a million dollars. Anyway, it contains the line "I'd buy you a monkey...haven't you always wanted a monkey?"

The banter about Kraft Dinner in the middle is the most popular bit, but my favourite line was always "I'd buy you a green dress - but not a real green dress, that's cruel."

Of course, I'm taking this out of context - it comes after an earlier reference to a fur coat - as in - not a real fur coat, that's cruel. XD

Speaking of cruel, that monkey looks very pissed off and very stiff...maybe it's stuffed :(

Archeopteryx

I declare that if there is not yet a musical group called "Archeopteryx" or "The Archeopteryxes," there should be.

Seed Catalogue Calendar page 1 - May

AAAAAND page 1. If this is a calendar, why am I starting with May? Because that's when winter finally ends in Saskatchewan...The Land Of Living Skies. No, really - that's our tourist tagline. See?
This is apt, of course, since the vast bald prairie stretches on and on and on and...that's why this drawing is so huge.

I am gonna colour this later, but maybe I shouldn't mention that - it might not happen, then... :0

Four Seasons

Plant creatures representing the four seasons, beginning with spring...for yet another new short comic loosely (very loosely) based on Robert Kroetsch's poem "The Seed Catalogue." Oh man, colouring seriously drives me nuts. Colours never look the way I want them to. What's the secret to using colour properly, anyway? :< If Robert Kroetsch made a comic, I suspect it might look something like this.

Anorak cover

My entry for the Anorak magazine cover design competition. I don't expect to win, but felt like doing it for fun, regardless. Plus, I had that cardboard texture that was just crying out to be used for SOMETHING... :p

knock knock, is anyone there

Jeremy brandishing a T-square. Kinda sloppy - but then, I only drew it because I had that oh-so-clever idea for the psychotic smiley shirt...

Cows...yes, I would certainly run if I were face-to-face with this group of cows.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR MARVIN...

Drawing for a weekly contest of sorts on an art forum. They're singing "HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR MARVIN" in binary. Yes, really. (Marvin, of course, being the Paranoid Android from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) Encoded using the binary translator at http://home2.paulschou.net/tools/xlate/

Yeah, I also recycled some of those old circuit boards from my "film". What're ya gonna do? XD Wait a minute, can a robot even have a birthday?! This drawing makes no sense on so many levels... Oh, well. :p
