Hey everybody!
(Crickets.)
So, with that about o’ the way, let’s get to the main thing.

As of today, I am a working artist. I am part in my 2nd online show with Aird Gallery. I'm still on my path with comics, perhaps in galleries, we’ll see.

Before it became real to me, the lockdown was not yet in effect, I went to Hamilton to experience the art show you see above, I lent the book that was part of the exhibit to a teacher, it still might be in that desk of my high school.
You’ve probably heard this story before, young cartoonist went to art gallery with comics on the walls and was changed by it.

Some other things that I remember from that gallery are the painting of an angel with the name MIKE being in blue and all caps being painted on it, and a room of photos focusing on northwest coast artwork. I felt the comics measured up in artistic possibility and achievement to those, different as all three are: painting, photography, and comics.
I also, more recently, brought Cole Paul’s to the attention of a person working at the Remai Modern, they were interested in bringing attention to his work as part of the gallery in some form.

In more recent events!
I plan on continuing my lessons from Ivan Brunetti’s course in a booklet, the name of which is the title of this entry.
(The class I'm taking currently will focus on for the time being, but I've made the commitment to try Brunetti's booklet.)
I will pick up where I left off, I think I can manage that.
Annie Mok took this class in person, I don’t think this will make my comics like hers, but it’s worth mentioning she has accomplished quite a lot with what she’s done after Brunetti’s class. (She also continued her training, I should mention.)
