Artist, educator, comics creator/editor and you know, also just a strange bipedal creature surviving off irradiated specs of biomass on a curiously blue planet.
Thurs, Sept 11th, 7pm - @shelflifebooks is hosting the long awaited launch of Alberta Comics: Love
This is the 2nd volume of the anthology I help edit, and I have a spicy comic in it too!

I reprinted some of my fav zines for this, and made a new collab print with my booth mate, Nicole-The-Bride-Gruzsecki - so it's a little creepy and fun. Bet!

Or you could order a different #canadianmothersdaygift from @renegadeartsent.bsky.social - Alice At Naptime is a trippy poetic lullaby of a graphic novel, from an indie Alberta publisher based in Canmore 🦫

I forgot to bring my art trading cards to my last Botanical Drawing class at AuArts, so I'm mailing them out to the artists who gave me theirs :)
Next session is May and June, Thursdays this time 🌸

Canadian tariffs on US books will devastate Canadian bookstores. Indie bookstores could be forced out of business, and libraries will be hit hard. Most books are published in the US, even those by Canadian authors.
Codes for tariffs opposed:
4901.10.00
4901.91.00
4901.99.00
4903.00.00

I just got back from Edmonton yesterday. Jenn Long and I installed a super neat collaboration in the front window area as part of our duo exhibition at @gallery501 in Strathcona County. I'm so excited for this project, it's been years in the making 😍

Usually I draw a bouquet at least once before it wilts. Very busy couple weeks up ahead getting ready for my show at Gallery 501. Will I squeeze in a drawing? Root for me!

Holding a stick.
I'm moving through the final to-do's for my duo-exhibition at @Gallery501 in Strathcona County (just outside Edmonton), with photographer Jenn Long.
We're putting up a neat collab in the front window and I'm *almost* prepped for it - involves cool stencils 😎

Shameless local-author/artist ad!
The best way to get my books is at a local independent bookstore :)
I get royalties when a library system brings in my books - ask for them, it really adds up!
Thanks to @renegadeartsent & @conundrumpress printing in Canada!

Throw back: self:portrait from 2003 or 04. Acrylic on canvas, just a wee one, 6 x 8 inches perhaps.

So I guess fuck every other (fascist) app.
I’ll be posting random work from across my 10+ years of study/practice here.
First up is Ishmael from AuArts year 2 - circa 2015
Scratch board and ink

Detail from an oil painting my husband and i have been working on for...20 years? It's probably his turn to work on it. Then again, it might still be mine.

8 years ago, inspired by mid century poster design and vintage hunting paraphernalia, I started drawing a series of dinosaur hunting/travel posters in the style of the old Canadian Pacific travel posters. This one was a direct spoof of a 1937 poster by Tom Hall. #dinosaurart #blueskyartists

Detail from "Slide Matrix" - I plan to paint the whole thing once more in acrylic and oil this time. Watercolour was a joy though, my biggest one this decade.

Flashback to my show at @nvrlnd.bsky.social this fall: This is how the kids tell me it's time to throw in the towel and go home.

For take-your-kid to work day I took my teen to the Alberta University of The Arts (where I'm teaching Cont. Ed). We found an interactive art project to play around in.
This IS such a fun place to work.
