Convention goers will often bring comic items to the table even I dont have. This was our tribute to the king of sound effects, MAD artist Don Martin. I insisted on hand lettering and inking this one. Writing by Ian Boothby, who got it all correct.
I like that Hibbert.

Today's commission: Artwork created to support an organizing campaign in Champlain Heights. Yes, they're planning the mass tower profusion there, too... all over the neighbourhoods and parks.

In honour of Boris Karloff on his birthday. Scratchboard piece created @ 2011 from a scene in "The Body Snatcher" (1945). My favourite performance from the "uncanny" one.

Drew this in summer of 2023 to support efforts to stop the proposed condo development from being dropped on the Memorial Monument square in Chinatown (residents did a public vote against-- hence the red cards). Back speaking at City Hall today. See 105keefer.ca for more.

Final passages of Sigfried Sassoon's “Repression of War Experience”, which I adapted for the 'Above The Dreamless Dead' anthology. The guns are still firing, whether we choose to look or not.
In honour of the fallen everywhere, uniform or not, and regardless of place or face.

Today’s commission: This was a fun one. After seeing some art I made for a pal, Joe Bob Brigg’s producer contacted me about creating a piece featuring the famed late night “Drive In” host in the style of a MAD cover for their offices. Watercolour and speedball pen. Apologies to Davis.

A neighbour sent a pic of their little one enjoying the candies offered by the repurposed sign I set up in the lobby on Friday. In the video he chirps: "Thank you skeleton!"

I repurposed my sign from last weekend’s Comic & Toy Show for our apartment lobby. Thanks to Theresa and Nova at Rath Art Supplies for providing the lumber, cutting, and paints to make this happen! Happy Halloween to my neighbours at Pine Court and across all lands!

“Borderlands”; a recent commission drawn for my friend Abby, who’s been very supportive at recent shows. This was a fun one. I don’t normally do any kind of gun stuff, but with a beer bottle gun scope, I’ll let it go. Watercolour on hot press. Thanks again for supporting your local doodler, Abby!

Used to be standing marching orders to kick out a scratchboard piece 'round this time of year, but time frames in the past weeks didn't allow it. Still, I like sharing this one. "He Give Out Special Crisps". Created for the late Ayden Gallery's Robots And Monsters show. #scratchboard #hallowseve
