Can’t remember… if ever… I ever said the sentence: “It was a chilly evening on East Colfax in Denver and I suddenly found myself in a mead hall” … but here we are.

A brilliant afternoon spent in The Courtauld Gallery in London. K and I really wanted to see Manet’s ‘The Bar at the Folie-Bergere’, along with the gallery’s collection of other Impressionist paintings (including Mante’s study for ‘Le dejeuner sur l’herbe’.) Lovely.

K and I were fortunate enough to catch Ben Edge new solo-show ‘Children of Albion’ at Fitzrovia Chapel while we were in London. Stunning work of traditional folk characters along side British modern life, hanging in a Byzantine-inspired chapel. Brilliant. Loved the mari lwyd sculpture.

Back in CO after a long trip & still catching up. A great moment last week was being invited by friend & brilliant cartoonist @lucysullivan.bsky.social to a screening in London the film THING WITH FEATHERS. Benedict Cumberbatch plays a cartoonist, which Lucy did all the artwork featured in the film!

After a frustrating afternoon at Heathrow, our flight was cancelled. As if the universe patted us on the head… “Good job! Here’s one more night in London.”

After about twenty hours of travel (from Denver, to London, to Harrogate), we finally arrived in North Yorkshire. And, after years of watching British mystery shows, Kelly and @berincole.bsky.social have come prepared for the weekend.

Then on 11/15, Colfax Carousal is happening on East Colfax: 18 bands, 3 venues, 1 night. I drew up Colorado’s legendary blue demonic horse action as an illustration for the event.
I’m unfortunately out of town this weekend . You should check them out! The demon horse commands it!

One of my illustrations just arrived in the mail. Postcards with my recent East Colfax illustration are being send out by Colfax Ave BID listing some upcoming happenings along East Colfax. Keep an eye out as the postcard should be popping up in mailboxes all through the neighborhoods quite soon.

THIS WEEKEND! I’ll be back in the UK and exhibiting at @thoughtbubbleuk.bsky.social ! You can find me at Table C14 in the Comixology Hall with quite a few of my books and comics. You’ll probably recognize me by the slightly confused look on my face. Oh, and a hat. There always seems to be a hat.

NINE YEARS AGO TODAY: November 5, 2016. KellyandKarl Con. A brilliant wedding that, looking back, somehow seemed like dancing on the Titanic, three days before the world went to hell (the first time.) Cannot believe that it’s been nine years already. Will have to plan something big for year ten.
