We Used to Have Wine in the House..

It's another round of films playing tonight via le CBC Short Film Face-Off (see previous post) - be sure to check out the next three! 

On other matters, here is a comic about my older brother, who got married last weekend. He was an interesting (and very amusing) person to grow up with.

 

CBC Short Film Face-Off!

The CBC Short Film Face-Off Competition starts up tomorrow night! You can catch the films on CBC television or online and cast your vote June 30th! (My film will be playing that night).

Puppet Progress

Puppet progress - arms etc. There's a horse outside my window.

Contrary to popular belief, I'm not dead. In fact, I'm very much alive these days.

This summer is one of silence and cacaphony. Community, dirt-induced seratonin boosts, low-lit evenings and the proper weight of night. Reading books out of the wazoo as they say.

Halifax, by the way, was fantastic and very quaint.

The following are some related and un-related sketches:

 a girl in Tequila Bookworm who had incredibly graceful hands

a horse at the rodeo

Shadow The Dog (this one done in finger-paint and pen, which is rather fun!)

I'm off to Hali(fax) tomorrow! Off to land of sea! p.s. More posts soon to come.

Speaking In Other Languages

There was a summer when my twin sister and I tried to speak in our own language. It never worked though, because we were too lazy to actually bother about giving any words meaning - we just liked making the gibberish with some random French words thrown in.

Th'Scarf - more screenings!

Good news, mes amis! The Scarf has made it into a few more screenings, and a book!

First up, it will be playing on May 8th at the Pencils, Pixels & Puppets showcase, a Sheridan 'best of the last 5 years' at the TIFF Bell Lightbox.

Second, it will be in competition at the CBC's Short Film Face-Off program happening in May (televised in June, by the looks of it). So I'll be in Hali-fax for a few days where things are happening, hoorah!

And Third, The Scarf has made it into a book compilation of The Art of Short Films, which is a pretty brilliant idea for an art book and something I'm thrilled it's a part of.

And also: a random sketch for your enjoyment.
