It's mid-July and I'm wearing a wool sweater

Finally! A selective visual journey through my past 6 weeks here in Newfoundland.

The Anglican Cemetery on Forest Road (next to the penitentiary).

Camping at Middle Cove Beach.

Gathering capelin at Outer Cove beach earlier this month.

Poppies in the front yard.

Egyptian Walking Onions at the Rabbittown Garden (I have been eating a lot of these lately and they are great).

A sneak peak at the Rabbittown garden shed mural, part 1.

More to come soon - I'll be leaving tomorrow on a road trip north to Fogo Island and Notre-Dame Bay.

How 'bout a slice of partridgeberry cheesecake?

Wise words from a documentary about Wayne White, artist, set designer, puppeteer. I didn't realize until watching it that he was responsible for so much of the visual side of many a '90s TV childhood: Pee-Wee's Playhouse, Beakman's World, Shining Time Station and this video.

Last Thursday some friends held a zine exchange party - this was my contribution (you can click on them to make them bigger).

Since we're going to get rain all day today I might just stay in and listen to this great story-map from Battery Radio - stories about Water Street and its environs. 

Little Archie's Cove

There are no straight roads here in St. John's:  they all curve around, go up crazy steep hills, switch names a few times over and then take you back to where you started somehow. It makes for a different biking experience, especially being one of the few bikes on the road. It's a good thing that most people are so courteous.

Some doodles made at a Starbucks and an airport, respectively.

I had a lovely conversation with Professor Hiscock last week about a great many things. He also took some candid pictures of me and the Encyclopedia of Newfoundland using his half-frame camera:

Here I am in the same chair back in October of 2011.

I've been experimenting a bit with my newly acquired knitting machine - here are some amazing covers of the stack of machine-knitting magazines that came with it:

         
          (I find this wig on a chair somewhat baffling but I love the stripes.)

Soon to come: I just finished drawing a new 'Bored Waitress' zine for an event this Thursday.

Thanks to Eastern Edge for letting me use their scanner, their office and staff. I'll be taking part in their Art Marathon this August.
