Let's reintroduce myself to you...July 2012 Edition

[dewline]

With apologies one more time to Matt Dusk. That song's a good one.

Seeing as we've got a few new faces here on the friendlist since January 2011...



I'm Dwight Williams, an occasional Storyteller in Words and Pictures with some of the arrogance that goes with that. I don't know where the rest of the arrogance I'm supposed to have is, but it seems to have been misplaced somehow en route to my door.

(Or maybe not. Need to double-check that.)

Currently, there's a few projects on various burners. There's one I've mentioned previously, drawing the artwork for the next issue of Local Hero is on temporary hold. First issue is done, in print and available per the sidebar linkage. Second issue is in the works. My partner on this series of mini-series -- thus have we planned things out -- is one Ian Gould.

Last summer, another book called Kagemono: Flowers and Skulls came out. This book has a story, "Written in the Stars", written by jasonfranks  and illustrated by my hand, mouse, and tablet. You can currently get it via Amazon.com or directly from the publisher.

Other, smaller projects are on various burners and hopefully something will come of them all in due course.

My main website, detailing my history in the field of writing and illustration to date, some of my favourite places, devices for the work, likes and dislikes in the worlds of entertainment and so on, is here.

You're looking at my Livejournal right now, of course. And running parallel to this blog is my ArtBlog. The ArtBlog is where I'll occasionally post artwork from behind the scenes of whatever project is currently my main focus, as well as the occasional random sketch(line art or CGI) or photo, just because I feel like it that day.

As of today, I still live in the city of Ottawa, national capital of Canada. I'm usually pleased about this fact for reasons I occasionally discuss at some length from time to time here...and elsewhere. I contribute on occasion to other blogs, including the original publicbroadcasting.ca blog, still active as such...and spacingottawa.ca, a blog devoted to urban infrastructure issues here in Ottawa-Gatineau, linked up with Spacing Magazine.

If you want to reach me via e-mail, check my profile page. There should be at least one e-mail address there, or if not, then the homepage referred to above should provide for e-mail contact info. I'll be particularly interested if anyone wants me for commission work, but if you've got a subject that catches my eye, I won't ignore you right off the bat.

Looking forward to months ahead...and over to you!

What is it -- 3 July I think -- that is a fish house -- an ice house -- for ice fishing -- you put them on the lake when it is frozen -- supposed to remove them prior to ice-out.

Hmmm?

Clicked the link to the art blog -- it has a photo post asking "what is this"

Ah! It's been bugging me for a while, so thanks for clearing that up!

Ice fishing is common here -- personally, it sounds like a totally miserable way to spend the weekend to me, but many people enjoy it.

And to me, but there are those in Ottawa-Gatineau who enjoy it as well. And it seems that many of them don't like to travel too far from home to do that enjoyment.
