Passing this along, as I have confirmation from multiple sources that it is for real. Peter's work sits in my comics storage boxes and on my bookshelves, and I've enjoyed much of it over the decades. If you can help and haven't already done so, please do.

I've known this guy for a couple of decades now. Providing a virtual bullhorn seems to be as much help as I can personally give at the moment. So...

The last week or so has seen me binging on instructional videos for comics artists. The point - pun, somewhat intended here - is to get back into practice as an illustrator. I'm using both traditional and digital toolkit here, as I believe well-rounded artists ought to be.

Consequently, I'm looking for supplies. Specifically sources for 2 mm mechanical pencil leads, 4H and harder. Which is proving somewhat difficult right now, since the major North American and European suppliers seem reluctant to make and sell any leads harder than 4H these days. Recommendations of new sources are most definitely welcome.

(Yes, I continue to look for office work jobs. Can't afford not to!)

If there's no rescue for this publication, it will indeed be a sad day for movie makers and the people learning those arts.

I am on Adam-Troy Castro's friendlist on Facebook, and we have enough mutual friends and acquaintances between us who've done their own due diligence by now that I am convinced this is for real.

If you can help, please do.

...I seem to remember making to one of you on my friendlist today. Or one of your friendlisters.

I need a memory refresher, because I want that Adobe Illustrator practice time!

I remembered: it's for [personal profile] moon_custafer.

Just did some editing to restore legibility to my home website at NCF. I haven't been happy with it for a few weeks, for whatever that's worth. So hopefully, it's fixed now.

Also, looking to update the page devoted to local comics shops in Ottawa-Gatineau.

You've all heard about the new Marvel movie based on the Guardians of the Galaxy comics, right?

One of the creators of one of the star characters is in need of ongoing help paying medical bills, and this is one of the ways you can help him out. There are other ways and I hope to pass the word about those as well. If you beat me to the punch by posting those links yourselves, I won't complain. At all.

Apparently, a lot of pieces of Denys' original work disappeared in transit. Details here:

http://comicsbeat.com/denys-cowan-art-that-ups-lost-may-be-at-large/

Considering that Denys co-created or visually influenced a tonne of my favourite characters over the last couple of decades in particular - including the Milestone/Dakotaverse roster - I would be pleased indeed to see these pieces returned to whence they came. Intact.

Some of you on my LJ friendlist have family back in the Philippines. Some of you live there (still, I hope).

I'm going to see what I can do this week about heeding at least some of Tammy Pierce's advice re: the situation there.

For Canadians, here's our branch of the Red Cross, and here's the home page for OXFAM Canada.

Other stuff can wait a little while.

I have sad news: that corpse that was found near South Keys Mall earlier today?

It was indeed the lady we've been hoping to find. Police press release link here for the details.

So now it's a search for evidence and/or witnesses. If you know anything about this that you suspect the police don't yet already know, I urge you to call, write or e-mail per the contact info in the above-linked press release.

Please.

...and while I don't recall having met this particular missing person, she's dear to at least one of my friendly acquaintances. So just in case this is of any help in finding her, preferably safe and well again...

Missing Person Poster here! )

If you've spotted this person wherever you are, please use the included contact info!

You've seen the CBC report. You've read the Citizen coverage, right?



Well, this is me trying to spread the word about one of my favourite hangouts in the city. My writing workshop, Pen and Paper, the one that [livejournal.com profile] themoo37 runs and a few others on my friendlist also attend as time permits is endangered. They're in need of a rescue and as they've been good to me and friends of mine...well, this is me looking for help in helping them out. Whether it's one big buyer taking over the place, or a bunch of smaller investors not looking to take over but to help keep a good thing going...I don't think it'll matter to Christopher Smith and Craig Poile overmuch so long as it works.

The store's own website is here, if you want a look.

Soon, please?
