Feeling Canadian?
Jul. 31st, 2019 11:22 amThere's a thing I want to talk at length about, in reply to an opinion of Lee "Budgie" Barnett's recently published. When I do discuss it, it's going to ramble a bit. So I'm making a note of the link now.

A Hint re: Alpha Flight from Dustin Weaver

Been getting a few things done this past while. I could bore you with the list, but I think I want to do an "open mike" of some sort session tonight. Just one condition: tell me one place you've never been to on this planet, and why you want to go there.
Over to you!

Six years and counting down to Canada 150
Jan. 1st, 2011 05:19 pmInspired by remarks by Romeo Dallaire in recent weeks, Geoff d'Auria for the Tyee suggests a project or two of his own preference for Canada's 150th Birthday Party. I know of Dallaire's preference for pursuing the abolition of child soldier recruitment, and in my POV, both proposals ought to be pursued regardless of whether we can get them either done or at least underway in time. Nor are they the only ones.
Opinions, anyone?

Some goals for 2011
Dec. 27th, 2010 11:32 pmI'm not quite ready to call these "resolutions". They're more accurately called a list of things it would be nice to chalk up as "done" over the course of next year. It's almost a certainty that I won't be able to get to them all, but...here goes:
1) Walk the distance along the Ottawa River pathway from Ogilvie Road to the Aviation Museum. Anything further west towards the downtown neighbourhoods would be gravy on the potatoes.
2) Get at least one more comics project drawn and professionally published.
3) Improve my skills and understanding of Manga Studio.
4) Ditto for Photoshop...
5) ...and for Illustrator...
6) ...and on InDesign.
7) Help get the 2011 edition of Can-Con going with the design/illustration skills and experience I've already got.
8) Do more writing for Spacing Ottawa.
9) Get at least one writing project professionally published.
10) Get back into a regular walking exercise regimen.
11) Visit one part of Ottawa-Gatineau I've never been to before.
12) Visit another part of Canada I've never been to before.
13) Visit either Toronto or Montréal again this year.
14) Stay on speaking terms with as much of my extended family as possible.
15) Learn a new skill. Not sure which one yet.
16) Leave the list open to adding more goals as circumstances permit/require.
17) Learn more about transgender people and their concerns. (Suggested by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

I'm aware that, for a cartoonist and writer, I've done more writing than showing off illustrations here so far.
Call it a New Year's Resolution, then: I will remedy this in 2006. Not sure of the exact details of "how" just yet, but I will fix this.
