Journal Comics – April 2024

This post has images! If they do not show up for you, please click through! Hi-ho! Happy last full week of April! We are all hurtling through time at an unimaginable pace and before we know it we will all return to dust. It's my birthday on Thursday! I'm going to be 33 years old. In a few months I will hit 11 years of living in Winnipeg which is the longest I have ever lived in one place ever. I never thought I'd be here but here I am, and I love it. I was at the Lucky Girl Pop Up last weekend and I had such a great time. Thank you so much to everyone who came out!! It was so great, in fact, that I decided to work on my birthday and set up a table at another small market on the 25th! I'll be hanging out in the Richardson Building Concourse with a bunch of other vendors at the Made Here MB POP! Open House from 11 AM-2 PM. I really hope to see you there, those of you who are willing and able! accurate representation of how it feels to do a good market In other news, for those of you who have been unfortunate enough to be around me over the last week or so, you'll know that I hit my head at the playground and have been working through a mild concussion. You'll know this, because I absolutely will not shut the fuck…

PORTOBELLO CAPRESE SALAD + BALSAMIC GLAZE

This post has images! If they do not show up for you, please click through! So I've been doing calendars for a few years in a row now, and not once have I made it through without some kind of error or typo. Most of them are not egregious (although last year I did accidentally give November 31 days. Didn't throw December off so it was okay, just embarrassing), but it does set me on edge every time I flip to a new month, knowing that I may be revealing a new stupid thing I did that a couple hundred people will be looking at every day for the next 28-31 days. I did recipe calendars this year, and April is this tasty little dish. However, I must note that I adapted the calendar recipes from a document that I've formatted for an eventual cookbook I'd like to share, and thus have made a small error in the ingredients. I do not have a "sauces" section in my calendar. I am a FOOL. An absolute MAROON! I noticed a couple weeks ago but haven't had a chance to issue a press release until now! So I thought I'd share two recipes today. One being April's recipe and another being the missing balsamic glaze! Bone appateet! PORTOBELLO CAPRESE SALAD This is a really easy dinner that seems fancier than it is. It’s especially nice in the late summer when you can get fresh tomatoes and basil from the garden. I usually…

ART ROUNDUP: MARCH 2024

This post has images! If they do not show up for you, please click through! I hope you all had a lovely long weekend! Please wish my partner Matt a happy belated birthday, it was on the 31st! He told me that one year when he was a kid his birthday fell on Easter and nobody came to his birthday party and that is one of the saddest things I've ever heard. On that note, let's look at some of the art I made this month! This is all just personal stuff and does not include any commissions, of which there were a fair few. Is this why my back always hurts? Nah, it's way easier to blame it on the kid. She can't read anyway. I've been trying to paint at least one or two acrylic studies a week, but I'll admit I've been pretty busy in the latter half of the month and have been slacking a bit on that front. It's okay, it's all marinating. I don't know what kind of painter I want to be yet, and all my ideas, influences, experiences--they're all composting while I rest or work on other things. Also I have apparently been going through another David Tennant/Doctor Who... thing... I guess, so who has the time when there's fanart to do? (Classic Alex move, really.) Aiming to do at least a couple #PleinAirpril studies, even if I just end up taking my ipad out because real paint feels like too much…
