CANCON-2012 Flyer Design
A little bit of portfolio stuff re: an upcoming event...
If you want a higher-resolution edition, in order to help get the word out, I could upload that to a public-access folder on Dropbox.

Counting Down to CAN-CON 2011
I've been meaning to get back "out there" in the convention and book sale circuit, and this convention newly revived was - is - part of an ongoing, improvised plan of solving that matter.
I'll be sitting on a few panel discussions telling tales and pretending that I have useful advice to give, but in reality, I'll be there to learn. From the other panellists, from the audience, from the rest of the CAN-CON 2011 organizers.
Two more days, and I'll see whichever of you cares to attend there.

CAN-CON 2011
I've been busy elsewhere for a fair while now. The day-job's been part of the reason for that, so have family-related matters, and a bit of stuff on my other blogs. If you've been following those other blogs, you've possibly already got a clue as to where this particular post is going.
But today is the day the situation's made clear:
I'm serving on the organizing committee - "ConComm" - of a local convention as a design consultant. The convention is CAN-CON 2011, the Conference on Canadian Content in Speculative Arts and Literature.
CAN-CON was revived last year after spending the previous decade in something like a coma. This is our second year back, and we're looking to build on the success of last year's revival. Our comics-related line-up is led off by Comics Guest of Honour Leonard Kirk.
But we don't stop there, including local writer/artists Jay (Kagigi the Raven) Odjick and Janet Hetherington.
Oh! I'll be sitting on a couple of panels as well!
If you should happen to be in Ottawa on the September 9th-11th weekend, I hope we see you there!

Hazeldean: Hewitt Way, Old-School
"What Canadian hockey fan alive during the last half-century or more is not going to twig to this one?"
That's what I wrote when I first uploaded this to Flickr awhile back in the fall of 2010. I was researching one of the articles on Ottawa street names that have been showing up at spacingottawa.ca under my byline from time to time, and when I saw this name on the map...well, things kept clicking.
It was almost certainly named for Foster Hewitt, the CBC sportscaster whose name and voice are synonymous for at least two generations' worth of Canadian hockey viewers and listeners by way of Hockey Night in Canada.
I wish I could recall listening to him when he was on the job, although I do recall seeing the 1972 summit series between Teams Canada and USSR as a child, which he came out of retirement specifically to cover.
