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.

Skies, Then and Now

Irony found
in this fact:

I grew up in the Prairies
from Alberta
to Manitoba.
And so rarely
would I look up
at the skies
and the stars.

Despite watching
Adama and Kirk,
Rogers and Koenig,
I would not look
up at the skies
where, so the TV said,
their adventures
and trials played out.

Now, in Ottawa,
despite tales in the news
of light pollution
masking the skies,
I look up and see
at last, at long last,
Dubhe and Bellatrix,
Polaris and Rigel.

And still,
I do not quite
understand
what it is I see
at night, when
the skies are clear...
or at least...
clear enough.

One small lesson

Learned the hard way.

Never use Deleter colour pens on Peter Pauper Press sketchbooks. Sure, the results look cool. But the ink goes right through the page. (Certain other brands of brush pen marker, too, while I'm at it.)

Prismacolor Premier fine line markers, though? That's another, happier story.

I still like the sketchbooks. I just need thicker paper for some types of pen.

More colour experimentation

Yours to enjoy or not, done with Pitt Brush Pens and Prismacolor Premiers(among other devices). I like these tools.

Fansketching the Tenth Doctor

Just because I felt like it last night. I don't expect to earn any commissions on the strength of this.
