Bar Chatter

I was at an event called "Sketchy Sunday" yesterday, and saw someone resembling her on the TV, then tuned to CBC Newsworld, covering the NATO meeting in Chicago. And I was in a bar for the sketch party.

So this is the result.

So...Ottawa Comiccon

Expect to see a link to a Flickr gallery of pix taken during my visit to that event on Saturday.

Yeah, I know. I'm telling WAY too much about myself here with these photos...

Checking my stats...

...and I'm seeing a lot of Russian traffic lately.

The cynic in me wonders why.

So I've got this problem

...it seems there's this one posting here that is serving as a spam magnet, just a photo-link to a self-portrait over on my Flickr account.

The fact that it's become a spam magnet - the attempted "comments" are easily deleted, true - annoys me. Should I just delete the post itself, or will that merely persuade the spammers to pick another posting of mine to annoy me with?

Opinions and suggestions welcome, people, but keep them polite and keep them from getting me charged with violating the Criminal Code of Canada while you're at it. Solving my spam problem will do me no good if I'm jailed for the method.

One little design link for today

Ray Larabie pointed out a design-related rant that might be of some interest to all of us working...with our hands.

Go take a look. Might be worth at least ten minutes of your life.

Signage from the Local Protest

I have to admit to liking the uppermost sign. Its contents are a Truth.

Chinatown Jellybean

From Sketches

the last page of a tale that was drawn first...in the Shanghai Restaurant on Somerset Street in Ottawa's Chinatown, and the tables all had bowls of jellybeans that night. Thank the Ottawa Comix Jam for that inspiration.
