Adventures in Officeland

One good thing about losing all my old posts is that the ones harping on and on about not having much except a cartoon to post this month are now gone. So…this month so far I have a cartoon to post…but it’s possibly the start of a new series if I can keep it generic enough.

Let me just say that this conversation occurred during a lunch break. Normally we’re all very wrapped up in our work and my boss didn’t tell me to add this disclaimer. Really.

Getting back into the swing of things

I finally got out to a couple of Urban Sketchers events and am posting a couple of drawings from those outings. Otherwise, my artwork these days (other than my “work” – you know, that officey thing I’m doing during the day) is mostly about drawing crows. My deadline for the crow project is June so I’ll definitely have a June post. I had hoped to work on my site theme before now, but I guess that will come in its own time. My most important task for this blog will be, you guessed it, to back it up properly. See January’s post.

Forcing change after 5 years

Well, my lowly little blog got hacked and, since I never bothered to do a back-up, 5 years of posts have been lost. Am I disturbed? Not really – I don’t think I had much to say! The purpose of this blog has always been to force me to post art I have made once a month. To keep me on track and give me a deadline. That’s all. The fact that people drop by to see the work is a bonus (and you have my thanks).

This is actually an ideal opportunity for me to finally get my act together to create a few galleries of work – from my urban sketches (Vancouver Urban Sketchers), prints and paintings and the odd (sometimes very) cartoon. So to you who find me, thanks for dropping by and I hope you’ll be back to check out some of my work.
