Friday Night Magic
Went out Friday night, and I’m late as usual. Drove across the town to the scratched-throat vocals of Tom Waits playing through dying speakers. I promised to pick up Em to deliver her to La Chat Noir, an irregular nightclub event that’s run out of the Kremlin Bar. Its a place that capitalises soviet chic,…

In The Post
Two things arrived for me in the post today. Firstly my copy of Weathercraft by Jim Woodring. This is simply a marvelous looking book and inside, continues the adventures of the various characters of the Woodring World, and in particular ManHog. For the most part, these comics are silent. They tell their tales solely through…

Crash
*Sigh* Some things are not meant to be. Yet. My birthday was on Friday. All went fairly well. Spent a day with a friend, Em, taking photos of graffiti as per the weird tradition I do every birthday now. I did take a lot of photos, but a great chunk of them were long murals.…

Landed
Well I’m back home now. It was a really good week. I was busy helping out with an art exhibition, got to see my family, and generally break from my routine. Over the week, Jeremy put me up in his place. Part of it looked like this. And when I say part I mean about…

The National Gallery had finally peeled away some of the temporary fences that concealed it’s renovations (at least one of them). At first glance it looked like an art bunker of some kind. A place that…

HeadDesk
This week has been a frustrating affair. I have been updating a friend’s website and wordpress continues failing to work. For some reason after updating automatically and manually the wordpress engine, several times, the site would still not work properly. The administration panel would bug out on me. As in it would display, and then…

Papercuts and Wine
In September, I’ll be heading north for the Papercuts Collective Zine Launch to meet up with friends and family and generally take a break. The zine launch will feature three zines from BeardedHobo (who has recently returned from Japan), Bianca Valentino (who I mentioned previously) and Matt Limmer (who I have never met). A portion…

No Photos
Recently I saw the roller derby finals on Saturday night. Sadly around this time Adobe Photoshop stopped working for me. I currently own a subscription copy of Adobe CS4 Premium. And i pay a chunk of my wages for it. So you would think that when I am a paying customer, I would receive the…
