Bad Kitty!

This week, I thought I would post an image which is a rework of a project from a few years ago. I found a concept sketch, which was never used and polished it up a bit.

Enjoy!

The World's Greatest Detective

Happy 2007 everyone!

I’ve been thinking lately how I miss reading comic books. I used to spend SO much time and money buying, studying and drawing comics.

I first got hooked on comics at Steve’s house, reading ‘A Death in the Family’ - the storyline in which Robin is killed. In 2002, I pretty much stopped ‘cold turkey’. (It was easy. I was totally broke.) I’ve never really got back into buying them.

Since I’m living half a world away from my comic collection at the moment, it has been a long while since I read any of them. It’s been even longer since drew anything related to comics. So, I thought I’d pump out a Batman image. My style has changed a lot, but he’s still fun to draw!

Tech issues - Images gone!

Hey y'all,

Switching hosts caused a minor malfunction; I lost all images on this blog! Ouch!

I'm working on getting them all up again.

Chad :)

Update: I think all images are replaced! Enjoy!

Ghosts

I’ve worked on this piece on and off for some time. I’ve never really been happy with it. By posting it here I hope to put it to bed for good.

It’s supposed to be funny. It isn’t though. Ha ha. Crap.

Starlings

Hi everyone! Barb and I are settled in Auckland now and finally got internet access at home. I can start posting again!

This is an illustration of some crazy birds that are often in the back yard here. I think they might be starlings. Most birds here seem to be super aggressive and not at all afraid of people.

Stay tuned for more illos!

New Zealand - Thank you!

As many of you know, my wife Barbara and I are moving to Auckland, New Zealand for a while. We fly out at 6:45 am on September 28.

It’s been pretty hectic the last while, with all the planning and moving stuff around. Fortunately, we have a lot of people who have helped us out tremendously!

First, our friends Devin & Natalie have graciously offered to put us up while we’re staying in Auckland. Devin and I shared a roof in past, when we drank nonstop for three years attended college. Devin has also been super helpful in terms of guidance regarding the various paperwork, permits, visas, and costs associated with moving from Canada to New Zealand. He’s also been doing his best to find me work!

Our friends Nevin & Kristina have generously let us stay with them here in Saskatoon. Since we rented our house out faster than we anticipated, we needed a place to stay before we flew out. Nevin is also going to take care of our house while we’re away. Nevin & Kristina’s help has made our lives so much easier in the last month. We owe them big-time! Barb and I really hope they will visit us in Auckland!

By the way, if anyone is planning to buy or sell a house in Saskatoon, Nevin is your man. (I’m not just a friend, I’m also a client!)

Last but not least, we owe a huge ‘thank you’ to our family. We’ve had a ton of help with moving, locating paperwork, banking, bill arrangements, mail forwarding, research, loaning money, storage and cat-sitting. As well, we’ve been treated to BBQs, suppers, and been given various travel items, not to mention all the guidance and wisdom. Everyone has been super supportive and very generous! Thanks a million! We love you!

Thank you so much everyone! We totally couldn’t be doing this without all your help!
