Gentle Beau

2008-02-11T18:35:00.000-08:00

About 10 years ago I had a comic strip called 'Gentle beau' that appeared in ID magazine and the Fulcrum. It's about a dog that has conversations with magazine cut-outs. I've always been amused by the expressions on models faces. Anyway I'm putting my favorite strips in one book and will have it ready soon.

I saw Dr.Love at the Carlingwood Mall today. I hadn't seen him in 20 years. To me he looked the same except for the wheelchair. He was as joyous as ever. He told me he had been in a coma for 3 months and had to re-learn how to speak. He also told me that his other zipper outfit, the red one, was in storage. I bought him a tea from Second Cup.

aujourd'hui il fait chaud

2007-09-20T10:27:00.000-07:00

I biked over to the Quebec side last night for an installment of Spins and Needles at the Museum of Civilization. It was like a daycare for adults. Booze, amazing loud music and crafts. We were given the choice of making a voodoo doll that looks like yourself or a mobile. I made a doll.
The first hour was very weird. I couldn't believe the amount of people coming in and the vast age difference. Grandmas and 20 year olds. And everybody getting down to crafting seriously. Young women coming in alone after work, politely nodding to the people at their tables then, making crafts man. And lot's of straight guys.
The music was so good it was as if I had awaken from a long sleep.
