Ferry alternative

My cartoon for the Northeast Avalon Times! Pick one up! The poor old Bell Island ferry seems to be forever up on cinder blocks.

Buy local

My cartoon for this month's Northeast Avalon Times. Two "big" concerts going head-to-head this summer on the same day: one in St. John's and one in Grand Falls creating a little townies vs. baymen action. Enjoy the show if yer goin' but don't forget to buy local when you can!

Not far enough...

The cats who stole Christmas

My cartoon for the December edition of the Northeast Avalon Times.

Roads (or lack thereof)

My latest cartoon for the Northeast Avalon Times. Pick one up if you're in the area.

I know there are much worst roads in the province than those in St. John's, but the massive amount of daytime road repair/tear-up has been bugging everyone in town (including me) for months. Also, the city has been extraordinarily slow at re-painting the roads this year... it's mid-October and some of the busiest streets are just getting done. In a few short months (weeks?) they'll be covered with snow and the paint will be scraped away by the plows throughout the winter.

Let's hope everyone in charge of these projects have a better plan for 2015.

Bragging puffins

My latest silly contribution to the Northeast Avalon Times.

The games people play

My latest cartoon for the August edition of the Northeast Avalon Times.

I've been making these digitally for the most part including using fonts for the text. But this one was strictly by hand with a fine point marker. (It does get scanned eventually as publishing is a purely digital operation these days. After the scan I cleaned up a few lines and added the greys.)

Plow Paranoia

My cartoon for the April Northeast Avalon Times! Pick one up if you're in the area.

Newfoundland Gothic

My cartoon for the recent issue of the Northeast Avalon Times... pick one up if you're in the area! It's normally greyscale but I thought I'd add some colour for the blog.

Polar Vortex

My cartoon for the February issue of the Northeast Avalon Times! Pick one up if you're in the area.

Blackout business

My cartoon for the January issue of the Northeast Avalon Times... pick one up if you can!

The original postie

Santa mulls over the new system in the December issue of the Northeast Avalon Times. A dig at the recent announcement by Canada Post to eliminate home delivery. Imagine if Santa took such measures.... not very merry.

Cat catcher

My latest cartoon for the Northeast Avalon Times... a little dig at our mayor of St. John's and his recent crack-down on roaming cats.

BTW, I've been a little more focused on social media updates these days than this blog. Blogs seem to be waning in popularity. I too have noticed my traffic dropping and driving people here seems like an arduous task. I'll continue to do periodic updates but if you're interested in catching my day-to-day activity, check out my Facebook page.

Ferry alternative

My little jab at the state of the ferries in the province in this month's Northeast Avalon Times. Pick one up if you're in the area. If you're not up on the story, it's a reference to Sheilagh O'Leary's recent "Tickle Swim for Mental Health" from Portugal Cove to Bell Island.

Surly puffins

A little jab at the tourists in Newfoundland for the Northeast Avalon Times. Pick one up!

NEAT cartoon, June edition

This is my cartoon for the June Northeast Avalon Times. Pick one up! Always great read brought to you be Kathryn Welbourn and her cast of mad scribblers. Quite happy to still have a toe dipped in the newspaper industry... even if it’s just a monthly cartoon.

Biker gangs moving into St. John’s was in the news last week and again this week. Also some questions raised as to whether or not it’s just an over-hyped story. Either way, people are talking about it.

Between the weekend markets and my freelance work, there’s been no art-making the last week or so. But the ideas are percolating madly. Anxious to get the next painting underway as soon as the schedule clears a little.

Can’t fire the pollsters
